This test is used as a requirement for admission into many schools and institutions around the world.

The PTE (Pearson Vue) is a standardized test developed by Pearson Education Limited. The test was first introduced in 2000 and has been updated several times since then. The current version of this test is called ‘Pearson Vue’ or ‘Vue’.

The PTE test is held online and it lasts for about 3 hours. There are 4 different types of question formats in the test. They include Text Completion, Multiple Choice, Short Answer and Essay Based Questions. Each type of question has its own difficulty level.

Text Completion – It is similar to the SAT Subject Tests. In this section, there will be two passages with 6-8 sentences per passage. Your task will be to choose the correct word or phrase from the six options provided. If you get more than three wrong answers, you will not be able to proceed further.

Multiple Choice – This is the most common type of question in the PTE test. Here, you will find five choices marked A, B, C, D and E. You will also find a blank space below them where you need to select the best option.

Short Answer – In this section, you will be asked to write a paragraph or a few paragraphs answering a set question. There will be only one right answer but you may use as many words as you want.

Essay Based Question – In this section, there is no right or wrong answer. Instead, you will be given four statements and you need to pick out the statement that best fits the situation described in the question.

How do I prepare for the PTE test?

If you are going to take the PTE test, you should start preparing well before the actual date. The reason behind this is because you will need time to practice the test material. So make sure you start practicing the test materials as early as possible.

You should read through the entire test guide thoroughly so that you know what the topics covered in the test are. Also, it would help if you could refer back to the test guide whenever you feel stuck.

You should also practise writing essays in advance. Make sure you understand the structure of the essay and how to organize your thoughts. You should also make sure that you follow all the rules while writing an essay.

Practise reading comprehension and listening comprehension questions. Try to solve these problems yourself first before asking someone else to check your work.

Also, you should try solving sample papers so that you can see how the test questions are structured. Once you have solved those questions, you should go ahead and try solving some other sample papers.

Once you have practiced enough, you should then move onto the speaking part. Practice speaking by recording yourself on video and listen to it repeatedly until you become comfortable with the way you speak.

Once you are ready, you should then start practising the test itself. You should focus on the multiple choice questions first. Then, when you are confident with the multiple choice questions.
