You know the English. The clock is what costs you.
Under a time limit, with a headset on and no one to react to, what comes out is
not what you can do. PTE is marked by a machine, and the half of your speaking score it is
strictest about is not vocabulary — it is delivery. Speak for a minute and see yours
measured.
Three free drills every day — no card needed. The full course covers
Speaking, Reading, Listening and Writing.

what we measure
PTE and PTE Academic are trademarks of Pearson Education Ltd and its
affiliates. How you Talk is an independent practice tool and is not affiliated with,
endorsed by, or approved by Pearson. We measure how you deliver an answer — pace,
hesitations, pauses and filler words — and give you practice against it. We do not predict,
estimate or guarantee an official PTE score, and no practice result here is a PTE result.
What are you aiming for?
The number you need is set by the country or the university, not by the exam —
and it changes what "good enough" means in every drill. Tell us once and the targets follow
you around.
What you get, plainly
Attempts. Delivery drills: 3 a day free, unlimited with a pass. Full written analysis: your first one free, then 60 a month on a plan that includes it.
Scoring. Every score here is a practice estimate, not an official grade.
Refunds. A week pass is not refundable; a month pass is, in its first two weeks, less a week’s price for each week started; a one-time course is not refundable. Full policy.
What each country actually asks for
Most people sitting this exam are not doing it for fun — they need a number for a
visa or a university. The number is usually lower than people think, and the number that gets
you invited is usually higher.
Canada
Express EntryCLB 7 is the Federal Skilled Worker minimum — IELTS 6.0 / PTE 50 in each skill. But CLB 9
(Listening 8.0, Reading/Writing/Speaking 7.0) is worth about 124 language points
against 68 at CLB 7, and 2026 draws have been going out well above CRS 490. The minimum
gets you into the pool; CLB 9 is what gets you out of it.IRCC ↗
Australia
Skilled visas 189 / 190 / 491Competent English (IELTS 6.0 / PTE 50 in each) is the floor and scores zero points.
Proficient (IELTS 7 / PTE 65) is 10 points and Superior (IELTS 8 / PTE 79) is 20 — and in a points
test, twenty points is usually the difference between being invited and waiting.Home Affairs ↗
United Kingdom
Skilled WorkerB1 on the CEFR across all four skills — a far lower bar than Canada or Australia, and
one many candidates over-prepare for. Student routes are usually B2. Check the specific
route: they differ.GOV.UK ↗
Universities
Undergraduate and postgraduateTypically PTE 50–58 for undergraduate and 58–65 for postgraduate, very often
with a minimum in each skill. That per-skill minimum is what catches people: a 7.5
overall with 5.5 in Writing fails an offer requiring 6.0 in each.
Checked August 2026, and these change. Every figure above is a summary
with a link to the authority that sets it — governments revise points tests, band floors and
programme rules without much notice, and a page like this one is exactly where an out-of-date
number does damage. Confirm on the official site before you book anything, and never on the
strength of a conversion chart alone.
