An OET Test Delivery Partner will provide you with your test timetable, including your unique time slot for the Speaking sub-test.
Step 6

Step 9
What does preparation look like?
Eight emails covering:
- Test layout
- Masterclasses for each sub-test
- Focus on role plays and referral letter
- Links to official resources
- Test day guides
Please pre-register by filling in this form.
Note: It is essential that you complete the pre-registration form so that:
- We can let ECFMG know that you are taking OET to complete your Certification
- ECFMG can verify your results once they are relased
- We can ensure you get all the preparation resources you need to succeed at the test.
After completing the pre-registration form, if you wish to book your test yourself (rather than waiting for us to send you test date and location options), you may do so here. After doing so, please email us your candidate ID number. However, if you cannot find a suitable test date and/or location, please wait for us to contact you by email as new venues are opening regularly.
