What nurses get
Built around the scenarios nurses actually face.
A community nurse explaining post-op care to a recently discharged patient who is reluctant to start their physiotherapy exercises.
Every OET criterion, scored
Intelligibility, fluency, appropriateness, grammar, empathy, patient perspective, structure, gathering, giving — plus a 0–500 overall and band letter.
Pronunciation diagnostics
Industry-grade pronunciation analysis surfaces the specific words that hurt your score — including the clinical vocabulary nurses say every day.
Cue verification per task
Each role-card has 4–5 tasks. We verify each one against your transcript with the exact quote you used — hit, partial, or miss.
Targets nurses' weak spots
Most nurses lose marks in the same places: understanding the patient perspective, providing structure, information giving (jargon control). The recommender targets these criteria first.
Nursing Writing letters, marked
Write a nursing referral letter against a profession-specific case, then get it scored on all six official OET Writing criteria — with inline annotations and band-5 + band-7 model answers.

Empathic opener
“That sounds really difficult — can I check I understand what you mean?”
Signposting
“Before we get into that, I'd like to ask a few questions about your symptoms.”
Comprehension check
“Just to make sure I've explained that clearly — what would you tell your daughter about it?”
Closing
“Before you go, is there anything else on your mind?”

Inline annotations show the phrases that cost you marks, and band-5 + band-7 sample answers show the next band up. There is no word-count penalty: length is judged only through relevance and summarising.

FAQ
What nurses ask most often.
What OET score do nurses need for the UK NMC?
The UK NMC requires Band B (350+) in each of the four sub-tests. Recent policy allows one C+ in Writing or Reading provided the candidate has at least Band B in Speaking and Listening, and at least one re-sit attempt within 12 months. Always confirm the current threshold on the NMC website before booking.
Is AHPRA strict about Band B in Speaking specifically?
AHPRA accepts Band B (350+) across all four sub-tests for nursing registration, with limited aggregation across two sittings within 12 months. Speaking specifically requires Band B in the cleared sitting.
Can I practice as a nurse while my OET is pending?
Most regulators require valid OET evidence before granting full registration. Some allow conditional/temporary registration for nurses with employer sponsorship, but the OET deadline still applies. Confirm with your specific regulator.
