1
Planning to become a nurse? Well, thats a great
helping profession that can help serve your
country! But, along with your countrys health
standards, you also need to consider your career
prospects. So, if you are looking for further
nursing education somewhere outside the country,
it isn't a bad thing. But, you need to be well
prepared to be able to clear your visa test, and
be able to qualify for a good nursing education
abroad in one of the best institutions of the
country you are flying to. And for this, you need
to clear the OET test.
What is the OET test? OET is an English language
testing exam that tests every aspect of the
English language of a candidate reading,
writing, listening, and speaking. And, the best
part of this test is that it is specifically
designed for medical professionals. It caters to
a number of medical professions, with nursing
being one of them. In fact, OET is preferred over
other English language tests as it tests the
skills of a candidate in a medical workplace
setting. This helps

the assessors know whether the candidate is fit
to set in the medical profession in the future
or not, especially when he/she is planning to
study abroad with English as the main
language. How is OET different from other
English language tests? While OET, like any
other English test, also tests the same skills of
reading, writing, listening, and speaking, the
questions here are profession-specific with the
language and terms being those that healthcare
professionals use in their day-to-day life at
work. In simpler terms, you can say that OET is
Medical English rather than the general English
tested in other English tests. Who all can
undergo the OET test? Other than those looking
for a nursing career, many other healthcare
professionals can also sit for the OET. The OET
test caters to 12 healthcare professions, which
include nursing, dentistry, dietetics, medicine,
occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy,
physiotherapy, podiatry, radiography, speech
pathology, and veterinary science. How to
prepare for the OET? While there are lot of ways
to self-prepare for the OET like taking up free
online master classes, online sample practice
tests, live webinars, etc., it is always
suggested that you take up professional coaching
if you want to clear your OET with flying colours
in one go! Avigna Learning Academy is one of the
