Educators integrate OET preparation and testing and accept the results for admission to healthcare courses, helping students demonstrate that they are prepared to communicate effectively in the workplace.

A Breakdown of the OET Test Sections
The OET test is divided into four sections:
Auditing
- Duration: 45 minutes
- Questions: 42
It consists of three parts and 42 questions. The total listening time is about 45 minutes, including the recorded speech and pauses to give you time to write your answers. You will hear each recording once and write down your answers as you listen.
Part A – Consultation (about 5 minutes each)
Part A assesses your ability to identify information in a consultation. You will listen to two recorded consultations with a specialist doctor and complete the doctor’s notes using the information you hear.
Part B – Short Workplace Excerpts (about 1 minute each)
Part B assesses your ability to identify the details, gist, opinion, or purpose of short recordings from the healthcare workplace. You will listen to six recorded excerpts (e.g., team briefings or dialogues between a healthcare professional and a patient) and answer one multiple-choice question for each excerpt.
Part C – Presentations (approximately 5 minutes each)
Part C assesses your ability to follow a recorded presentation or interview on a medical topic. You will listen to two different presentations and answer six multiple-choice questions for each.
Speaking
- Duration: 20 minutes
It is conducted individually and takes about 20 minutes. This part of the OET uses materials specifically designed for your profession. In each role-play, you play your professional role (e.g. as a nurse or pharmacist) while the other person plays a patient, client, or their relative or guardian. For veterinary medicine, the other person is the owner or guardian of the animal.
In each test, your identity and profession are checked by the other person, and a short warm-up about your professional experience is given. Then, the role-playing cards are introduced, and you have three minutes to prepare for each one. The role plays take about five minutes each.
Role-playing Cards
You receive information about each role play on a card that you hold during the role play. The card explains the situation and what you have to do. You can write notes on the card if you want. If you have any questions about the content of the role play or how it works, you can ask them during the preparation.
The role cards are based on typical situations in the workplace and reflect the requirements for a healthcare professional in these situations. The interlocutor follows the script so that the structure of the language skills test is the same for each candidate. The interviewer also has detailed information to use in each role play. Different role plays are used for different candidates in the same test administration.
Reading
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Questions: 42
Part A – Speed reading (15 minutes)
Part A assesses your ability to quickly and efficiently locate specific information from four short texts. The four short texts are all related to the same health topic, and you must answer 20 questions within the time limit. The 20 questions consist of matching, suggestion, and short answer questions.
Part B and Part C – Close reading (45 minutes)
Part B assesses your ability to identify the details, gist, or main point of six short texts from the healthcare field (100-150 words each). The texts may consist of excerpts from policy documents, hospital manuals, or internal communications such as emails or memos. Each text contains multiple-choice questions.
Part C assesses your ability to identify the detailed meaning and opinion in two texts on topics relevant to healthcare professionals (800 words each). For each text, you must answer eight multiple-choice questions.
Writing
- Duration: 45 minutes
It takes 45 minutes and depends on the profession. There is one task for each profession, based on a typical workplace situation and the requirements of the profession. For example, a nurse will do a nursing task, a dentist will do a dental task, etc.
The task is to write a letter, usually a letter of recommendation. Some alternative types of letters may include a translation letter and an extract letter, or a letter to advise or inform a patient, caregiver, or group. These types of tasks are sometimes used in pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and occasionally for speech-language pathology and occupational therapy. Another variant of the task, with a different focus, is a written response to a complaint (for radiography).
Along with the assignment instructions, you will receive supplemental material (case notes and/or other related documentation) that includes information to use in your response.
