What is the new trail question in pte

we wanted to let you know that PTE Academic and PTE Academic UKVI tests taken between 11 December and 31 January may contain one or two new question types in the Speaking section that test takers have not seen or read about before. This is because PTE is trialing some new questions to learn about how they work in a test.

These new questions are unscored and will not contribute your clients’ score in any way. Your clients’ responses will help inform important test research that helps us to develop even better, more innovative PTE tests.
