The full PTE Academic format as it stands in 2026 — three parts, 22 scored task types, about two hours — and which tasks carry the most weight for your score.

These two task types appear more often than any other and feed three of your four skill scores. Most students practise them wrongly.

The PTE 10-90 scale, what each band represents in practice, and why chasing a round number like 79 is often the wrong target for your situation.

One repeatable order of information that works for bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, maps, process diagrams and photographs — without a memorised script.

On 7 August 2025 Pearson added two speaking tasks and put human reviewers on the Content score for seven question types. Here is what that changed for template-based preparation.

Pearson added both on 7 August 2025. Neither can be templated, and both reward a skill that most PTE preparation actively trains out of students.

Your score report says more than four numbers. Here is how to read it properly, what the Skills Profile is for, and how to turn both into a study plan.

One paragraph plan that handles agree-disagree, advantages-disadvantages, problem-solution and discuss-both-views, within 200 to 300 words and 20 minutes.

A PTE Academic score report is valid for two years — but institutions can set their own expiry, and the date that matters is not always the one you expect.

The task with the strictest rule in the test, and the one most often failed on a technicality rather than on English. How to get it right every time.

Where you can sit PTE Academic in Bangladesh, what it costs in 2026, and how to book a slot without losing a month to a full calendar.

Reading is the shortest part of the test and the one students most often run out of time on. A per-question budget and five task-specific tactics.

Four different tasks share the name. They test different things, they are scored differently, and the preparation for each is not interchangeable.

It scores both Listening and Writing, it comes last when you are tired, and it rewards a memory technique almost nobody practises deliberately.

Fifty to seventy words after a lecture you hear once. The task is won in how you take notes, not in how you write.

For students who understand written English well but lose the thread the moment someone speaks. Eight weeks of structured listening, with what to do each week.

The errors we correct most often at our Dhanmondi centre — and most of them are habits carried over from school English, not gaps in ability.

Check-in, the locker, the noisy room, the order of the parts, and the small things that unsettle first-time candidates at Dhaka test centres.

An honest comparison for test-takers in Dhaka — format, scoring, speed of results, and the kinds of candidate each test genuinely suits.

Three different tests share the PTE name. Booking the wrong one costs you the fee and the weeks, so this is worth five minutes before you pay.

How English proficiency converts into points for skilled migration, why per-skill minimums matter more than your overall score, and where to find the current numbers.

How the English requirement works for a student visa application, the two separate requirements most applicants miss, and how to time your test around an intake.

If three attempts have produced three similar scores, more practice is not the answer. Work through these six questions instead.
