The world’s only international English language test specifically
for doctors.

OET offers candidates choice, convenience and confidence, with three different delivery modes:

• OET on paper at test venues
• OET on computer at test venues
• [email protected] (select candidates only)

Note: OET on computer and [email protected] are currently on pause, and will resume later this year.

You will receive a series of emails full of official OET resources. Each email will cover a different aspect of the test. Emails also include our masterclasses, guides and videos.

You can also find a wide range of preparation material in the OET Preparation Portal.

Preparation for OET is key, even for those with a high level of English proficiency. OET is not a multiple-choice test and the test tasks are demanding.

An extensive array of preparation materials is available to all candidates and our education team regularly emphasises the importance of all test-takers being familiar with both the test construct and the assessment criteria. We advise that you prepare thoroughly before attempting OET.

You will sit OET on your test date, completing each of the four sub-tests. OET abides by testing protocols that work to safeguard health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Appproximately 14 business days after sitting the test, OET will send you an email asking you to login to myOET to view your results. You will receive a letter grade and a numerical score for each sub-test.
