Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of GrowSkills. By creating an account you agree to them.

1. Who we are

GrowSkills is an independent preparation service for the PTE Academic examination, operating from Egypt. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Pearson plc. PTE and PTE Academic are trademarks of Pearson plc. All practice material on this site is written by our own editorial team.

2. What GrowSkills is, and what it is not

GrowSkills is practice. It is not the examination, it does not register you for the examination, and it cannot award you a PTE score.

The scores we show are estimates. They are produced by automated scoring, and they are our best attempt at telling you where you stand. They are not official results, they do not predict your official result, and you should not make a decision that matters — booking a test, accepting a university offer, filing a visa application — on the strength of a number from this site alone.

Where a score depends on judging your speech or your writing, it is produced with the help of automated systems described in our Privacy Policy. Automated scoring is imperfect. If you believe a mark is wrong, every scored question on your report has a way to tell us so, and a person reads it.

3. Your account

You need an account to practise. You must give an email address you control, keep your password to yourself, and tell us promptly if you think somebody else has access. One account is for one person; sharing an account, or reselling access to it, ends it.

You must be 16 or older to hold an account. If you are younger, a parent or guardian must hold it for you.

4. Using the service

Practise as much as you like. Do not attempt to extract our question bank in bulk, whether by hand, by script, or by any automated means; do not attempt to break, overload or probe the service; do not upload anything unlawful; and do not use the service to prepare material that competes with it.

Free accounts have a daily limit on how much scoring we will pay for. You can keep practising past it; your answers are saved and marked the next day.

5. Content

Our practice material, explanations and scoring are ours. You may use them to prepare for your own examination. You may not copy, republish or sell them.

What you submit — your recordings, your written answers, anything you contribute — stays yours. You give us permission to store it, process it, and use it to produce and explain your scores. If you send us a question you remember from a real examination, do not send us the examination's own wording; we do not want it and we will not publish it.

6. Paying for a subscription

Paid plans are described on the pricing page, with the price shown in your own currency before you commit. A subscription gives access for a stated period. It does not renew automatically unless the plan says so at the point of purchase.

Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.

7. Ending it

You may close your account at any time from your settings, and doing so deletes your practice history and your recordings. Records we are required to keep for tax or accounting reasons survive, with your identity removed from them.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Where we do, and where you have paid for time you have not used, we refund it.

8. Availability and liability

We work to keep the service running and your work safe, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the extent the law allows, our liability to you is limited to what you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

9. Changes

We may change these terms. Where a change materially affects you, we will tell you by email before it takes effect. The date this version came into force is shown at the top of this page.

10. Law, and reaching us

These terms are governed by the laws of the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the courts of Egypt have jurisdiction.
