OET

The OET (Occupational English Test) is a widely recognized English language proficiency test used by healthcare professionals and organizations to evaluate the language skills of non-native English speakers. It is administered by Cambridge Assessment English, a division of the University of Cambridge.

The OET is specifically designed for healthcare professionals and is based on real-life scenarios and tasks that are relevant to their occupations. It is available in 12 healthcare professions, including nursing, medicine, pharmacy, and dental.

The OET consists of four sections: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. The Reading section measures your ability to understand written English, the Writing section measures your ability to write clear and coherent English, the Listening section measures your ability to understand spoken English, and the Speaking section measures your ability to speak English fluently and coherently. The total testing time for the OET is about 3 hours and 30 minutes.

The OET is scored on a scale of 0 to 500 points, with each section receiving a separate score. The scores for each section are combined to create an overall score. The minimum score required for most organizations and programs is around 350-400 points, but the exact score requirements may vary depending on the organization or program.
