PTE Word List for Academic and Practice

This PTE word list is for academic test takers. It does not include the most challenging PTE academic words, but you should be confident that you will pass the exam if you understand all of them.

This list includes definitions in multiple languages to help students learn PTE words faster and easier by using their native language. You can check if your native language is included among the options. If yes, select it, and then you can see that every word has a definition in your familiar language.

This feature will speed up your job by leveraging your knowledge of your native language. Many visitors like this feature; they learn PTE words through meanings in Hindi, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Vietnamese, etc. Hopefully, you are one of them and get the word list in your native language, too. This feature can save non-English speakers much time building vocabulary in test preparation.

We offer many features and tools to help you master these words, including online practices and printable materials.
