OET grades for Speech Pathology in Canada differ by board
Not every board that registers speech pathologists in Canada asks for the same thing — they differ on Listening. The table below gives all 2 of them, sub-test by sub-test, so you can check the one that will actually assess you.
Every gating body OET lists for speech pathology in Canada, with the grade each publishes per sub-test. Grade B is 350–440; C+ is 300–340.
| Board | Listening | Reading | Writing | Speaking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regulatory College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of New Brunswick | B | B | B | B |
