Look over the PTE Academic question and answers:

Before the speakers open and the voice from the recording greets you, you will have a brief hiatus of 5 seconds. Use this time to read through the question and the responses that follow. This will give you a general idea of the topic and prepare you for the listening of the recording. It will also give you a clue on the type of information required. Often, PTE response options bear a common word, which is an additional clue. Keep your ears peeled for this word in the recording and gather information based on the question.

Pay attention to the requirements of the question:

While reading the PTE Academic India question before the speakers open, pay attention to what is being asked. Understanding the focus of the question can go a long way in helping you listen for the right answer. E.g. What is the main cause of friction? What does the speaker suggest that the zoo must do? The italicized words will keep you alert for the information required during the listening of the PTE recording.
