5 Best OET Preparation Apps for Nurses

These are just 3 of 800+ nursing-specific practice tasks. Anglotec's library covers every OET scenario type you're likely to encounter.

Anglotec OET is purpose-built for healthcare professionals, with nursing-specific content that mirrors the actual OET exam. The AI Writing feedback system is calibrated to OET criteria, scoring your referral letters against the official marking rubric and providing specific improvements for content, organisation, language, and accuracy.

The AI Speaking role-play practice simulates the OET Speaking test with remarkable accuracy. The AI examiner takes on patient roles, responds naturally to your nursing communication, and scores your performance on clinical communication, relationship building, understanding and incorporating the patient's perspective, and providing information. This is the closest you can get to the real OET Speaking test outside the exam room.

With 500+ Writing tasks (all nursing referral letters, discharge summaries, and transfer letters) and 300+ Speaking role-plays covering every nursing scenario type, the practice material is comprehensive. The 94% Grade B pass rate among nurses who complete the study plan is the highest in the industry.

The official OET preparation materials are exactly what they say: authentic. The practice tests use real OET question formats and the sample answers are genuinely useful for understanding what examiners expect. If you want to know exactly what the test looks like, this is your source.

The problems are cost and quantity. At £39.99-99.99, you get only a handful of practice tests. There are no AI features, no adaptive study plan, no feedback system, and no structured preparation program. Most nurses use the official materials as one component of their study, but they need a comprehensive platform like Anglotec for the bulk of their preparation.

E2Language offers solid video lessons that explain OET strategies clearly. The instructors are engaging and the content covers all 4 subtests reasonably well. They offer a live class package that some candidates find valuable.

The downsides are significant: no AI Writing feedback means you're self-assessing or waiting for manual corrections. The Speaking practice has no AI partner. At £49-149, it's one of the most expensive options while offering fewer intelligent features than Anglotec at £6.99. The live classes can be hard to schedule around shift work, which is a major issue for working nurses.

Benchmark has been in the OET preparation space for years and has a solid reputation. Their Writing correction service (manual, not AI) provides decent feedback, and the practice materials are clinically accurate.

However, at £79.99, Benchmark is the most expensive platform we tested, and it offers fewer features than any competitor. The platform interface is dated, there's no AI, no adaptive learning, no Speaking AI partner, and the practice material quantity is limited. The manual Writing corrections take 24-48 hours, compared to Anglotec's instant AI feedback. For the price, we expected much more.

Swoosh English offers OET-focused video lessons and basic practice materials. The content is relevant to the OET exam and covers all 4 subtests. For nurses who want a simple, straightforward introduction to OET, it provides adequate content.

The limitations are substantial: no AI features, limited practice material (only 50 Writing tasks and 40 Speaking role-plays), no mock tests, no study plan, and a basic platform that hasn't seen significant updates. At £59.99, it's expensive for what is essentially a video course with minimal interactivity. Most nurses will outgrow Swoosh quickly and need a more comprehensive platform.
