Full official rubric — automatically scored on every role-play.
5+ regulators served
UK GPhC · AHPRA / Pharmacy Board of Australia · Pharmacy Council of New Zealand and more.
OET Writing, marked
Referral letters scored on all 6 official Writing criteria, with inline annotations.
What pharmacists get
Built around the scenarios pharmacists actually face.
A community pharmacist counselling a patient on a new prescription for warfarin, including monitoring requirements and interaction warnings.
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 pharmacists 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 pharmacists' weak spots
Most pharmacists lose marks in the same places: information giving (technical pharmacology in plain english), providing structure (multi-medication regimens), understanding the patient perspective. The recommender targets these criteria first.
Pharmacy Writing letters, marked
Write a pharmacy 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.
Every prep site repeats the same line: Grade B in all four. For pharmacists it is wrong in the two places it matters most — the Australian Pharmacy Council and every Canadian college of pharmacy accept C+ in Writing. That is a full grade band, and believing otherwise costs a re-sit nobody needed.

- 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 pharmacists specifically.
- 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

Safety-netting
