The loop

Four steps, then repeat

Every cycle moves your predicted score. Most learners run it three times a week.

01

Set your target

Tell us the score you need and your exam date. Every screen is measured against that number from then on.

02

Practise a task type

Answer under exam timing and get the score plus the trait breakdown before you move on.

03

Sit a mock test

A timed run with a section clock, question navigator and autosave, then a full report module by module.

04

Fix the weak spot

Analytics rank your task types worst to best. Work down that list until the prediction clears your target.

Why it works

Feedback specific enough to act on

Most platforms give you a number. This one names the trait that cost the mark, the word you skipped and the pair you put out of order.

Speaking, analysed in the browser

Record, play back, and see words per minute, hesitation count and every word you skipped — highlighted against the reference text, no upload and no waiting.

Results

People who got the score they needed

“I had sat the test twice and kept landing on 71. The trait breakdown showed my writing form mark was zero every time because I was going over the word limit. Fixed that one habit and cleared 79.”
HS Harpreet Sandhu Registered nurse · India

71 → 82 +11

“The speaking analysis was the thing. Seeing that I was averaging 96 words a minute with four long pauses explained a fluency score I had been arguing with for months.”
MD Maria Delgado Civil engineer · Colombia

64 → 76 +12

“Re-order paragraphs used to be a coin flip for me. The adjacent-pair marking made it obvious that I was getting two out of four right and losing the rest to one bad guess at the opening.”
TW Tan Wei Ming Software developer · Malaysia

68 → 79 +11

“I used the analytics page as my study plan. Worst question type at the top, work down the list. Six weeks later the predicted score matched what I actually got, almost to the point.”
AH Amira Haddad Pharmacist · Egypt

59 → 74 +15

“Write from dictation went from my worst task to my most reliable one, purely because the word-by-word highlighting showed me I was mishearing plurals rather than whole words.”
NT Nguyen Thi Lan Accountant · Vietnam

62 → 73 +11

“The mock test report is the closest thing to the real score report I have seen. Same shape, same modules, and it arrived instantly instead of five days later.”
DO Daniel Okonkwo Project manager · Nigeria

66 → 78 +12

“I was practising for hours without improving because I never checked the answer key properly. Being forced to see the model answer after every single question changed how I studied.”
SB Sara Bianchi Architect · Italy

57 → 70 +13

“Timed practice from day one was uncomfortable and completely worth it. On the actual test day nothing about the pacing surprised me.”
BT Bikash Thapa Hospitality supervisor · Nepal

54 → 68 +14

Questions

Everything else, answered

Reading and listening tasks are marked against the answer key using the published PTE rules - one mark per correct blank, negative marking on multiple-answer questions, one mark per correctly ordered adjacent pair, and so on. Writing is scored by a rule-based engine that measures form, spelling, mechanics, lexical variety and how much of the prompt you covered. Speaking is measured from your recording: words per minute, hesitation count and overlap with the reference text. Every raw score is then mapped onto the 10-90 scale through a single published table.

Not identical, and we label it clearly wherever it appears. The real exam uses a trained acoustic model that scores pronunciation at the phoneme level. Our analysis measures pace, pausing, speech continuity and word overlap with the reference text, which tracks fluency closely but is a proxy for pronunciation. Treat it as a reliable guide to your fluency and content, not a guarantee of the exact pronunciation sub-score.

PTE Academic is for university admission and most skilled migration routes. PTE Academic UKVI is the same test taken under UK Home Office secure conditions, required for certain UK visas. PTE Core is for Canadian economic immigration and tests everyday rather than academic English, replacing the essay with a workplace email task. Set your exam in your profile and the practice hub filters itself to the tasks you will actually sit.

Yes. Any built-in laptop microphone or headset works. Your browser will ask for permission the first time you open a speaking task, and the recording stays on your own machine until you submit it. On Chrome and Edge the browser also produces a live transcript, which unlocks the content and pace analysis.

The predicted score is the average of your module scores across your recent attempts, on the same 10-90 scale. It becomes meaningful once you have attempted a spread of task types - a prediction built on five reading questions tells you about reading, not about your overall score. The coverage figure on your dashboard shows how much of the bank you have sampled.

Yes. Institute plans cover multiple learners under one account, with a shared question bank, per-learner analytics and a teacher view that ranks the class by task type. Message us through the support page and we will set it up.
