STEPS

The purpose of this course is to prepare you to successfully take the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE-A) Test.  A PTE-A test can be used for a range of different purposes from migration to tertiary studies, and as such, test takers require a range of different scores to achieve success. This course will provide a range of opportunities for you to improve your communicative and enabling skills to achieve the score you require.

PTE-A is a globally recognised computer-based English language test that has been designed to accurately measure your English language ability. There are 20 different task types which reflects the wide range of situations and contexts in which test takers will potentially use the language, from professional and government organisations to educational institutions. For instance, one task type will test your comprehension of a lecture by requiring you to re-tell it, while another will test your ability to understand a written passage by writing a summary of the text.

There are three main sections to the test, and it lasts for approximately two hours.
