Improve your score with real exam-style Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers practice that builds confidence and sharpens your test-taking skills.
Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers is a Listening task where you hear a 40–90 second recording (50–90 in PTE Core) and select every correct option, as more than one may apply. It assesses your Listening skill across 2–3 questions in PTE Academic and 1–2 in PTE Core, scored on partial credit.
You gain a point for each correct option and lose one for each wrong pick — never below zero. Listen carefully and only select answers the recording clearly supports.

Follow the recording and grasp its details.
Catch what the speaker implies, not only states.
Pick every right option and no wrong ones — wrong picks cost you.
Learn to catch every key detail in the audio and carefully evaluate each option to select all correct answers.
Before starting, understand what the question asks fully. This helps you focus only on relevant information and avoid confusion later.
Pay attention to ideas rather than the exact words used. Correct answers often paraphrase, so matching meaning is more important here.
Judge every option independently as correct or incorrect. Do not assume that selecting one option makes others wrong, and you can strengthen this approach by practicing regularly with a PTE mock test.
Options using words like 'always' or 'never' are risky. Academic content rarely supports absolute statements clearly.
Eliminate choices that directly contradict the audio or text. This makes final selection easier and more accurate, and you can improve this skill by practicing with a free PTE practice test online.
Negative marking applies, so avoid guessing blindly. Select only the options you are sure about.
How negative marking works here, and what changes when the source plays only once.
One point for each correct option and one deducted for each wrong one, never below zero. Partial credit applies, so two right and one wrong still scores one.
No. This task has negative marking, so an uncertain extra pick can cancel a correct one. Select only what you heard the speaker say or clearly imply.
1–2 per test in both PTE Academic and PTE Core. The recording is 40–90 seconds in Academic and 50–90 in Core, and plays once.
Read the question and every option before the audio starts, then tick each option true or false as you hear the evidence. Correct answers are usually paraphrased, so listen for meaning, not matching words.
Same scoring and same negative marking, but here the source plays once and you cannot re-read it. Notes on names, numbers and the speaker’s view replace the passage.
