The PTE Academic exam is undergoing some changes, effective August 7, 2025.
Two new question types have been added to the Speaking section: “Summarize Group Discussion” and “Respond to a Situation”. In “Summarize Group Discussion”, test-takers will listen to a 3-minute conversation between three people and summarize the main points in their own words, assessing their Listening and Speaking skills. “Respond to a Situation” requires test-takers to respond to a real-life scenario with a 40-second spoken answer, evaluating their speaking skills.
These changes aim to make the test more authentic and reflective of real-world communication. The exam will now feature 22 question types, with some tasks involving human reviews to ensure the content relevance and originality.
The scoring criteria have also been enhanced, providing more detailed feedback and precise evaluation of language skills. With these updates, test-takers will need to prepare with updated materials and practise tests to excel in the revised exam format.
We wish you good luck in your exam.
