The PTE Express exam is a single, integrated test. It does not have separate sections for each skill. Instead, the questions test multiple skills together in one continuous flow.

The exam assesses four key communication skills: Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. It has 12 question types, with approximately 50 questions in total. The exam duration is approximately 1 hour.

Here is the breakdown of the question types:
