Official PTE Academic AI Practice adds 15 full-length mock tests, 20 sectional tests and more than 1,000 official questions, with instant scoring and feedback aligned to official scoring traits and AI Tutor support. A dashboard tracks scores by skill and progress across sessions. Individual practice questions can be repeated during access, but each full-length and sectional test can be taken only once. Plans include Scored Practice Test at $35.99 a month, Essential at $59.99 a month, Premium at $79.99 a month and Premium Plus at $109.99 a month.

Pearson identifies study, migration and work abroad as reasons people prepare for PTE Academic.
