Short on time? Let’s get straight to the point. PTE Reading: Fill in the Blanks requires you to understand how words “hang together” (collocations). You don’t just need to know the meaning; you need to know which word fits the grammar of the sentence.
Quick Strategy:
- Identify the Part of Speech: Is the missing word a noun, verb, or adjective?
- Look for Collocations: Does the word “provide” usually go with “information” or “fast”? (Hint: it’s information).
- Read the Whole Sentence: Don’t just look at the blank; the words after the blank are often the biggest clues.
