Hi everyone!
I have my OET Speaking test in 2 days, and I have a few last-minute doubts. I’d really appreciate any advice from those who have recently taken the exam.
Introduction: Do you always confirm the patient’s name (e.g., “Can I confirm your name, please?”), or is it okay to introduce yourself and go straight into the consultation depending on the scenario? For example, in an emergency department role play where the card already says you’re speaking to the patient or their relative, can I simply say:
“Hello, I’m Dr. Xxx , one of the emergency doctors looking after you today. I understand your father has been admitted…”
without confirming the name?
Is it okay to start with something like “How are you feeling today?”, or should the opening depend entirely on the scenario?

Finally, is everything that needs to be covered in the consultation included in the role-play card, or are the tasks just mentioned, or are there things the examiners expect us to ask or do even if they’re not mentioned on the card?

Also, if anyone could share how they felt immediately after their Speaking test and what score they eventually received, that would be really reassuring and helpful to hear.

Any last-minute speaking tips would also be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone!
I have my exam on July 22 and I don’t know where to start!
I have time limitations so please help me
I appreciate you all.

Any Female aiming for 11 july OET and needs a speaking partner, DM me please.

I have been scoring consistently around 28–29/42 in Listening and Reading, and I seem to be stuck at this level despite regular practice. I would appreciate your advice on how I can break this plateau and improve my score.

Native English speaker. Half day prep for speaking, didn't finish all the points of the first scenario, and introduced myself when technically I should not have. Second scenario was a lot smoother. Thankfully did not have any issues with the software.

1 day prep for the other sections. went through 3 practise tests. Didn't really focus on writing , wrote my first letter the night before the exam and asked ChatGPT to mark it. One point of advice is to read up on all the different kinds of letters you can be asked to write, as majority of practise tests just ask for a referral letter which is not what came up for me.

Results released July 3rd. Test taken on OET computer at a venue, speaking 22nd June, rest on June 24th.

Good luck to anyone taking the exam!

I am confused and disappointed. Despite having practised more than 15 writing tasks, including with a dedicated tutor, my letters almost never manage to score above 320–350 on ChatGPT, and I can only achieve slightly higher scores on Gemini. Only two or three times have I reached 370–400.

I have studied the guidelines for letter writing extensively, implemented every possible correction, and when I read my letters back, they seem very solid to me. In the end, ChatGPT identifies only a few minor grammar mistakes or slightly non-idiomatic expressions, yet these seem to lower the score very easily.

I no longer know what to do. I do not understand what else I can improve, and I am not sure whether the problem is ChatGPT itself. I have read here that one should aim for a score of 400 on ChatGPT, but at this rate I feel I will never reach it.

Would anyone be able to help me?

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I have my exam in three days. I need OET dedicated speaking partner who is having Exam soon. Please mention in comments. Thank you.

I got B in 3 subtests except for reading. I sadly got 310 which whom i thought i did well. I am aiming for UK. Do i have to take the exam all over again? Thank you so much.

I have exam in a week. If anyone want to partner up for preparation, we can discuss and help each other overcome their weakness and prepare the exam well. I am in EST time zone

Hi everyone. I just got my results and I am honestly completely drained.

The lead-up to this exam was an absolute nightmare. I took my test in Kyiv, Ukraine. Right before my scheduled Speaking test, there was a massive missile strike and I had to literally run to a bomb shelter. I then had to fight with OET support for days just to get a reschedule without paying a penalty fee for saving my own life.

Against all odds, I went to the written exams. I thought Listening Part C absolutely destroyed me, but I ended up getting a 420! My Speaking (which I did after all that stress) was 410, and Reading 390. I was so incredibly close.

But my Writing came back as 320.

I need 350 across all domains for GMC registration in the UK. Because I’m a doctor, the 300 concession doesn’t apply to me. I am exactly 30 points short in one single section.

The thought of going through this entire hell again—the studying, the money, taking exams under air raid sirens—just for 30 points in one section is absolutely breaking me.

I’m applying for a remark right now. Has anyone ever had their Writing score jump from 320 to 350 after a remark? I just really needed to share this with people who understand how crushing this bureaucracy can be.

Did speaking test last Jun 22 and LRW last June 24 and I still didnt get any result. Website says active booking. Is there a delay in release?

My speaking is on Saturday and the rest on Monday

Please let’s hold each other accountable

I got a 320 in Reading; I passed everything else without any issues. I feel like I did really well, and it honestly feels unfair! I’ve applied for a re-evaluation—do you think I have a chance? Thanks for your help.

Hey guys! I heard that there was a Google drive link for oet prep but that link is no longer active. Does anyone have it downloaded offline or any other prep materials?
