They provide useful strategies to train your students to use when taking the test.  \nThe tips are presented in relation to the order of sections in PTE General.  \nSome tips are general and apply to tasks that test listening, reading, writing and speaking. Others are relevant to individual sections and tasks at all levels or particular levels (A-1 and 2-5).  \n| Written part of test |  Listening\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>|  | Sections 1-3: All tasks | pp. 1-4 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  | Section 1: 3-option (graphical) multiple choice | pp. 5-8 |\n|  |  |  | Section 2: Dictation | pp. 9-12 |\n| Reading Writing\u003Cbr>|  |  | Section 3: Text, note completion | pp. 13-15 |\n|  |  |  | Section 4: Gap fill 3-option multiple choice | pp. 16-20 |\n|  |  |  | Section 5: 3-option (graphical) multiple choice | pp. 21-25 |\n|  |  |  | Section 6: Open-ended question | pp. 26-27 |\n|  |  |  | Section 7: Text, note completion | pp. 28-30 |\n|  |  |  | Sections 8-9: All tasks | pp. 31-33 |\n|  |  |  | Section 8: Write correspondence | pp. 34-38 |\n|  |  |  | Section 9: Write text | pp. 39-44 |\n| Spoken part of test |  | Speaking | Sections 10-13: All tasks | pp. 45-46 |\n|  |  |  | Section 10: Sustained monologue | pp. 47-49 |\n|  |  |  | Section 11: Discussion | pp. 50-51 |\n|  |  |  | Section 12: Describe picture | pp. 52-56 |\n|  |  |  | Section 13: Role play | pp. 57-58 |\n\nA number of free learning resources for PTE General are available [at pearsonpte.com/pte-general](at pearsonpte.com/pte-general)  \nListening  \nSections 1-3  \nSection 1: 3-option (graphical) multiple  \nchoice Section 2: Dictation  \nSection 3: Text, note completion  \nSections 1-3 (All levels)  \nTip 1 Teach your students the value of reading the instructions  \nThe instructions for each task in the listening sections of the test (1-3) are printed on the question paper and read aloud on the recording. Train your students to follow the words on the question paper as they listen to the instructions being read.  \nIn this way, they will get some early listening practice while they receive important information about each task.  \nThe topic  \nThis section is played twice Spelling is important  \nThis recording involves more than one person. The information in the gaps must come from the recording  \nSections 1-3 (All levels)  \n Tip 2  Draw students’ attention to the importance of timing in the listening sections  \nTiming is critical in listening tests. Make sure your students can do the questions at an appropriate pace, without becoming anxious or losing their place.  \nFor each section, they need to know how much time they have to:  \n• read the questions  \n• write their answers  \n• check their answers  \nIt is also very important to know whether they will hear the recording once or twice.  \n• Section 1, each recording is heard once  \n• Section 2, the dictation passage is heardtwice  \n• Section 3, each recording is heard once  \nUse the practice tests as a guide to timing in the listening sections of the test; available at: [pearsonpte.com/pte-general](pearsonpte.com/pte-general)  \nSections 1-3 (All levels)  \n Tip 3  Highlight the purpose of the example questions  \nThere is an example question in sections 1 and 3. The examples provide a model of what to expect in the test questions.  \nTell your students that by reading the example question and listening while it is read out, they will get an idea of the content and difficulty of the questions and find out how to write their answers.  \nSections 1-3 (All levels)  \nTip 4 Get your students used to hearing a range of voices and accents  \nThe recordings for the listening sections are made using a range of voices and accents of spoken English. Your students may be used to hearing one type of spoken English accent ","cbCailJpufRlpUwy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailJpufRlpUwy","pdf",6017528,64,"English","# Introduction to Test Tips\n## Test structure and sections (1-13)\n## Listening tips (Sections 1-3)\n### Tips 1-7","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Test Tips resource for teachers?\",\"answer\":\"It provides 59 test tips that help teachers train students to use effective strategies when taking PTE General.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the tips organized within the PTE General exam?\",\"answer\":\"The tips follow the order of sections in PTE General, with some guidance covering tasks across all skills and other guidance specific to individual sections and levels.\"},{\"question\":\"What listening sections does the resource cover, and what types of tasks are included?\",\"answer\":\"Listening includes Sections 1-3, covering tasks such as 3-option (graphical) multiple choice, dictation, and text/note completion, with guidance on timing and interpreting examples.\"}]","Test Tips - Version 3 - Introduction to Test Tips | PDF",1790839439,161]
