Occupational English Test

Proficiency in English language has been one of the inevitable requirements for applying abroad. Though various ways already exist to assess the competency of candidates in english language, OET is one of the fragments among them.

Sometimes, these english assessments seem tougher than the actual medical exams. After not getting the required scores in the IELTS once, it was a humming and hawing state to re-attempt it. But with some good grace, I gave a shot to OET and fortunately, cleared the exam with good grades. So, to utter with all consciousness, I have become a fervent supporter of it. 

Occupational English Test (OET), an English language test, designed especially for healthcare workers, is an assessment tool based exclusively on medical parameters and reflects real workplace environment. This test has proven to be more comprehensible and cognitive for all the medical professionals.

The exam takes place many times in a year and has a 2-year validity. Currently, almost every country (inclusive of Pakistan) has operated exam centers for OET with good success. 

The exam contains four subdivisions, each part has its own sensitivities and peculiarities and should not be taken easy. Though, the good thing is that all of them are highly relatable and thus doable. The exam can be prepared within a 2-month duration of true determination and focus. It is demanded to give few quality hours to the listening and reading parts as both can twist the exam result very easily. Though speaking is much more acceptable in a sense that it contains a patient and doctor/nurse conversation which we pretty much do in our daily lives. However, after completing the writing part in the test, it felt that i dodged a bullet. All in all, the whole exam is exhilarating.
