Show HN: PTEcorepractice – Free PTE Core Practice with Instant AI Scoring for PR

https://ptecorepractice.com
1•zzx•2h ago
PTEcorepractice is a practice platform built specifically for the PTE Core exam used for Canadian immigration (IRCC accepted programs).

What it does:

- 700+ real-style PTE Core questions across 12 task types (Speaking, Writing, Reading, Listening)

- Instant AI scoring calibrated to Pearson’s rubric, including pronunciation and fluency feedback

- CLB-focused reporting with an estimated CLB level for each skill and a built-in CLB calculator

- Free daily practice (no credit card required), with optional Pro plan for full access

Why I built it:

When I was preparing my own Canada PR, I couldn’t find a PTE Core practice tool that felt close enough to the real exam. Question banks were messy, “AI scoring” didn’t match official results, and it was hard to see whether I was actually moving toward my CLB targets.

So I built the tool I wished existed: realistic PTE Core questions only, AI scoring tuned to official guidelines, and CLB-oriented analytics instead of vague “percent correct”.

Who it’s for:

- Canada PR applicants choosing PTE Core instead of IELTS/CELPIP

- Test takers who want faster, machine-scored feedback

- People who prefer practicing on desktop or mobile with structured tasks

I’d love feedback on:

- How close the difficulty feels to the real PTE Core

- Whether the AI scoring and CLB estimates match your actual score report

- Any missing features or task types that would make this more useful for serious test takers

You can start a free practice test directly from the homepage.
