OET (Occupational English Test Preparation)

The Occupational English Test (OET) is a standardized test of English language proficiency that is specifically designed for healthcare professionals. It is widely accepted for registration and professional recognition in many English-speaking countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

The OET test measures the ability to communicate effectively in a healthcare setting and is divided into four sections:

• Listening: This section measures the ability to understand spoken English in a healthcare context.
• Reading: This section measures the ability to understand written English in a healthcare context.
• Writing: This section measures the ability to write in English in a healthcare context, such as writing a referral letter or a case history.
• Speaking: This section measures the ability to speak in English in a healthcare context, such as a simulated consultation with a patient.

The test is scored on a scale of A-E, with A being the highest level of proficiency. Each section is scored separately, and a grade of B or higher is generally considered to be a passing score. The test results are valid for two years.

OET test is widely accepted as evidence of English language proficiency by healthcare regulatory bodies and organizations in many English-speaking countries. They are considered as a reliable indicator of the test taker's ability to communicate effectively in a healthcare setting.
