In the PTE Reading – Multiple Choice, Choose Multiple Answers task, start by reading the passage quickly. This helps you understand the main topic and what kind of information to look for in the options. Having a general idea of the content allows you to locate answers faster.
While reading, pay attention to important keywords — such as names, dates, numbers, or unique phrases. These keywords help you connect the passage with the answer choices. Matching them carefully will allow you to eliminate incorrect options and choose the right ones.
Don’t just focus on surface details. Identify the main idea of the passage and the supporting points that strengthen it. Remember, correct answers are based on meaning, not just word matching — so always consider the context.
A stronger vocabulary helps you understand subtle differences in meaning and tone. Learn commonly used words and their synonyms so you can recognize the most suitable options while avoiding misleading ones.
Selecting too many answers can reduce your score. Choose only the options that are clearly supported by the passage. If you’re uncertain about a choice, skip it unless you can find strong evidence for it in the text.
Use an active reading approach — skim for the main idea first, then scan for supporting details. Avoid rereading the whole passage multiple times, as effective time management is key to success in the Reading section.
