Highlight incorrect word-PTE Listening

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.

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.
