Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer-PTE Listening

Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer-PTE Listening

For this task, you will hear a certain recording and you must select all the responses that are accurately suitable to that recording’s content. There is always more than one correct response for the Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer PTE task. 

To select a response, you must simple click on checkbox next to the response. 

✅ Strategies and Tips

  • The first thing you need to do is know how this task is scored. You gain a point for every correct response that is ticked and lose a point for every incorrect response. 
  • This means that it is not a good strategy to select all the options available, as it will usually just give you a score of zero.
  • Time management is of great importance in this task as well. In the few seconds you have before the recording plays, read the question given to you and prepare to take notes. 
  • If you select as you listen, you will miss out on some statements because they are not being told in the same order as the questions.
  • Words or phrases that you hear in the recording might also be in the options but that does not mean they are the correct options. Be careful to focus on meaning rather than similarity of words between the recording and options. 
  • PTE listening multiple choice, multiple answer practice must include a lot of questions from previous tests as that can help you get familiar with the task.

✅ Scoring

Your ability to analyse, understand, and evaluate a short audio or video recording on an academic subject is assessed in the Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers section. 

If all of your answers are correct, you will obtain the highest possible score for this question type. 

Partial scoring will be applied if a certain part of your answer is correct but the other is incorrect. 

Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer is one of few PTE tasks where there is negative marking. Hence, it becomes very important that you are confident in the responses you give. 

✅ Notes

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

Multiple Choice, Single Answer-PTE Listening

Multiple Choice, Single Answer-PTE Listening

Clear glass of water sits next to tablet and documents.

For this task, you will listen to a recording and you must select a single response that is accurately suitable to the content of the recording. 

Unlike the Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer task where there are multiple responses possible, there is only one correct answer in this task. 

To select a response, you must simple click on checkbox next to the response. 

✅ How do you respond to this task?

  • Skim through the question being asked and the options available to you. The question will tell you exactly what you need to be listening for when the audio starts playing.  
  • In the above example, the question asks “what is the lecture mainly about?” So, you know that you have to look for the main point of the lecture rather than figuring out a specific supporting detail. 
  • The question can be specific, such as “what does the professor say needs to be done about overpopulation?” which mean you will have to pay attention to the supporting details. 
  • If you submit no answer, you will get no points. So, make sure to submit an answer, even if you are unsure if it’s correct.

✅ Scoring

Your ability to analyse, understand, and evaluate a short audio or video recording on an academic subject is assessed in the Multiple Choice, Single Answer section.

You will either get a correct score or in incorrect score.

✅ Notes

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