PTE Reading: Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers

More than one answer is correct — and every wrong pick costs you a mark.

+1 correct, −1 wrong, floored at zero. Selecting every option guarantees a zero. Only select what the passage actually supports; two confident picks beat four hopeful ones.

Strategy

  • Find the evidence in the text for each option you select. If you cannot point at the line, do not click it.
  • Beware options that are true in the world but not stated in the passage.
  • The question usually tells you how many are right. Read it.
