How To Prepare For The OET? - Avigna Learning Academy

When you are planning to sit for the OET exam, it
is one of the wisest decisions you have made.
Clearing the OET proves that you are capable of
moving abroad to continue with your medical
studies or for setting up a medical career. But,
to crack this exam, you need the right kind of
preparation.

• Start early
• First and foremost, you need to understand that
  you must start early. Even though you have a
  good command over the English language, preparing
  for the OET in advance is important. This is
  because the OET format is a little different from
  any other English language assessment test. The
  OET has letters, essays, and dialogues based on
  healthcare scenarios, which also tests how
  comfortable you can be in a medical situation.
  This is why you need to give yourself time to
  prepare for the OET pattern that comprises of
  four different parts of reading, writing,
  speaking, and listening and you need to prepare
  thoroughly for each of these sections.
• Take up a sample test
• Take up a sample test, maybe from a previous
  years OET exam. After that, have your test
  checked and evaluated by an English teacher of a
  friend with native-standard English. Let them
  check how you score, and ask them for feedback on
  your skills. These results will let you know
  where you stand, and how much you need to
  improve.
• Work on your flaws

• Once you have taken a sample test, you know your
  general weaknesses and strengths. Work on them
  to improve your flaws and strengthen your
  strengths even better. Identify your mistakes
  and ask yourself why you may have committed them.
  Is it a grammatical mistake, is it a vocabulary
  mistake, is it from not reading the question
  properly, or is it something else? Find out the
  reason, and make sure not to repeat that again.
• Understand the scoring pattern
• You need to be well aware of the scoring pattern
  of OET in order to understand what the assessors
  expect form you out of the test. Every segment
  has a certain number of points and an amount of
  time allotted to it. You need to make sure you
  complete the task within the allotted time, and
  also see how the questions are scored so that you
  can work to score better than you did in your
  sample test.
• Preparation courses and self study
• Now that you know what the test is about and
  where you stand, you need to start improving.
  For this, you have two options. You either take
  up a professional OET training from one of the
  reputed OET training institutes in Bangalore, or
  opt for self-study. When you enroll with a
  training institute like Avigna Learning Academy,
  you know that there are mentors to take care of
  everything, they will analyze you, teach you, and
  give you the right feedbacks, up till they are
  sure that you are ready to sit for the test. But,
  when you opt for self-studying, there is a lot
  of more effort to be put in.
• So, are you all ready? Remember, dont rush to
  sit for the test until you are completely ready.
  Rushing things will only help you not to get the
  required grades. So, it is better to take some
  extra time preparing, until you are sure that you
  are ready to sit for the test. With the right
  preparation, you can definitely ace the test, and
  get the results you want.
