Try a Free Mock TestThe Occupational English Test (OET) uses a numeric scale ranging from 0 to 500. This score is then mapped to a corresponding letter grade from A (highest) to E (lowest). Unlike general English exams, the OET specifically assesses your ability to communicate effectively in a demanding clinical environment.
For most healthcare professionals, including nurses applying to the NMC and doctors applying to the GMC in the UK, a Grade B is the required passing standard. A Grade B corresponds to a numeric score between 350 and 440. To achieve this in the Reading and Listening modules, you generally need a raw score of at least 30 out of 42 correct answers.
When taking a free OET practice test online or using offline materials, you are only given a raw score (e.g., 32/42).
