Stuck at 78, retaking blind? Know your real PTE score for Australia.
PTE is AI-scored, and it doesn't flatter you. Neither do we.
Most candidates practise hard and still get a shock on test day — because most tools hand out inflated scores to keep you happy. AlmiPTE is built to tell you the truth, even when it's lower than you hoped, so you walk into the real exam prepared, not overconfident.
The Australian government accepts PTE Academic for student and skilled visas. For skilled migration (subclasses 189/190/491) PTE Academic sets the English levels that earn points: Competent English (Listening 47, Reading 48, Writing 51, Speaking 54) meets eligibility but scores 0 points; Proficient English (65 in each component) earns 10 points; Superior English (Listening 58, Reading 59, Writing 69, Speaking 76, for tests on or after 7 August 2025) earns 20 points.

PTE is scored on very specific tasks — AI-scored, with human expert review on selected Speaking and Writing responses. AlmiPTE covers all four modules, using material written from scratch to match how it's graded:
Speaking
Read Aloud, Repeat Sentence, Describe Image, Retell Lecture, Answer Short Question. Honest AI feedback on content and fluency.
Writing
Summarize Written Text and Write Essay, with structure tracking that flags the format rules that cost the most marks (one-sentence limits, word counts).
Reading
Multiple choice, reorder paragraphs, fill in the blanks. Auto-scored objectively for instant results.
Listening
Summarize Spoken Text, Fill in the Blanks, Highlight Correct Summary, Write from Dictation, Highlight Incorrect Words, with clear original audio.
Full, timed mock tests
Fatigue and pacing over a two-hour exam are quiet score-killers. AlmiPTE runs complete back-to-back timed mocks, so the real test feels like a room you've already sat in many times.
