PTE Line Graph Practice and Template

The line graph compares monthly rainfall in Harbor Point and an inland town over six months of the year. Harbor Point started the year with sixty millimetres, which fell steadily to a low of ten in July. It then recovered sharply to a peak of eighty in November. The inland town followed the opposite pattern. Its rainfall was lower in the first months, but it reached seventy millimetres in July, its highest point. The two lines crossed between March and May, when the inland town overtook Harbor Point. Overall, the two towns have contrasting rainfall seasons.

This line graph shows the number of mobile and broadband subscriptions in Eastvale from 2019 to 2025, in millions. Mobile subscriptions were always the higher of the two. They rose steadily from four point two million in 2019 to five point three million in 2025. Broadband subscriptions started much lower, at one point one million, but grew faster. By 2025 they had reached two point nine million, more than double the 2019 figure. As a result, the gap between the two lines narrowed from three point one million to two point four million. Overall, both services have grown, with broadband catching up.

This line graph compares snow depth at a village and at the summit above it over six months of the year, in centimetres. The summit always had deeper snow. Both locations peaked in January, at 140 centimetres on the summit and 55 in the village, and both were lowest in July, when the village had none and the summit just 15. The gap was widest in January, at 85 centimetres, and narrowest in July. Overall, snow follows a seasonal cycle, with the summit holding snow far longer.

This line graph compares average reaction times, in milliseconds, of volunteers who slept fully and those who slept for four hours, measured up to 22 hours after waking. Both lines rise as the day goes on, meaning people react more slowly. The rested group went from 240 to 320 milliseconds, an increase of 80. The sleep-restricted group started higher at 260 and climbed much faster, reaching 470, a rise of 210. The gap therefore widened from 20 to 150 milliseconds. Overall, short sleep is linked with slower reactions, especially late in the day.

This line graph compares the hours of darkness per night at two observing sites in four months. The lines mirror each other. In March and September both sites have 12 hours, so the lines meet. In June the north site has only 7 hours of darkness, its lowest, while the south site has 17, its highest. In December the pattern reverses. Overall, the seasons are opposite at the two sites, which is why the largest gap is 10 hours.

This line graph shows freight carried by rail and by road at Port Halden between 2016 and 2024, in million tonnes. Road carried far more throughout. It peaked at 22.0 million in 2018, then declined to 18.2 million by 2024. Rail moved in the opposite direction, rising steadily from 8.0 to 13.0 million, an increase of 5.0. As a result, the gap narrowed from 13.5 million tonnes in 2016 to 5.2 million in 2024. Overall, freight is gradually shifting from road to rail.

This line graph shows how rock temperature changes with depth at two sites. At the surface both are similar, at 8 degrees for granite and 9 for sandstone. Temperature rises steadily with depth at both, but granite climbs faster, reaching 22 degrees at 50 metres. Sandstone only reaches 14, leaving a gap of 8 degrees.

The line graph compares weekly hours spent reading books and streaming video by adults in Marlow from 2016 to 2024. Reading falls from 7 hours to 4. Streaming rises from 4 to 12. The two lines meet at 6 hours in 2018, after which streaming leads, ending in 2024 three times higher than reading.

This line graph shows the percentage of employees in a fictional survey who trust workplace AI tools, by age group, from 2022 to 2025. Trust rises in both groups, but faster among those under 30, from 35 to 58 per cent. Over 50s move only from 20 to 27. As a result, the gap widens from 15 points to 31.

This graph shows the total points collected by two teams, the Falcons and the Rovers, over a thirty-round season. Rovers lead early, with 10 points after round 5 against 8. Falcons overtake them by round 10 and stay ahead. By round 30 they finish on 58 points and Rovers on 45, a difference of 13.

The line graph tracks canopy cover in a regenerating forest plot over 25 years, for a native mix and a pine plantation. Pine grew faster at first, reaching 35 percent by year 5 against 22 for the native mix. However, the native mix overtook it between years 15 and 20, reaching 81 percent. The pine line levelled off at about 80 percent, whereas the native mix kept rising and ended highest, at 86 percent.

This line graph shows inflation and the central bank rate in Tarsis between 2019 and 2025. Inflation dipped to 0.9 percent in 2020, then surged to a peak of 7.4 percent in 2022. The bank rate responded later, rising to its peak of 5 percent in 2023, a year after inflation peaked. Both lines then fell, and by 2025 inflation stood at 2.2 percent with the bank rate at 3.5 percent.

This line graph compares daily water use per person in Harbourton and Eastvale between 2000 and 2025. Harbourton began far higher, at 190 litres, but fell steadily to 135. Eastvale stayed within a narrow range, between 144 and 158 litres. The lines crossed between 2010 and 2015, when Harbourton dropped below Eastvale. By 2025 the gap was nine litres, with Harbourton at 135 and Eastvale at 144.

This line graph shows the share of adults eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day in urban and rural areas from 2017 to 2025. Rural areas started ahead, at 30 percent against 24 for urban areas. However, the urban line climbed steeply, rising 14 points to 38 percent, whereas the rural line grew slowly to 35 percent. The urban line overtook the rural one between 2021 and 2023.
