Pearson

Pearson is yet another organization that produces a large number of ESL textbooks used in the classroom. Together with ESL classroom materials, the corporation created the Pearson PTE exam, which is a test that many ESL students take before studying or working in an English-speaking country. It is now the world's largest education company and was formerly the world's largest book publisher. Pearson combined its Penguin Books division with German company Bertelsmann in 2013. In 2015, the company announced a shift to a strictly educational focus.

If you wish to take the PTE, you must pass a listening component of the exam, which typically takes 45 minutes to an hour to complete. While Pearson's website doesn't have much free material to assist you to prepare for the test, they do offer an offline practice test with audio files and worksheets to help you practice your listening, reading, and writing skills. If you need more listening practice for the PTE exam, you can take a variation of the online practice exam. Costs range from $9.99 to $59.99 depending on the edition of the test, but each one will assess your listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities.
