HIGHLIGHTS

 OET Reading tip: Read medical journals

 Check for new English words and notice sentence structure like linking words and phrases, conjunctions, transition words, etc.

Write down new words with their definitions, word families, synonyms, and pronunciation notes.

Try to read a journal and figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words within context.

Medical journal example: British Medical Journal

OET Listening tip: Listen to medical podcasts

Be sure to listen to podcasts with different accents.

Take down notes.

Medical podcast examples: ABC’s All in the Mind and BBC’s HealthCheck UK Live

Read newspapers and websites

Look up topics that interest you to make your reading fun and informative.

Listen to YouTube videos

You can find interesting videos in English on almost any topic that interests you.

Try listening instead of watching to avoid distractions, then watch again with video and then with subtitles.

  1. I need help for OET listening and reading only. My exam on 19th November. I am very busy with my practice. I have failed 3 times. My last exam on 22nd October. Waiting for result. Insha Allah will pass.

    1. Hi,

      I wrote OET last year, had B in all modules with less than a week self preparations and now wondering if I could make A in all as I need 20 points for migration. Please, kindly recommend a training to book into with Swoosh.
