Why should I take OEt instead of IELTS?
The OET will test your ability within the context of your medical profession. Therefore, if you are a nurse or a doctor, you will be tested on things related to your job. Many see this as the main reason to take OET instead of IELTS.
What is the OET and OET test?
The OET stands for the Occupational English Test. Both of these tests are designed to assess your level of English and give you a score that is internationally recognised. Both of these tests consist of 4 sub-tests to assess your ability in reading, writing, listening and speaking.
What are the different parts of the IELTS test?
Each one consists of four sub-tests, one for each skill: reading, listening, writing and speaking. A test takes place on one day. There is no pass/fail, but a graded score – different institutions need test takers to achieve different scores, such as a 7 in IELTS or a B in OET.
What are the benefits of taking OEt?
An OET candidate can ‘bank’ the higher scores and focus only on the skills they ‘failed’. For me, this is the biggest benefit of OET and one that IELTS should consider introducing. Edit: Some people have commented that certain boards/institutions require you to take all four modules at the same time, even for OET.
