How do PTE Academic scores align with Common European Framework?
PTE Academic is aligned (preliminary estimate) to the Common European Framework (CEF or CEFR) a widely recognized benchmark for language ability developed by the Council of Europe (2001) and other international English language tests.
The CEF includes a set of consecutive language levels defined by descriptors of language competencies. These commonly defined levels enable language learners, teachers, universities and employers to compare and relate language qualifications by level.
Some Resources on web site:
- a free online test tutorial to navigate the test. This can be accessed at http://pearsonpte.com/PTEAcademic/Tutorial/Pages/home.aspx

PTE Academic features
20 item types1 reflecting different modes of language use, different response tasks and different response formats. Each item type assesses one language skill or a combination of language skills, representing the range of functions and situations that students encounter during academic studies in an English-speaking environment.
The test lasts for a maximum of 3 hours and consists of three main parts:
Part 1) Speaking and writing (approximately 77–93 minutes)
Part 2) Reading (approximately 32–41 minutes)
Part 3) Listening (approximately 45–57 minutes)2
Test takers are required to demonstrate a number of sub-skills when taking the test, e.g. identifying a writer’s purpose, tone, technique and attitude in reading texts. Performance on the test is reported as an Overall Score, Communicative Skills scores for speaking, writing, reading, and listening, and Enabling Skills scores for grammar, oral fluency, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary.
Test Format
PTE Academic uses authentic material from a variety of academic contexts and topics, and tasks reflect the language you will use in real-life academic settings.
The entire test is taken in a single three-hour test session for a more convenient testing experience. PTE Academic is divided into three timed sections, in addition to a short un-timed introduction and an optional ten-minute break.
