PTE practice tests with instant AI scoring and realistic mock exams
Every speaking, writing, reading and listening response is graded immediately with feedback that tracks the PTE scoring criteria, so you can iterate on the same task within minutes.
Sit complete tests under exam timing, or target one skill or task type with sectional mocks - including the unusual 'create your own mock test' builder.
Thousands of questions modelled on real PTE Academic, UKVI and PTE Core formats, kept updated to match current exam patterns.
Dashboards track scores across attempts and break performance down by task type, highlighting exactly where your score is being lost.

An agentic analytics platform that turns questions into governed, trusted answers
Ask a question in plain language and get a reasoned answer with the SQL, charts and tables behind it, available in the Hex workspace, in Slack and from developer tools.
Write SQL, Python and R side by side in one project, then turn cells into interactive, parameterised data apps and dashboards without a separate BI authoring tool.
Centralise metrics, semantics and corporate definitions so answers stay consistent, and see exactly where the agent lacked grounding so you can fix it.
Run graded, rubric-based test suites against the agent to measure answer quality and catch regressions as your data and context evolve.
