PTE Core Highlight Incorrect Words assesses Listening and Reading. Follow the transcript while a 15–50-second recording plays once, selecting the words that differ from the audio. Each correct selection earns one point; each incorrect selection loses one, with a minimum of zero per question. For example, three correct selections and one incorrect selection earn 2 raw practice points, not an official PTE score or CLB level. These two complete recordings and transcripts are reused unchanged from Everyday Services, questions 1 and 2; the mismatched transcripts and explanations are new. This is original practice material, not an official Pearson question. Pearson’s Core task instructions and Core scoring criteria, page 38.
