23 October: practice at your level
New Practice now shows its level, and you can choose practice at your level:
- Practice by level: every level-specific set in one place, from beginner (A1) English to IELTS band 8, PTE Superior and OET grade B.
- Level badges on practice sets, such as "IELTS band 7 level" or "PTE Proficient level".
- Daily PTE practice at your level: choose Competent, Proficient, Superior or a mix on daily practice. The essay, Summarize Written Text and Summarize Spoken Text practice pages have the same choice. If you've started a PTE study plan, your plan's level is chosen for you.
23 October: Study Plans for IELTS, PTE and OET
New Our first Study Plans are here. Each plan is 6 weeks long, with 5 short sessions a week, a lesson each week, practice at that level and a weekly check.
