Questions
Is it for PTE Academic or PTE Core?
Both. You choose your test once at the start. Chapters that differ, like Write Essay and Write Email, follow your choice, and so does the practice test.
Is this a PDF?
No. It is an interactive book that opens in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. You tap, answer and get feedback on every page.
Does it give me a PTE score?
No. Only Pearson's official test gives a PTE score. The book shows you what the computer counts in every task, and your practice test shows which task types cost you marks.
Not an official PTE product and not connected to Pearson. No score is promised. Want a teacher to check your speaking and writing? Book the Diagnostic ($60).
