例题 (Academic Test Plus T2Q1)：

When the Maori people first came to New Zealand, they brought the mulberry plant from which they made bark cloth. However, the mulberry did not flourish in the new climate so they found a substitute in the native flax. They used this for baskets, mats, and fishing nets and to make intricate fibre ceremonial cloaks. Maori identified almost 60 types of flax, and propagated flax nurseries and plantations to supply the integral material. 

They chopped the leaves near the base of the flax plant using a sharp mussel shell or shaped rocks. The flesh of the leaf was stripped off right down to the fibre which went through several processes of washing, bleaching, softening, dyeing and drying. Flax ropes and cords had such great strength that they were used to bind together sections of hollowed-out logs to create huge ocean-going canoes, and to provide rigging, sails and lengthy anchor warps for them. It was also used for roofs for housing. The ends of the flax leaves were fanned out to make torches to provide light at night.

For which of the following purposes does the passage say the Maori used flax?

A special clothing

B cleaning cloth

C equipment for boats

D walls for their huts

E cooking tools

这道题的正确答案是A和C。这道题的定位词是flax，而目的purpose的替换是‘to do’或者‘for …’，全篇文章有两个正解，两个干扰项。相信英语基础较好的同学应该可以很快地做出来。

答题策略解析

- 如果完全靠猜，大部分情况下，请选择其中的2个答案。这个选择可以最大程度保证得分，尽管两项同时猜对的概率只有10%。

- 如果只选了一个答案，按照PTE的打分方式，不管怎么选都是0分。

- 如果在3个选项中犹豫（比如说这道题里washing/bleaching/drying明显跟B有关，而canoes/sails/anchor等跟C相关的词语可能不是很熟悉），那么可以考虑3个选项都选（如ABC）。这样的话最终的分数恒定是1分（A正确+1，B错误-1，C正确+1 = 1），属于比较保守的策略。当然，也可以猜其中的两个选项，这样可能会得2分，或者0分，概率各半，属于比较激进的策略。

这类题型的最大问题是：其实你也不知道究竟有多少个正确答案。

从目前的题目统计而言，6选2的概率远大于6选3，因此在这种情况下，建议只选择2个选项。

例题 (Academic Test Plus T4Q2)：

It is possible to study the curriculum of an educational institution from a number of different perspectives. In the first instance, we can look at curriculum planning, that is at decision-making, in relation to identifying learners' needs and purposes; establishing goals and objectives; selecting and grading content; organising appropriate learning arrangements and learner groupings: selecting, adapting or developing appropriate materials, learning tasks and assessment and evaluation tools.

Alternatively, we can study the curriculum in action, as it were. This second perspective takes us into the classroom itself. Here, we can observe the teaching/learning process and study the ways in which the intentions of the curriculum planners, which were developed during the planning phase, are put into action.

Yet another perspective relates to assessment and evaluation. From this perspective we would try and find out what students had learned and what they had failed to learn, in relation to what had been planned. In addition we might want to find out if they had learned anything which had not been planned.

Which of these ways of looking at an institution's curriculum is outlined in the text?

A observing what happens during lessons

B evaluating the materials used

C analysing the content of tests

D considering what is taken into account when preparing the curriculum

E comparing this curriculum with other choices that could have been made

F reviewing actual learning compared to curriculum goals

G assessing the effectiveness of teacher preparation for lessons

这道题的答案是ADF三个。第一段的核心词是planning，对于选项D的preparing；第二段的核心词是in action/observe，对于选项A的observing；第三段的核心词是in relation to what had been planned，对应的是选项F的compared to。

但是不可否认的是，第三段的核心点非常难找，比如选项B中的evaluating与文中的Evaluation；选项E的comparing与文中的in relation to；选择G的assessing与文中的assessment。客观的说，A和D相对都是比较好找的，F的正确率其实很低。

答题策略解析

这类题的情况比较复杂。当然，如果你有自信能找出3个正确的答案，那么相信自己的选择。

接下来我们分析一下在不确定的情况下猜对的概率。假设在确定A和D正确，而不确定剩下该选哪个的情况下，我们有三种选择：

情况一：只选A和D，放弃第三个选项。那么最终的成绩是A (正确+1) D (正确+1) F (未选-1) = 1分。看似有点可惜，但至少能拿到1分。

情况二：选择A和D，并且从剩下5个选项中去猜一个。

- 20%的概率能猜中F，拿到满分3分

- 80%的概率猜不到正确答案，那么就是0分。A (正确+1) B (错误-1) D (正确+1) F (未选-1) = 0分。

在这样悬殊的概率下，各位同学还想要去赌一赌吗？

所以不确定的情况下，选2个选项依然是更加安全稳妥的选择，第三个选项带来的风险远大于回报。

情况三：当你比较肯定其中两个答案是正确的，并且在剩下的选择中，你在两项之间犹豫。根据上面解析过的PTE的多选题评分机制，3对1错最后也能够拿2分，所以在这种情况下，可以把四项都选上。

最后给大家总结一下：

5个选项的题型，

可以猜第2个答案；

7个选项的题目，

不确定的时候不要选。

总而言之：

PTE多选题在不确定时，

保持2个选项是最优解。
