In that thread we speak English only. Here we discuss how to improve your Reading part of PTE. Reading-Don't worry about attempting every question. Try to give as much correct answers as possible as there are negative markings in here. "I didn't attempt last three questions as I ran out of time but still managed to score 70 in this section." The most points in Reading section you get from "Fill in the blanks". In the multiple answers if you choose 2 right answers and 1 incorrect - you would get 1 point for that question.
Tips for the Multiple-choice, choose single answer exercise: 1. Read the question before the options and decide what do you need to read for. If you're looking for the "writer's main purpose", you're reading for the overall idea or argument. 2. If you don't understand a word in the question, check to see whether it has been explained in the passage. 3. Remember, the options may use synonyms for words in the passage, not the exact words. 4. If you don't know an important word in the text, try to guess its meaning from the context.
