What occupational therapists get
Built around the scenarios occupational therapists actually face.
An occupational therapist assessing a stroke survivor's readiness to return home, working with the patient and their adult daughter.
Every OET criterion, scored
Intelligibility, fluency, appropriateness, grammar, empathy, patient perspective, structure, gathering, giving — plus a 0–500 overall and an A–E grade.
Pronunciation diagnostics
Industry-grade pronunciation analysis surfaces the specific words that hurt your score — including the clinical vocabulary occupational therapists 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 occupational therapists' weak spots
Most occupational therapists lose marks in the same places: understanding the patient perspective (independence + identity), providing structure (multi-domain goals), empathy under cognitive decline conversations. The recommender targets these criteria first.
Occupational Therapy Writing letters, marked
Write a occupational therapy 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.
Privacy by default
Your recordings, transcripts, and scores stay on infrastructure we control. Export everything, delete your account, and your data is gone.

What each board asks for
You may not need Grade B in all four.
Australia and New Zealand set Grade B for occupational therapists. The two regulators covering the UK and Ireland accept OET but publish no threshold through it, so those two rows are a prompt to check, not a score to train against.
| Regulator | Listening | Reading | Writing | Speaking |

- Compiled from OET's own list of recognising organisations, captured 2026-08-21. One row per country: where several bodies gate registration, the table shows the one that registers occupational therapists specifically.
- Rows marked "not published" are bodies OET lists as accepting the test without stating a grade. They do accept OET — the number simply has to come from the regulator directly.
- Always confirm against the regulator before you book. A board can change its requirement between our weekly refresh and your application, and some accept scores combined across two sittings while others do not.
The answer for one country
A page per destination, stating what occupational therapists need there and which board decides — built to be linked when somebody asks.
