Without the right strategy and enough preparation, no exam is easy to crack. However, irrespective of how much you study the syllabus and how much you practice with different types of tasks (different questions in the PTE exam), most of the success comes from knowing how the software evaluates your voice and inputs, as the test is entirely AI-scored (except for a few tasks, where a review from a human expert is added to verify the AI-scoring for that task).

PTE Academic test dates in India are available throughout the year. There is no fixed annual calendar; instead, Pearson uses a rolling live booking system.

Hence, if you want to book a slot as per your convenience, don't wait until the last moment to book your test.

The test slots are available on a rolling, daily basis across the 62 authorised PTE test centres in India. Students can often book a slot just 24 hours in advance, though peak admission seasons require booking weeks ahead
