IELTS Listening has 4 recordings and 40 questions; Reading has 3 passages and 40 questions. Students preparing for IELTS exam will have to prepare regularly and solve question papers so they get used to the question types like multiple choice, matching, true false not given. Academic Reading uses longer texts from books and journals.

Spend 18–20 minutes per passage. Do full sections timed. Use ETS free tests. Check mistakes after. Replay hard parts. Regular practice improves speed and score quickly.

Look at context around the word or sentence. Inference means what the text suggests, not your own ideas. Eliminate wrong choices. Practice inference questions a lot. They appear often.

Give yourself 60 minutes total for three passages. Spend about 20 minutes per passage. Start with the easiest one if you want. Transfer answers directly to the answer sheet as you go. No extra time at the end. Practice full reading tests under timed conditions.

Skim the passage first for the main idea. Do not read every word slowly. Spend 2-3 minutes skimming. Then read questions and underline keywords like names, dates, or numbers. Scan the text for those words or synonyms.

Yes they did. Reading and listening turn adaptive starting then. Questions adjust based on how you perform earlier. Harder ones follow good answers and easier ones after mistakes. This makes the test more personalized.

Improving your PTE Reading from a baseline to an 80+ level in just 7 days requires a "hacking" approach rather than deep linguistic study. Since PTE is an integrated test, you must focus on the tasks that carry the most points.
The Fill in the Blanks are the most important tasks in the entire PTE Reading section. So make sure to learn a few tricks to answer them correctly - such as -
- If the blank is after "has/have/had," look for a V3 verb.
- If it's between "a" and a "noun," it's likely an adjective.
