How to Get a High Score in PTE Listening

PTE Listening is a challenging section of the test, and did you know that a lot of points contribute from your listening test to your PTE reading and PTE writing scores? Pay attention.

In this video, Jay will briefly take you through each of the PTE Listening tasks showing you and explaining:

Summarize Spoken Text
Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers
Fill in the Blanks
Highlight Correct Summary
Multiple Choice, Single Answer
Select Missing Word
Highlight Incorrect Words
Write from Dictation

He'll also talk to you about how it's impossible to READ and LISTEN at the same time, and how you can get around this issue. In fact, many of the PTE Listening tasks require you to process both written and spoken English simultaneously. How?

Next, he'll talk to you about how you can improve your listening skill through a simple single answer. It'll be easier than you think. Keep in mind that the PTE Listening tasks use authentic, real audio files not like other English tests.

Finally, he'll talk you through PTE Listening time management and tell you how much time you should spend on each task so you can make it to the end to maximise your scores.

Hi Jay, just want to thank you so much for all the brilliant advice and clips that you provide. My wife and I did the PTE exam yesterday and this morning we woke up to the amazing news that we both got high marks(90 for me and 85 for her). We honestly could not have done it without your tips and built in structure. Keep up the good work!

[MuhammadNaveed-yi]

surprisingly, I have found that I can do it without taking notes: I just listened carefully, remembered the core idea, matched it with the options below, and got the right option A.

@E2 PTE You guys are the best. Got an overall 86, with 2 bands in the 90s. I probably wld have got 90 everywhere if I had placed the microphone in the correct spot. Thank you Jay, and the E2 PTE team. It only took me 3 days to practice and watching all your videos

[ArunKumar-wevs]

Hello Jay & entire E2 family,
I just want to thank you for all the incredible help & guidance you people are providing to all of us here. I only had 5 days to prepare for my exam and no clue how to proceed. I scanned through almost all of your videos and tried to follow your methods the best I could. And happily, in the end, I was able to get my desired score :

Listening
81
Reading
80
Speaking
86
Writing 83
So, thanks again. You guys are doing a wonderful job.

[ahmozevi]

While i was reading and listening at the same time, I chose the answer D. But after using the trick i chose the correct answer. Thanks

[Suzi]

Note taking was much more helpful than listening and reading at the same time. Thanks Jay. :)

[jonathanmargaretandersen]

Taking notes was a super helpful tip, thank you.
it would be nice if you could add a timer that they would expect the question to be completed in.

Thank you
