The 22 PTE task types: which to fix first
Rate each task type from your last practice or test. You see which of the four skills your weak tasks feed and the order to fix them in. Tasks that score two skills come first, because a mistake there costs twice.
Why some tasks matter more
Pearson scores many tasks for two skills. Repeat Sentence, Re-tell Lecture and Summarize Group Discussion count for listening and speaking; Summarize Written Text counts for reading and writing; Write from Dictation and Summarize Spoken Text count for listening and writing.
So a slip in one of those tasks shows up in two of your four skill scores, and Home Affairs reads each of the four separately for Australian visas.
