Pearson Launches Official PTE AI Practice, Helping Test Takers To Build Confidence And Readiness Ahead Of Test Day

              
Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L) has launched Official PTE AI Practice, its official AI-powered tool that helps test takers prepare for the Pearson Test of English (PTE) exam needed to study, work and live abroad.

Test takers are able to complete mock tests and individual questions and receive immediate scoring and feedback and then get targeted guidance from an AI tutor that shows them precisely where to improve. The tool supports preparation for both PTE Academic and PTE Core.

Why this matters

Millions of people take high-stakes English tests each year as a critical step toward a university place, a job offer or a visa application abroad. Increasingly, they prepare on their own time, on their mobile devices. With Official PTE AI Practice, learners prepare with official practice questions and receive scoring and feedback aligned to the official scoring traits, giving them greater confidence and a clearer understanding of what to expect on test day.

"Feeling confident on test day is everything for a test taker," said Sharon Hague, president of Pearson English Language Learning. "They want honest feedback, a realistic sense of test standards and a clear understanding of where to focus. We built Official PTE AI Practice so they can concentrate on exactly what they need, with an AI tutor guiding each step and a global leaderboard that lets them see how they compare across the PTE community."

In India, the need is especially significant. Ministry of External Affairs data cited by ICEF Monitor shows that more than 1.2 million Indian students were enrolled in higher education overseas in 2025, underscoring India’s continued importance in global student and talent mobility. As more learners pursue international study, work and migration pathways, trusted English preparation is becoming essential to help them move forward with confidence.

"As English becomes central to global talent mobility, proficiency in the language is often the bridge between aspiration and opportunity. Official PTE AI Practice gives Indian test takers official questions, instant scoring and targeted feedback to prepare with clarity and confidence," said Prabhul Ravindran, Regional Director, English Language Learning, Pearson South Asia.

"It is a valuable tool for both teachers and learners," said Maria Gerges Wadiea, an English teacher who prepares students for PTE. "The feedback it provides is detailed and useful, and the AI offers practical tips that help improve performance."

PTE AI Practice is available now in India and China, with further markets from Q3 2026. Official PTE AI Practice is free to start, with additional preparation activities available through flexible paid plans
