Explicitly planned as an evaluation test for the individuals who have English as their second or unknown dialect, the Pearson Trial of English General is a six-level capability test. While the paper comprises of the perusing, composing, tuning in and talking segments like that of PTE Scholarly, the themes are separated into composed paper and talking test. The test centres on building viable English language correspondence instead of just capacity testing.

Dissimilar to the IELTS and TOEFL, The Scholarly Talking and Composing area on the PTE test assesses the competitor's talking and composing abilities all the while. While the talking area comprises of inquiries dependent on correspondence in a scholastic learning climate, the composing segment inspects the composed content through various modes.

Another kind of the PTE test, the Young learners test is planned to inspect understudies who fall in the 6-13 age section or understudies from pre-A1 up to A2 level according to the Normal European Structure of Reference. This test evaluates the perusing, composing, tuning in and talking abilities of understudies through composed and spoken writings. The essential target is to check through an applicant's capacity to structure the appropriate responses in straightforward language.
