REVIEW WITH A PURPOSE
Compare what you heard with what you wrote.
This existing dictation report places the correct answer beside the submitted response and distinguishes correct, missed and wrong words. Use the comparison to find a concrete listening or spelling issue to work on.
Do not stop at the total: this example still highlights an extra word. Swiftuni scores are practice feedback, not official Pearson results or a guarantee of exam performance.

A few things worth knowing.
Which PTE listening tasks can I practise?
Swiftuni includes spoken summaries, multiple-choice questions, fill in the blanks, selecting a missing word, highlighting incorrect words and dictation. Highlight Correct Summary is an Academic task. Select the correct exam before practising.
Can I replay audio in the actual exam?
Follow the instructions for the real exam; do not assume that practice playback controls are available on test day. Where Swiftuni practice allows replay, use it for review after your first attempt.
What can I review after dictation?
Available dictation feedback can compare the expected answer with your response and identify correct, missed and wrong words. Check the actual report rather than relying only on its total.
Does every listening task use AI scoring?
No. Review tools differ by task. Supported tasks such as spoken summaries and dictation can provide feedback, while objective questions use their available answer checking.
Is PTE listening practice free?
Sign in to check your account’s access. Some questions or evaluations require an eligible plan or available usage tokens; do not assume unlimited free access.
