Take a full AI-scored PTE Core mock test covering all 4 modules: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening. Timed, realistic, and free. No signup required. Used for Canadian immigration (Express Entry, PNP).
A PTE Core test is not one paper. It is a single sitting of 52 to 67 tasks drawn from 19 task types, delivered in three timed parts: Speaking and Writing, then Reading, then Listening. Each audio clip plays once and the clock keeps running. Your report shows an overall score plus four skills scores, Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing, each on a 10 to 90 scale. The overall score is not an average of those four skills, and integrated tasks such as Answer Short Question feed two skills at once.
Pearson times the test by part, not by task, so you cannot bank time in an easy part and spend it later.
| Part | Time | Question types | Skills scored |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part 1: Speaking and Writing | 50–65 minutes | 7 scored types, plus an unscored Personal Introduction (25 seconds to prepare, 30 to record) | Speaking and Writing |
| Part 2: Reading | 27–37 minutes | 5 question types | Reading |
| Part 3: Listening | 22–37 minutes | 7 question types | Listening, plus Writing on integrated items |
That gives the 19 task types Pearson describes, and the three parts add up to roughly 100 to 140 minutes.
Part 1, Speaking and Writing: Read Aloud 6–7, Repeat Sentence 10–12, Describe Image 3–4, Respond to a Situation 2–4, Answer Short Question 5–6, Summarize Written Text 1–2, Write Email 2–3.
Part 2, Reading: Fill in the Blanks (reading) 5–6, Multiple Choice Multiple Answers 1–2, Reorder Paragraphs 2–3, Fill in the Blanks (drag and drop) 4–5, Multiple Choice Single Answer 1–2.
Part 3, Listening: Summarize Spoken Text 1–2, Multiple Choice Multiple Answers 1–2, Fill in the Blanks 2–3, Multiple Choice Single Answer 1–2, Select Missing Word 1–2, Highlight Incorrect Words 1–2, Write from Dictation 3–4.

| One sitting of 52 to 67 tasks across all three parts | Module mocks you sit one at a time, in the real format |
| Timed by part, every audio clip played once | A practice timer per section. Pearson does not publish a time limit for individual Core tasks, so treat our timers as training aids |

What the mock cannot do is give you an official score: our AI grading helps you see where you stand, while Pearson scores the real test with its own engine and trained raters.
One number tells you very little, so read your results in this order.
For Express Entry, IRCC converts each PTE Core skill score to a CLB level. Federal Skilled Worker and Canadian Experience Class at TEER 0 or 1 need CLB 7 in every ability; TEER 2 or 3 need CLB 5. These are Pearson's published bands for the first official language:
| CLB | Speaking | Listening | Reading | Writing | Points per ability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 68–75 | 60–70 | 60–68 | 69–78 | 4 |
| 8 | 76–83 | 71–81 | 69–77 | 79–87 | 5 |
| 9 | 84–88 | 82–88 | 78–87 | 88–89 | 6 |
| 10 and above | 89+ | 89+ | 88+ | 90+ | 6 |
Each ability at CLB 7 or above earns 4, 5 or 6 Express Entry points, and the first official language is capped at 24 points. A second official language at CLB 5 or above adds a flat 4 points.
Yes. Every mock on this site is free, with no signup, no email address and no card. You can sit the same module mock as often as you like, and your progress is saved in your own browser.
A full test is 52 to 67 tasks. Pearson times it by part: Speaking and Writing 50 to 65 minutes, Reading 27 to 37 minutes, Listening 22 to 37 minutes, which adds up to roughly 100 to 140 minutes of testing. Sit all three parts in one sitting.
Yes, all 19 PTE Core task types in the same three parts. Our Listening mocks also include Highlight Correct Summary as extra practice; that is a PTE Academic task, not a Core one, so it will not appear on test day.
No. Only a Pearson score report converts officially to CLB. Treat the mock as a diagnosis: it shows which task types are costing you marks, and you then check your skill scores against the CLB bands above.
Timed first, because time pressure is what most candidates underestimate. Then review the same mock untimed and task by task, so you can tell a speed problem apart from a skill problem.
There are 25 module mocks in total: 10 for Speaking, 5 for Writing, 5 for Reading and 5 for Listening. Every single task type also has its own practice page.
Drill the task types your mock flagged on our practice pages , Read Aloud, Answer Short Question or Write from Dictation — then read the PTE Core tips guide, check your target in the CLB guide and return to the Speaking or Listening hub for another mock.
