Pearson launches Official PTE AI Practice, helping test takers to build confidence ahead of test day
LONDON – 1 Sept. 2026 - Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L) has launched Official PTE AI Practice, an AI-powered tool that helps people prepare for the Pearson Test of English (PTE). PTE is used by governments, universities and employers worldwide to assess English proficiency for study, work and migration.
Official PTE AI Practice offers full mock tests, skill-section tests and individual practice questions, with immediate AI scoring and feedback on every question.
Combined with targeted guidance from an AI tutor, this helps learners understand precisely what they need to improve, build confidence and accelerate their progress. The tool supports preparation for both PTE Academic and PTE Core.
Why this matters
Millions of people take high-stakes English tests each year as a critical step toward a university place, a job offer or a visa application abroad. Increasingly, they prepare independently, often on mobile devices. Official PTE AI Practice gives learners access to official practice questions, with scoring and feedback aligned to the official scoring traits - giving them greater confidence and a clearer understanding of what to expect on test day.
"Feeling confident on test day is everything for a test taker," said Sharon Hague, president of Pearson English Language Learning. "They want honest feedback, a realistic sense of test standards and a clear understanding of where to focus. We built Official PTE AI Practice so they can concentrate on exactly what they need, with an AI tutor guiding each step and a global leaderboard that lets them see how they compare across the PTE community."
"It is a valuable tool for both teachers and learners," said Maria Gerges Wadiea, an English teacher who prepares students for PTE. "The feedback it provides is detailed and useful, and the AI offers practical tips that help improve performance."
Official PTE AI Practice is now available globally at: PTE AI Practice | Welcome. Test takers can get started for free with two complimentary diagnostic tests, with additional preparation activities available through flexible paid plans.
