When PTE practice happens: busiest hours and days by country, in local time

Busiest hour and day by country (local time)

Share of visits by time of day (local time)

Share of visits by day of the week (local time)

A share is shown only with at least 20 visitor-days in it and 20 in the rest of the row; when one would be hidden, another is hidden too, so it can't be worked out from the others.

How this data was collected

• Sample: 1,313 visitor-days · 10 October 2026 to 20 October 2026.
• Visits to practice pages (/task, /item, /mock, /practice) on 11 days, by the visitor's country. These are page visits, not student accounts.
• A country is shown only if it had at least 20 different visitors on one day.
• Visitor ids change every Sydney day by design, so the sample is counted in visitor-days (one visitor on one Sydney day).
• Every figure on this page is based on at least 20 different visitors; smaller groups are not shown. Only totals are published; page visits carry no account or name.
• The report is about when the practice pages are used. It does not show any test questions or question text.
• Recalculated every week from new practice; the update date above shows the latest run.

Questions students ask

When do people practise PTE most?

Visitors from India use RealPTE's practice pages most between 12:00 and 13:00 local time (9% of visit hours) and most often on Tuesday, in practice-page visits over 11 days.

Is this in my local time?

Yes. Each visit is converted from the server's clock to the visitor's country's time zone (India IST, Nepal NPT, Pakistan PKT …); Australia uses Sydney time.

What is counted?

Visits to RealPTE's practice and mock test pages, not accounts: a visitor counts once per day and once per hour of that day they were on those pages. RealPTE does not link a visitor's days together.
