Multiple Choice, Single Answer-PTE Reading

Student writing notes and reading tablet near a window.

For this task, you will be given a certain text and you must select a single response that is accurately suitable to the text. 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?

  • The question under this task will require you to complete a sentence or an idea with the option you select. Read the prompt you receive very carefully and determine the meaning of the text. 
  • Once you have read it, you will be able to realize what kind of option needs to be selected. It is important to make a quick note of all the important words you notice in the prompt as well. 
  • Quickly skim through the options before you start reading the prompt, and make a decision as to which seem most likely to be the answer. Then, confirm or deny it with more information from the text. 
  • If you are unsure of what the answer is, select the one you think is most likely to suit the text provided to you. 
  • Check all the options thoroughly before you move on and submit your answer. Do not choose the first option that makes sense to you, because all options can seem like they are correct. 
  • Answer completely based on the text provided. Do not attempt to answer based on your own personal opinions or knowledge. 

✅ Scoring

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

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

Re-order Paragraphs-PTE Reading

Re-order Paragraphs-PTE Reading

Sunlight shines through window into cozy study space.

In the PTE Reorder Paragraphs task, you will around 4 or 5 texts or sentences appear on screen and you must arrange these sentences into a correct and logical order.

✅ Strategies and tips for Re-order Paragraphs

  • Before you start thinking about re-ordering the texts, quickly skim through each sentence and gather the main message of the entire passage. Note down some of the key words and phrases that you notice. 
  • Knowing the overall purpose of the text will allow you to logically place each text in the order that they are supposed to go in.
  • Go through the entire paragraph to find out what sentence is a stand-alone sentence. This means that it makes complete sense without the need of other sentences and does not necessarily contain any links to other sentences. 
  • This is called the topic sentence and usually is the first sentence of the paragraph. 
  • Find similar words and phrases that you can see are connected and place them together. Usually, sentences that have years or dates come in the beginning. 
  • Remember that if the sentence is beginning with a “but” or an “and”, then it cannot be the first sentence of the paragraph. 
  • This can be a difficult task because it is challenging to pin point exactly which sentence goes where in an entire paragraph. 
  • However, with enough practice of the re-order paragraph questions in past PTE papers, you can get used to the kind of questions that are asked. 

✅ Scoring

Your ability to understand the organisation and cohesion of an academic work will be assessed as part of your Re-order Paragraphs response. 

You get the most points for this question type if all of the text boxes are in the correct sequence. Partial credit scoring is used if one or more text boxes are in the wrong order. 

✅ Notes

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