THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEST FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

OET has been developed to cover 12 different healthcare professions. The test assesses all four language skills, using test materials that reflect typical communication scenarios from the healthcare industry.

  • Dentistry, Dietetics, Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Radiography, Speech Pathology and Veterinary Science

The Listening sub-test consists of three parts and a total of 42 question items. All three parts take a total of 40 minutes to complete. The topics are of generic healthcare interest and are therefore accessible to candidates across all professions. You will hear each recording once only.

Your performance is scored against six criteria and receives a band score for each criterion:

  • Purpose, Content, Conciseness & Clarity, Genre & Style, Organisation & Layout and Language

The Speaking sub-test is delivered individually and takes around 20 minutes. This part of OET uses materials specifically designed for your profession. In each role-play, you take your professional role while the interlocutor plays a patient, a client, or a patient’s relative or carer or pet owner (for Vets).

Your performance on each of the two Speaking role-plays is scored against nine criteria and receives a band score for each criterion. The nine criteria are separated into two different segments: Linguistic and Clinical Communicative.
