As a certified PTE Master Trainer who takes the exam regularly to give students first-hand, practical insights, I booked the first available test slot at 8:00 AM in Hyderabad — just to bring you the freshest, most accurate update possible.
? What you’ll learn in this lecture:
✅ The new total exam duration and what changed
