In 2026, the PTE Academic is a 2-hour computer-based test scored on a scale of 10 to 90 points. The scoring is "integrated," meaning a single task often contributes marks to two different sections. For example, Read Aloud gives points to both Speaking and Reading.
If you are an Indian student aiming for a top-tier UK university, focus 70% of your effort on Repeat Sentence, Fill in the blanks and Write from Dictation tasks.
