There will be three questions per part

Each task has two parts. Part 1 requires you to read a passage and then select the correct answer from four choices. Part 2 requires you to write a response to the passage.

The test consists of three passages, each followed by four multiple-choice questions. You must choose one answer for each question. For example, if there were four possible answers for Question 1, you would pick one answer for each question, making a total of 12 answers.

Each passage has 4 questions. You should read the passage carefully before answering the questions. If you are unsure of what the correct answer is, you may refer back to the passage itself.

The first question asks you to identify the main idea of the passage. The second question asks you to explain the meaning of the word(s) used in the passage. The third question asks you to analyze the structure of the passage. The fourth question asks you to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the passage.

The first question asks what the main idea of the paragraph is. You should look at the sentence before the one underlined and try to determine if it supports the main idea. If it does, then use that sentence to answer the question. If it doesn’t support the main idea, then you should choose another sentence from the paragraph.

The second question asks you to identify the keywords in the paragraph. Look for verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and other important parts of speech.

The passage has two parts

The passage has two parts. Part one is about the importance of keywords. Keywords are important because they help readers understand what the passage is about. For example, if you were reading a passage about the history of the United States, the keyword “United States” would help you know what the passage is about because it tells you that the passage is about the history of the U.S. If you didn’t know what the passage was about, you wouldn’t know which keywords to use.

In part two, you will read a short story. You should pay attention to the details in the story. Pay attention to the characters, setting, plot, and theme. When you read the story, think about why the author wrote the story. What did he want you to learn? Why does the author write stories?

The first question asks you to identify the main character in the story. Think about what makes him or her unique. How would you describe the main character? What kind of person is he or she? What qualities does he or she possess? Does the main character seem realistic?

You have 90 minutes to complete each section

In part one, there will be three passages with four options per passage. There will also be questions at the end of each passage. These questions will ask you to choose the best option among the four given choices.

The test format has been designed to ensure that you get maximum marks from the test. Each question will have 4 options. You will be able to use the answer sheet provided to mark your answers.

There are four sections in the test. Each section will take around 30 minutes to complete. You will be allowed to use the answer sheets provided to mark your answers for each section. Each question has four parts finally, Part D asks you to explain why you chose the answer you did.

PTE Test Format

The PTE Test Format is designed to help you focus on what’s really important in the passage, rather than spending too much time trying to memorize every detail. In addition, the questions are designed to be challenging enough to keep you engaged without being too difficult.

The test has three sections: Reading Comprehension (RC), Writing & Language (WL), and Quantitative Reasoning (QR). Each section contains 10 multiple-choice questions. For RC, there are four passages, which contain five questions each. There are two types of questions: a short answer and a long answer. Short answers require you to choose one word from a list of choices. Long answers require you to write a paragraph explaining why you chose the correct answer. WL requires you to read a sentence and then select the best option among four possible responses. QR consists of two parts: one question asks you to solve a problem using numbers; the other requires you to use formulas and graphs.

The test is timed, so you must work quickly. If you take too much time to think about the questions, you could lose points. However, if you rush through the questions without thinking, you might miss some important details.
