Pearson is introducing new enhancements to the PTE Academic test from 7 August 2025 to better reflect real-world English skills. The core structure and benefits—fast scoring, AI scoring, computer-based delivery, and global recognition—remain unchanged.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| New Question Types | 1. Respond to a Situation 2. Summarise Group Discussion |
| Impacted Skill | Speaking Section |
| Preparation Support | New prep materials, including videos, webinars, and updated question banks |
| Validity of Old Materials | Existing preparation materials remain valid and useful |
Tip: These new tasks test your ability to respond spontaneously and summarise spoken content—skills vital for academic and real-life communication.
| Feature | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Scoring Method | Still primarily AI-based for consistency and speed |
| Human Involvement | Greater human oversight for longer responses (mainly content, not fluency) |
| Oral Fluency & Pronunciation | Still scored entirely by AI |
| Score Turnaround | Fast results — typically within 48 hours |
Confidence Point: Scores will not be influenced by individual human bias, as humans will only check for content relevance, not delivery style.
PTE Academic continues to be widely accepted for:
| Type | Details |
