AI-Powered Scoring for PTE Speaking

PTE Academic is unique among English proficiency tests because it uses fully automated scoring powered by artificial intelligence, not human examiners. Pearson's AI technology evaluates your speaking across multiple dimensions—content (how well you address the task), oral fluency (how smoothly and naturally you speak), and pronunciation (clarity of individual sounds and stress patterns)—then converts these evaluations into the PTE 10-90 score scale. This means your score is determined entirely by how well AI algorithms assess your response, which is fundamentally different from IELTS, Cambridge, or TOEFL. Understanding how Pearson's AI scoring works is crucial for PTE success. ScoreQwik's AI-Powered Scoring feature replicates Pearson's scoring methodology using technology trained on actual PTE test data. When you complete a speaking task, our AI analyzes your response using the same criteria and rubrics Pearson's official system uses, providing you with accurate score predictions on the 0-90 scale. Unlike human feedback that might be subjective, AI scoring is consistent and standardized—you get the same evaluation every time. This allows you to understand exactly how Pearson's system will score your response on test day.
