How many hours should I practise PTE daily?
How many hours should I practise PTE daily?
Two to three focused hours per day is the sweet spot for almost every PTE candidate. More than that and quality drops — your concentration thins, your AI feedback stops landing, you start mechanically clicking through questions instead of learning from them. Five scattered hours of half-attention practice will move your score less than two hours of deliberate, full-attention work.
Within those 2–3 hours, our recommended split is roughly: 40% on your weakest module, 40% rotating across all modules to keep skills fresh, and 20% reviewing your AI feedback from the previous day's attempts. The review step is the one most students skip — and it's the one where actual learning happens.
How often should I take a full mock exam?
Once a week is plenty in the build-up phase. Mocks are exhausting and you need 2–3 days to recover and act on the feedback. Daily mocks lead to burnout and zero skill growth. See Should I take a mock before or after practice?.
