How is New Short PTE Academic Advantageous?

As we all knew that, PTE academic has been shortened recently and there were multiple questions from students like whether the new shortened version is advantageous to students or not. But we are here to clarify all the doubts and explain how the new PTE is advantageous.

Benefits of New Short PTE Academic:

1.     Less duration

An obvious advantage of the new PTE is the test duration. Almost 1 hour is reduced which means a good amount of time is being saved for the student. But most of the students feel reducing the exam duration can make the time management tough in turn the exam can be tougher.

2.     Fewer Questions

The fact that the exam duration is reduced has also made Pearson’s team reduce the number of questions. So it is clear that fewer questions and less exam duration are helpful as PTE exam preparation tips.

Previously, the PTE test used to have 70-82 questions. Now the count has been reduced to 52-64 questions. To crack any test, spending a good amount of time practicing is important. In such cases, fewer questions to practice are also advantageous for students.

3.     No Break

A 10-minute optional break is removed as a part of the new changes in the PTE test. And how is that advantageous? The new PTE test is a 2-hour test. If looked at that carefully, in 2 hours of the intense exam, taking a 10-minute break will give a pause to the flow of quick answering.
