The following sub-tests of the OET, including the listening, writing, speaking, reading test parts, are all scored numerically from 0 – 500 in 10-point increments.

These numerical scores correspond to a letter grading from A, the highest, and E, the lowest OET. Below is a table showing the OET Scoring Grade.

Frequent problems usually occur while using the language. Such as constant errors, inaccuracies, misuse of technical terms, and or exhausted language usage can lead to miscommunication.
E0 to 90You can simply interact with your colleagues in a familiar situation or conversation. You can understand the main point of the topic or in short and simple messages. Clarification is also frequent and inevitable at this level of English proficiency. But unfortunately, there is also a high frequency of mistakes with the use of the language and terms. And in general cases, misuse or overuse of English technical terms is always present, which can cause significant strain and breakdowns in the communication within the healthcare work setting. There is no passing or failing grade for the OET exam alone. However, the universities and other healthcare facilities require their cut-off scores for you to be accepted. Therefore, it is best to know ahead the cut-off or grade needed for the institution you are applying for.
