很多由雅思转考PTE的考生都是奔着考PTE能更快拿到自己想要的留学移民语言分数来的,PTE相对好考、题库范围小、更具技巧性、有套路可循等特点,也使得其平均备考周期远远短于雅思。
在做PTE阅读单选,多选和排列句子的题型时,需要格外注意英文中的逻辑结构,和中文是有本质区别的,要善于分辨topic sentence和main arguments,注意文章的行文结构,PTE常考的逻辑关系中,以因果关系,并列递进,解释这三种逻辑类型为主,分清主次,学会从作者的视角思考文章安排的原因,重视逻辑连接词,尤其是表转折的词汇,都会大幅提高阅读速度和正确率。

对于阅读部分的选择题,因为整体做题时间有限,因此无论是单选还是多选题的做题速度要严格控制时间,平均时长以不超过1.5分钟每道题为主,做题的技巧先看问题,再看答案,最后看文章。
无论是单选题或是多选题,基本上可以划分为两类,一类是找主旨观点,比如main idea, purpose, correct/wrong argument, best summary或者 best prediction等,一类是细节问题通常有对某一特殊意群的针对性提问。
对于主旨观点类问题
要明确问题的方向,如果是main idea or main argument类型,主要以确定文章中的topic和general idea为主。而summarize 类型的文章要注意文章整体,所以要格外注意阅读首尾句,明确文章中逻辑结构如转折,对比或者并列等是否有在选项中提及。而对于predictions类型的题目,要注意文章中未太多描述的部分,合理进行预测,结合选项的合理推测。
另外在阅读文章中,一些比较关键的内容是我们快速找到答案的关键:
1. Transition words: 文章中出现转折词或转折关系时往往是答案的高频出处,比如however, but, in fact, that is to say等等
2. Repeated content words:重复出现的关键词意群,通常对于细节题来讲是迅速把握正确答案的部分。
3. Summarized language:表总结性的语言或句式,这样的句式后面通常会接观点句,main idea 或main purpose类型的题目要特别注意这些句式。
对于细节类问题
同学们除了要找到关键词以及文章中paraphrase的关键信息之外,要对问题中针对location和time的时间地点状语格外注意,进一步限定的成分也可以让大家迅速在文中定位答案。
来看一道例题:
People tend to think that any new technology or device is an act of genius;something that has required vision and insight to create and then develop into a marketable product. The fact is that innovations were often already 'out there' in the public domain in some form or another. They tend to evolve from notions that have been around for years but that had not. until that point, been suitably adapted. One expert calls this the 'long nose' approach to innovation, whereby new concepts come into the world slowly. gradually revealing all they have to offer.
What is the writer's main point about innovation?
o A Many new products fail to interest consumers.
o B New products are not always based on new ideas.
o C Creators of new products require a unique set of skills.
o D New products are easy to distinguish from old ones.
文章当中迅速定位summarized language我们可以找到The fact is that innovations were often already 'out there' in the public domain in some form or another. 因此就可迅速推断答案为C

Filling the blanks (选词填空)是PTE阅读考试中一个比较容易失分的部分,大家往往认为FIB是单纯对词汇量的考察,而忽略了题目在固定搭配,一词多义等考察点所设置的陷阱。
