You should make a note of the topics the class will cover this term.

How to approach it

  1. Listen for meaning. Holding the idea helps you recall the words.
  2. Do not write. There is no time. Focus on listening and repeating.
  3. Repeat immediately. Start as soon as the tone sounds.
  4. Keep going. Even if you miss a word, say the rest fluently.

FAQs

How many Repeat Sentence questions are in PTE?

Usually 10 to 12. Each sentence plays only once, so full attention matters more than note-taking.

How is Repeat Sentence scored?

On content (how many words you repeat in the right order), oral fluency and pronunciation. Even a partial repeat earns partial marks.

Should I take notes during the audio?

No. The sentence is too short for useful notes. Listen for the meaning, then repeat immediately.

What if I remember only half the sentence?

Say the half you remember fluently and confidently. Partial content still scores; silence scores zero.

Does Repeat Sentence affect my Listening score?

Yes, heavily. It is scored across Speaking and Listening, so strong practice here lifts two sections at once.
