Hi, can we take a note in the box while we are listening the voice?
If the box is open it’s faster to take a note in the box rather than in paper.

Admin

Yes, it is possible to make a note in the box.

What about extra vocabularies added to the end of the sentence, before the full stop?

Hi dears,

Based on PTE SCORE GUIDE, each correct word has 1 point and each incorrect word has 0 points So there is no demerit point for you for extra words.

If we refer to the PTE SCORE GUIDE, each correct word has 1 point and each incorrect word has 0 points So there is no demerit point for you for extra words.

I am searching on net and realized that somewhere:
“the addition of 3 words or below will not be harmful to the final score at all. However, adding words more than 3 will result in points dedication in Listening. This has also been testified both in mock and real exams.”

Hi Faraz,
Do you recommend writing two versions of a word as I have doubts about the exact word I heard?
for instance:
…. material materials …

Hi do we get papers to jot our answers down before writing on the computer?

You will be given an erasable noteboard booklet with markers to take notes.

Hi,
My question is, when I incorrectly write a world, dose it has negative marks on my listening also? (because this task evaluate both listening and writing)

kamyar

You will get 1 point for each correct word and there is no negative mark.
