What is the PTE Exam?

The Pearson Test of English is a computer-based English language proficiency test for international students who wish to study or immigrate to English-speaking countries. This test is of 3-hour duration and consists of essay writing, multiple-choice questions, explaining, paraphrasing, and more. The exam pattern is quite simple, with questions based on the general English language. The exam format is designed in such a way that it tests the two skills together - reading and speaking or listening and reading.

Although the test is comparatively new, it has gained worldwide popularity and is accepted by most universities, colleges, professional associations, and governments. The good news for candidates is that Pearson PLC Group - the conducting body of the PTE exam, has launched PTE at Home. So candidates who want to register for the PTE test can check the official website of the PTE and book a test centre near them.
