Everything you need to know about practising for the OET Speaking test with our free tool.
The OET Speaking test consists of two role-play scenarios, each lasting about 5 minutes. You have a 3-minute preparation time before each role-play to read the card and plan your approach. An interlocutor plays the role of the patient, and you act as a healthcare professional (nurse or doctor). The test assesses your ability to communicate effectively in healthcare settings.
Our role-play cards are designed to closely mirror the format, structure, and difficulty level of the official OET Speaking exam. They follow the same layout — setting, patient details, your role, and task instructions — and cover the same scenario types you'll encounter on test day. Many of our users report feeling significantly more confident after regular practice.
Both are English proficiency tests, but OET (Occupational English Test) is specifically designed for healthcare professionals. OET uses medical scenarios and vocabulary relevant to your profession, while IELTS is a general academic test. Many healthcare boards in the UK, Australia, and Dubai accept OET as proof of English proficiency. Nurses typically need a Grade B (350+) in all sub-tests for UK NMC registration.
We recommend practising for at least 20-30 minutes daily in the weeks leading up to your exam. This gives you enough time to complete 3-4 full role-play scenarios. Consistent daily practice is far more effective than occasional long sessions. Focus on speaking for the full 5 minutes, using appropriate medical vocabulary, and structuring your responses clearly.
Yes! Our OET Speaking Practice tool is fully responsive and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets. You can practise during your commute, on your lunch break, or anywhere you have a few minutes. The timers, role-play cards, and sample phrases are all optimised for mobile screens.
For UK NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) registration, nurses need at least a Grade B (score of 350 or higher) in all four OET sub-tests: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. For GMC (General Medical Council) registration, doctors need a Grade B in all four sub-tests as well. Always check the latest requirements on the official NMC or GMC website, as they may be updated.
