It assesses the English language skills of candidates who are planning to work or study in healthcare-related roles, such as doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and other allied health professionals.

    How OET Grading is done?

    The Occupational English Test (OET) uses a grading system to assess the English language proficiency of healthcare professionals. The grading system consists of alphabetic grades from A to E, with A being the highest and E the lowest level of performance. Each of the four components of the OET (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking) is graded separately. A candidate’s overall performance is determined by the grades achieved in all four components.

    The grading scale for OET is as follows:

    • A: Very high level of performance. Indicates that the candidate can communicate effectively and with accuracy in all relevant aspects of the language.
    • B: High level of performance. Shows that the candidate can use English proficiently and with effectiveness in most situations.
    • C: Satisfactory level of performance. Indicates that the candidate can use English adequately in familiar contexts but may face difficulties in unfamiliar situations.
    • D: Limited level of performance. Shows that the candidate has a basic command of English but has difficulties in using the language.
    • E: Very limited level of performance. Indicates that the candidate’s English language skills are not adequate for effective communication in a healthcare environment.

    3. Can I use other English language tests, like IELTS, instead of OET for nursing registration in New Zealand?

    Ans. Yes, some nursing regulatory bodies in New Zealand may accept other English language tests, such as IELTS (International English Language Testing System), as an alternative to OET. However, it is crucial to check with the specific nursing authority or employer to determine which tests they accept and what scores are required.

    4. How long are OET scores valid for nursing registration in New Zealand?

    Ans. OET scores are typically valid for two years from the date of issue. Nursing professionals must ensure that their OET scores are within this timeframe when applying for nursing registration in New Zealand.

    5. Can I take the OET test in my home country, or do I need to travel to New Zealand?

    Ans. OET is an international test, and you can take it in various locations worldwide. You do not need to travel to New Zealand to take the OET test. Check the official OET website for information about test centers and available dates in your country.

    6. Are there any exemptions from the OET requirement for nursing professionals in New Zealand?

    Ans. Exemptions from the OET requirement may be granted in specific cases, such as if English is your native language or if you have completed your nursing education in a country where English is the primary language. However, the granting of exemptions varies based on the nursing regulatory authority’s policies and requirements.

    7. Can I retake specific OET components if I don’t achieve the required grade in one of them?

    Ans. Yes, candidates can retake specific components of the OET if they do not achieve the required grade in one or more sections. However, it’s essential to check the OET policies regarding retakes and how they may impact the overall validity of your scores.

    8. Can I use OET scores for immigration purposes as well as nursing registration?

    Ans. Yes, OET scores can be used for both nursing registration and immigration purposes in New Zealand. Meeting the English language proficiency requirements through OET is often necessary for obtaining a work visa or permit to work as a nurse in New Zealand.
