How to Master Time Management in PTE Listening <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Check these highly recommended ways of time management for the PTE Listening section before appearing in the examination:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The first task in this section, “Summarize Spoken Test,” has a separate time limit of 10 minutes. Keep in mind that you must use the allotted time for this task only; do not attempt to save time as you cannot use it for other tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Avoid wasting too much time on the PTE listening section since you need to be sure that you are not hurrying through the other portions or missing any of them because of time constraints. This continues to be one of the most frequent problems faced by candidates, hindering them from moving on to the last question type, “Write from dictation,” because they lost so much time on the other PTE listening questions that they ended up scoring rather low for the module overall.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. The ‘Select Missing Word’ task must be completed within 30 seconds per question. After listening to an audio clip for roughly 25 seconds, you will need to choose the incorrect word from the list of five alternatives. Try to choose the right response in less than 30 seconds because the audio cannot be played again. You either have the answer or you don’t. It serves no use to waste time analyzing the available options multiple times.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Use the same technique for the section  “Highlight Correct Summary,” where you must match the correct response from the list of provided alternatives to your notes. All you need to do is to match your notes to the appropriate choices, which shouldn’t take more than 30 seconds. Keep in mind that you may only choose from the available options; you cannot replay the audio. If you are unsure, don’t waste any more time and move on to the next.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Keep in mind that you need to practice a lot to become familiar with the PTE exam pattern<\/a>. <\/strong>Prioritize the activities that will help you get a high score, such as the “Fill in the Blanks” part. There is no risk of confusing options and any negative markings. And last but not least, you must be able to recognize when to drop a topic and stop wasting time on it.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
