Fill in the Blanks-PTE Listening

Fill in the Blanks-PTE Listening

For the PTE Listening Fill in the Blanks task, you will see a transcript of a recording appearing on your screen with blanks or gaps in them. 

You must fill in those gaps with words that fit the sentence appropriately after listening to the recording. 

This task is part of the Listening section of your PTE Academic test which scores you on your listening and writing ability. 

✅ Strategies and tips for Fill in the Blanks

  • Before the recording begins, quickly skim through each sentence and gather the main message of the entire passage, ignoring the gaps. 
  • Note down some of the key words and phrases that you notice. Knowing the overall purpose of the text will allow you to recognize a word even though you might have not heard it or misheard it.
  • Make notes rather than answering as you hear the recording. Write down the word that you notice is missing in the text in legible handwriting so you can copy it as your response at the end. 
  • You need 100% of your attention on the recording if you want to do well in this task, because it will not be repeated. Especially when you reach a part of the audio that has a blank. 
  • Pay extra attention to blanks that are close to each other to make sure you don’t miss the second blank while focusing hard on the first one. 
  • Maintain grammatical sense. If the sentence ends with a full stop then the blank right after it will start with a capital letter. Make sure your response makes sense in terms of tenses. 

✅ Scoring

Fill in the Blanks is a test that assesses your ability to listen for missing words in an audio and write them into the given transcription. 

Scoring is mainly done based on the content, each word that you enter correctly increases your score.

✅ Notes

  • This task only scores you based on listening and writing; your reading and speaking scores are not affected by this task.

Highlight incorrect word-PTE Listening

PTE Sample Test Free Practice Online | One Australia

For the PTE listening Highlight Incorrect Word task, you will see a transcript of a recording on your screen. 

Some words in that transcript are incorrect and do not match with the audio. You must identify the incorrect word which is different from what is being said.  

To select the word you think is incorrect, you must simply click on that word. 

✅ How do you respond to this task?

  • Skim through the transcription once quickly in the time before the recording begins. If any key idea or word jumps out at you, then have that in mind when you listen to the recording. 
  • Once you know the general idea of the spoken text, eliminate any words you think do not fit under that topic. 
  • This is one listening task where it might be more beneficial to look at the screen rather than make notes. Move through the text as the audio is playing and as soon as you hear a word that does not match, make the correction quickly. 
  • Based on previous questions, you can be sure that a grammatical word is hardly ever the incorrect word.

✅ Scoring

  1. Your ability to listen for and highlight the words that are different between a recording and a transcription is evaluated in your response to the Highlight Incorrect Words task.
  2. Each word that you select is given either a correct or an incorrect score. You will obtain the maximum score points for this question type if all of the selected words are correct. Partial credit is given if one or more picked words are wrong.
  3. One point is subtracted for each incorrect option selected, while one point is awarded for each correct option. Make sure you’re comfortable with your decisions.

✅ Notes

  • This task only scores you based on listening and reading; your writing and speaking scores are not affected by this task.
