PTE Reading practice tests
Five task types under one timer — pacing is everything.
Reading practice tests
Each test mirrors the reading section on the latest 2026 PTE Academic — 5 tasks, ~24 min, scored on the official 10–90 scale. All 5 tests are free.
Reading is a race against a single section clock. The trap is spending too long on re-ordering and running out of time on the quick fill-in-the-blanks that score just as much.
How it's scored
Your Reading score comes from multiple-choice, re-ordering and fill-in-the-blank tasks (some also feed Writing).
