Prep resources

There's no single right answer, but an efficient order looks roughly like this:

1. First read through the question-type guide once for each type's format and scoring criteria — knowing the rules before you practise beats grinding blind
2. Prioritize high-weight types — in Speaking, RA and RS carry the most weight; in Writing / Listening, WFD, FIB-RW and FIB-L are also high — the same practice time on these gives better returns
3. As you practise, flag (red / orange / yellow / green) the questions you keep getting wrong or aren't sure about, and periodically use the filter to review only the flagged ones
4. For speaking / writing types, practise with AI scoring on and target the per-dimension feedback (pronunciation / fluency / content / grammar…) rather than just watching the total
5. For reading / listening multiple-choice types, prioritize volume and get familiar with common distractor patterns

• Practice — work through questions by type, with flags, filter-by-flag, AI scoring and practice history
• Word list — save words you looked up while practising, with pronunciation and a spelling quiz
• Open any audio-based question type from the practice page to enter Walkman mode and train your ear during commutes / walks

• Pearson's official site, pearsonpte.com — the first-hand source for registration, ID requirements, the privacy policy and other official information
