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

  • Speak fluently and clearly

  • Summarize group conversations accurately

The PTE scoring system will evaluate:

  • Content – Did you capture the key points?

  • Fluency – Was your speech smooth and natural?

  • Pronunciation – Could your speech be easily understood?
