Why PTE Academic Society

A plan, feedback and someone to ask

  1. 01

    Current

    Materials rebuilt for the post-August-2025 format, including Summarize Group Discussion and Respond to a Situation. We publish the real band numbers, per section, with the date they applied from.

  2. 02

    Bilingual

    Coaching, materials and support in Spanish and English. Exam terminology stays in English, because that is what appears on screen on test day.

  3. 03

    Targeted

    Coaching aimed at a named band, not a general course. The diagnostic establishes the gap; the plan closes it; Speaking and Writing get the weight the new bands give them.

  4. 04

    Taught, not automated

    Real teachers marking real work. On the seven question types where Pearson now has a person mark the content, your feedback comes from a person too.

How coaching works

Diagnose the gap. Close it. Sit the exam.

  1. Book a free diagnostic

    We establish where you are in each of the four sections, against the band your visa or admission needs. It commits you to nothing.

  2. See your gap, section by section

    Your scores laid against the target, so you know which section costs you the band, and by how many points.

  3. Follow a plan aimed at your band

    Sessions and practice weighted to the sections you are short in. Speaking and Writing carry the highest thresholds, so they usually carry the most work.

  4. Get your work marked by a teacher

    Written and spoken responses marked by a person until you sit the exam, with feedback you can act on in the next attempt.

Example diagnostic

Target: Proficient

  • Listening: 71, target 58, met.
  • Reading: 66, target 59, met.
  • Writing: 62, target 69, 7 short.
  • Speaking: 58, target 76, 18 short.
Gold marks the Proficient threshold for each section. Here, Speaking is 18 short: that is where the plan starts.

What changed

Preparing for the exam as it is today.

  • 01

    The bands stopped being flat.

    Superior English is Listening 69, Reading 70, Writing 85, Speaking 88. Not a flat 79. Proficient is 58 / 59 / 69 / 76. Not a flat 65.

  • 02

    Seven question types are now marked by a person as well.

    Describe Image, Summarize Spoken Text and Write Essay among them: a person marks the content alongside the machine. And Pearson scores memorised or templated responses zero for content. Templates alone stopped being enough.

  • 03

    Two question types are new.

    Summarize Group Discussion and Respond to a Situation. Our materials were rebuilt to include both.
