Need help before you attempt?
Use one short guide, then come back to the task
Practise, review, repeat
A simple way to practise
-
Do one timed attempt
Open the task and complete it without pausing or checking the guide. Use the same time limit as the real test.
-
Name the problem
Do not only count wrong answers. Note whether you lost marks through timing, spelling, a missed detail, irrelevant case notes or an unclear response.
-
Review, then repeat
Read the matching guide and repeat the task two or three days later. Move to a full mock test once you can finish each sub-test within time.
Ready for a full run-through?
Take a full OET mock test
Use a full mock after practising each sub-test separately. It will show whether your timing and concentration hold across the complete test.
