Prepare for success
Preparation is key, even for those with a high level of English proficiency. The OET Test is not a multiple-choice assessment, and the tasks are demanding. Extensive preparation materials are 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 our OET Test.
