OET WRITING

In the OET Writing test you have 45 minutes to read through a set of case notes and write a letter, typically a referral letter.

The letter is profession-specific, needs to include the information relevant to the task and be written clearly, appropriately and accurately. Our course will help you do exactly that.

SLC’s OET Writing course, taken from our hugely popular Reach OET B course, prepares you to achieve a high score. You work on a combination of carefully structured language and test-based tasks, video tips and lesson recordings. You analyse test questions and write your own letters which you can compare with a model answer or download and share with a teacher.

Want to work with a Writing expert? You can book 10 one-to-one lessons with an experienced OET Writing teacher who will give you targeted feedback and suggestions for improvement so you can maximise your score. 

All packages include

The course includes 3 practice tests, written by official OET test writers, where you write your answers, which you can then download and share with a teacher.

Test questions are integrated into all the units, so you really see what you need to do in the real exam.

Video tips and techniques throughout the course, plus recorded video lessons with an OET Writing expert.

The course is highly visual with many videos, different tasks and activities.

Study on PC, tablet or mobile phone through the course app, work offline if you need, offering the ultimate in convenience.

FAQs
About the course

There are six criteria that OET use to mark your letter: a clear expression of purpose, the inclusion of relevant content, concise and clear writing, the correct tone and style, the organisation and layout, and the language you use, including grammar, vocabulary, spelling and punctuation.

To get a B grade, you need to score mostly 2 out of 3 for Purpose and 5 out of 7 for the remaining criteria.

Reach OET B was written by a team of accredited OET Trainers under the guidance of Virginia Allum.

Virginia wrote SLC’s Medical English courses and is SLC’s Head of Medical English. She writes for OET, is a lecturer in English for Medical Purposes, a Medical English teacher trainer, and a widely published writer. Virginia co-authored the Cambridge OET Preparation book and the Cambridge English for Nursing text books, used by Medical universities around the world.
