PTE Core email practice with a timer and word counter

Choose one of three situations, cover its three points and write an email in 9 minutes. The current Pearson task asks for 80–120 words. The prompts here are original practice material, not actual exam questions.

Write an email in 9 minutes

Choose a prompt and use the timer when you are ready. Get AI feedback on your email before signup. Your draft is sent only when you request feedback; guest results are kept for 7 days.

Ask a course organiser for a change

  • Explain why you cannot attend the booked workshop
  • Ask about another date
  • Request confirmation of any change in cost

After writing: Is your request clear enough for the organiser to act on?

Changing the prompt resets the timer but keeps your draft.

What makes an email useful?

Identify the reader and purpose first. Include enough detail for the recipient to understand the situation and know what to do next. A polite request to a manager needs a different tone from arranging a weekend with a friend.

After writing, locate the sentence that addresses each requested point. If you cannot find one, revise before adding extra background. Use the word counter as an estimate; follow the actual test screen’s instructions and counter on test day.

Does this page give me an AI score?

You can request AI feedback on the email you write here before signing up. Feedback explains task coverage, email conventions, organisation and language; it is not an official PTE score. Guest feedback is kept for 7 days. Use the save button after feedback to create an account and keep your email and feedback for 30 days. Guest evaluation limits and shared capacity apply.

Is the minimum 80 or 100 words?

Pearson’s current Write Email instructions specify 80–120 words and 9 minutes. Checked 17 September 2026. Aim to answer the whole prompt inside that range rather than add filler to reach a larger number.
