The Pearson Test of English (PTE) is designed to assess the English proficiency of non-native speakers wanting to study or work in English-speaking countries, with three versions: Academic, General, and Young Learners. The PTE Academic includes modules for speaking, writing, reading, and listening, each with specific question formats and time allocations. Preparation tips for achieving a high score include understanding the test format, focusing on weak areas, practicing with mock tests, and seeking help from expert trainers.
