How the bank is organised

Speaking and Writing covers Speaking (2,101), Writing (601) items across all nine task types. Reading covers five task types and Listening eight.

Choose a task type and a set size to drill it on its own, with the same timers and scoring as in the full test.

  • Listening and speaking prompts play from their audio files; a prompt whose file is not ready yet is read by your browser's built-in voice.
  • Speaking tasks need a microphone and a current browser.

Every topic and skill, with counts

Counted from the live question database. Only questions available to practise are included.

Questions

What does “Any two sections” mean?

You choose which two of Speaking and Writing, Reading and Listening to unlock when you buy. Full access covers all three.

Can I try the bank before buying?

Yes. With a free account you can practise up to 30 PTE questions from the bank. After that, a plan unlocks the sections it covers for its full access period.

How long does question-bank access last?

Question-bank access lasts 120 days (240 days for an AP subject's bank) from the day it opens. SAT, GRE, GMAT, PTE and the AP banks open after payment. ACT, IELTS, TOEFL and TR-YOS plans open when every section they cover has questions, straight away if they do now. It is a fixed window, not a subscription: it does not renew and you are never charged again automatically.

Can I get a refund?

Practice tests, question banks and AI Tutor time are digital content. You can ask for a refund of a digital product you have not used within 14 days of the payment date. A product counts as used once any practice test in the pack has been started, any question in a paid section of the question bank has been opened, or any second of AI Tutor time has been used; a used product is not refunded. If you are charged twice by mistake, contact us and the duplicate charge is refunded.
