About

Test takers will usually hear a lecture/dialogue（40s-90s）before required to accordingly choose 2 or 3 correct answers from given 5 to 7 options. For each wrongly selected option there will be 1 point deducted unless this deduction will make the score of this task below 0. This question type usually consists of 1 or 2 tasks.

Tips

Multiple-choice-multiple-answer questions account for a insignificant amount of points in the Listening Section, so they deserve a very low priority in preparation for PTE. Before each audio is played, start reading what is asked and then listen to the audio in a targeted way, which will help to get key information answering to the question.

According to the grading of this question type test takers achieve 1 point for each correct selection and lose 1 point for each wrong selection. So, do not select more than you are certain of. On the other hand at least 1 option should be chosen.

Time Span

Multiple-choice-multiple-answer questions account for a insignificant amount of points in the Listening Section, so finish them as quick as possible, leaving more time to more worthy WFD. If sure to answer correctly, can spend 1.5 minutes at most in each question( with audio playing combined in). If not, do not spend too much time here, just make a rough choice immediately after the audio playing and enter next task.

Practice Task

Before mock/ real tests, practice 1 whole set of questions to get familiar with them. And pay attention to time management.
