About PTE & PTEson
What is PTE, and why we built PTEson for it.
The Pearson Test of English is a computer-scored English exam used by universities, migration authorities, and visa programs in 14+ countries. PTEson is the AI practice platform we built to help students prepare for it, without paying for tutors they don't need.
Read the full guide →Accepted by 3,500+ institutions across 14 countries.
Universities and migration programs across Australia, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Germany and the US all accept PTE, including Australian PR and Canadian Express Entry.
Why AI scoring is the right way to prepare.
PTE is graded by an algorithm. Human tutors score differently; their feedback is well-meant but miscalibrated. PTEson uses the same rubric: fluency, pronunciation, grammar, content. The feedback that moves your score.
Free forever for per-question practice.
Every question type, every module, no daily limit, no credit card. Pro unlocks mock tests, section tests and analytics. We don't paywall the basics.
