Booking an OET test
OET is available at more than 120 locations in 40 countries, with 14 test dates per year.
Be careful though – although there are test dates every month, registration is only open for the next three test dates at a time, so make sure you select the correct date when you apply. Also, applications close three weeks before the test date, so apply as early as possible as spaces may be limited at some venues.
