What optometrists get
Built around the scenarios optometrists actually face.
An optometrist explaining a new glaucoma diagnosis and treatment plan to a patient who is worried about losing their vision.
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 optometrists 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 optometrists' weak spots
Most optometrists lose marks in the same places: information giving (anatomy + risk explanation), empathy around vision loss, understanding the patient perspective (independence). The recommender targets these criteria first.
Optometry Writing letters, marked
Write a optometry 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.

Phrase bank
Four phrases worth drilling.
Internalise these and you'll have go-to language for the moments that matter most in migrating optometrists' consultations.
Validating fear
“Losing your sight is one of the biggest worries — let me explain what we're seeing and what we can do.”
Translating anatomy
“The pressure in your eye is a bit higher than we'd like. Over time that can damage the nerve at the back of the eye — that's what we call glaucoma.”
Treatment options
“There are a few options. Let me walk you through them so you can decide what fits.”
Closing
“Before you go, what's the main thing you'll go home and tell your family about today's visit?”
Now scoring OET Writing
Not just Speaking — OET Writing for optometrists, too.
Write a optometry referral letter against a profession-specific case — timed under exam conditions, or untimed with hints and model answers — and get it marked on all six official OET Writing criteria. 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.
