Scoring 90 in PTE Reading in 2026 is no longer about reading fast or guessing answers. With the latest PTE updates, success depends on smart strategies, strong grammar awareness, collocations, and correct task prioritisation.

Students who join PTE Coaching and regularly practice with a PTE Mock Test consistently outperform self-study candidates because they understand what really matters in the Reading module.

In this blog, you’ll learn 9 killer PTE Reading tricks that top scorers use to achieve a perfect score.

Trick 1: Identify High-Scoring Reading Tasks

Not all PTE Reading questions carry equal weight.

✅ High-priority tasks:

• Reading & Writing Fill in the Blanks
• Reading Fill in the Blanks

❌ Low-priority (dummy) tasks:

• Choose Single Answer
• Choose Multiple Answer

Most PTE Coaching Classes train students to save time on dummy questions and focus on Fill in the Blanks during every Free PTE Mock Test.

Trick 2: Click One Answer in MCQs and Move On

Choose Multiple Answer and Choose Single Answer are time traps.

Best strategy:

• Select one option
• Click Next
• Move on immediately

Trick 3: Grammar + Context Beats Vocabulary

In 2026, memorising words is not enough.

You must analyse:

• Sentence meaning
• Grammar structure
• Tense and agreement
• Logical flow

Trick 4: Collocations Are the Real Score Boosters

Most Reading Fill in the Blanks answers are based on collocations, not synonyms.

Examples:

• Depend on
• Rely on
• Struck by
• Vibrant colours
• Involved in

Trick 5: Don’t Read the Full Passage First

Reading the entire paragraph wastes valuable time.

Smart method:

• Focus on the blank
• Read one line before and after
• Apply grammar + collocation logic

Trick 6: Master Connector Logic

Many correct answers depend on connectors such as:

• However → contrast
• Moreover → addition
• Consequently → result
• For instance → example

Trick 7: Reorder Paragraph – Use the 1-Minute Rule

Reorder Paragraph is not a priority task.

Apply these rules quickly:

• Full name before short name
• Noun before pronoun
• Object becomes subject in the next sentence

Trick 8: Be Alert After Essay Writing

After Writing, the Reading timer starts immediately.

Common mistake:

• Reading instructions for too long
• Losing 3–4 minutes unknowingly

Trick 9: Accuracy Matters More Than Attempts

Attempting all questions with low accuracy will reduce your score.

Golden rule:

• Attempt fewer questions
• Get them 100% correct
• Focus on Fill in the Blanks

Final Words

Scoring 90 in PTE Reading in 2026 is completely achievable when you combine:
✔ Smart strategies
✔ Collocation mastery
✔ Grammar + context
✔ Regular PTE Free Mock Test practice
