It's a task in the PTE Reading section where you read a short passage (up to ~300 words for PTE Academic, ~110 words for PTE Core) and then answer a multiple-choice question with only one correct response. The question may ask about the main idea, a specific detail, the author's opinion, or tone.
You can expect 1–2 Multiple Choice, Single Answer questions in the PTE Reading section. Because PTE is adaptive, the exact number may vary slightly across different test attempts.
For PTE Academic, each passage is approximately 300 words. For PTE Core, passages are shorter around 110 words. The text is on an academic subject and is generally straightforward to comprehend.
Questions typically test your ability to identify the main idea, locate specific details, understand the author's opinion or purpose, interpret tone, draw inferences, or recognise cause-and-effect relationships within the passage.
No. There is no negative marking for Multiple Choice, Single Answer. A correct answer earns 1 point; an incorrect or blank answer earns 0. Because there's no penalty, you should always select your best guess rather than leaving a question blank.
MCSA carries relatively low weight because only 1–2 questions appear per test. High-impact tasks for the Reading score include Reading & Writing Fill in the Blanks and Re-order Paragraphs. Still, every point matters, so it's worth practising.
