# Free PTE Academic practice

You can create a PeakPTE account and explore the product. There is no credit card required on the marketing landing page. Full Premium practice is sold as timed access plans. See [Pricing](/pricing) for durations and features. Practice happens on the learner app at learn.peakpte.com, not inside this marketing site.

## What do you get after sign-up?

You create an account, complete a short onboarding, and land on a dashboard. From there you can:

- Take optional Starting Point (a short placement that recommends a first practice type)
- Practice PTE Academic question types
- See practice estimates and a recommended next type

Premium unlocks Unlimited Practice Questions, progress tracking, AI evaluation, Section Mock Test, and Full Mock test for the plan length you buy.

WhatsApp is required on sign-up. We use it to reach you. Email and password sign-in also work after that.

## How PeakPTE talks about scores

Official PTE Academic scores come from Pearson. PeakPTE reports **practice estimates** with a scoring-model version. Use them to decide what to practice next. Do not treat them as a visa or university result.

We do not invent a confident overall PTE number to sell you a subscription. If a competitor promises official Pearson scores inside a practice app, that is not PeakPTE.

## How do you start?

1. Open Start practicing on peakpte.com.
2. Create an account on the learner app.
3. Finish onboarding.
4. Either take Starting Point or open Practice and pick a question type.
5. When you are ready for Premium access, check [Pricing](/pricing).

If you already have an account, use Login.
