Master the New PTE Task: Summarize Group Discussion (SGD)
Starting August 2025, the PTE Academic introduces a new task that reflects real-life academic settings: Summarize Group Discussion (SGD). This task tests your listening and speaking skills in a more natural, practical way.
Whether you’re a student or professional preparing for study or work abroad, this new task is your chance to show how well you can understand conversations and communicate clearly.
What is Summarize Group Discussion?
In this task, you will:
Listen to a discussion between three speakers
The conversation will last up to 3 minutes
The speakers could be students, professors, or university staff
They will talk about a university-related or academic topic
You need to summarize the discussion in your own words
You will get 2 minutes to speak your answer
This is not a simple question-and-answer task. It requires active listening, note-taking, and clear speech.
Skills Assessed
The SGD task checks how well you can:
Understand different speakers
Identify main ideas and opinions
