OET Writing, marked
Referral letters scored on all 6 official Writing criteria, with inline annotations.
What vets get
Built around the scenarios vets actually face.
A small-animal vet counselling an owner about a chronic kidney disease diagnosis in their senior cat and weighing treatment options.
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 vets 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 vets' weak spots
Most vets lose marks in the same places: empathy in end-of-life conversations, information giving (clinical vs lay terms), understanding the owner perspective (cost, attachment). The recommender targets these criteria first.
Veterinary Science Writing letters, marked
Write a veterinary science 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.
Where vets use it
Accepted by the regulators vets register with.
OET is recognised by healthcare regulators in every major destination. Practice on OET Live and you're preparing for the exact same Speaking format every one of them assesses.

What each board asks for
You may not need Grade B in all four.
Australia, New Zealand and Ireland all set Grade B for veterinary surgeons. The UK row shows the visa authority rather than the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, because OET files the RCVS under Education rather than as a regulator — the RCVS does accept OET.

- Compiled from OET's own list of recognising organisations, captured 2026-10-12. One row per country: where several bodies gate registration, the table shows the one that registers vets 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 vets need there and which board decides — built to be linked when somebody asks.
More detail: how the 0–500 score maps to a letter grade and the full list of countries and regulators that accept OET.

Phrase bank
Four phrases worth drilling.
Internalise these and you'll have go-to language for the moments that matter most in migrating veterinarians' consultations.
Acknowledging bond
“I can see how much Bella means to you — let me walk you through what we're seeing and what we can do.”
Translating disease
“Her kidneys aren't filtering quite as well as they used to — that's what we call chronic kidney disease.”
Discussing cost
“Let me lay out the options — there's a range, and we can find what fits Bella and your situation.”
Closing
“Take some time to think. I'll write everything down so you can talk it through at home.”
Now scoring OET Writing
Not just Speaking — OET Writing for vets, too.
Write a veterinary science 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.
