OET Writing Criteria: Tips To

Improve Your OET Score


The Occupational English Test is the only English language test for
healthcare professionals. OET writing is one of the four modules that you
need to ace to score an overall band for your dream destination. Your
success on the OET Writing test was graded in six categories, with a band
score assigned for each. The OET Writing Criteria will be thoroughly
explained in this article. Read and understand the Tips To Improve Your
OET Score

The OET Writing subtest covers six criteria, each receiving a score
between 0 and 7. Only the purpose gets a score between 0 and 3; the
other criteria range from 0 to 7. You must excel in all six areas to receive
a 350 (formerly a B) grade in writing.

Six instructions are provided below that go over each requirement in


detail, the writing abilities you’ll need, and how to hone them. So let’s
dive through them all and discover how to master the OET Writing sub-
test in each of these areas!!

1. Purpose
In the OET Writing subtest, purposeful writing is crucial. “Immediately
visible” and “sufficiently expanding” are the two components of purpose.
Through the writing work and case notes, you must define and
comprehend the goal of your letter.

Once you have determined and comprehended the aim, you must also
demonstrate it in your letter. This entails writing an opening phrase and
using verbs that communicate the goal of your note to the reader.

The purpose is the first of six assessment areas that the assessors will
use to rank your performance on the OET’s Writing subtest. You must
comprehend what we mean by purpose and what is expected of you if
you hope to receive your desired score.

This portion of the article will explain the following:

 The two components of purpose that you must write about

 How to determine and comprehend a task’s purpose

 What should you do to demonstrate purpose in your writing?

You are fully aware of how time-constrained people might be as


healthcare providers. You can help your reader save valuable time by
outlining your letter’s aim at the outset. Alternatively, make it clear from
the start why you are writing and why they should read your letter.

To give our patients the best care possible, You, as healthcare


professionals, need more information about them than simply a general
overview. Later in your letters, please include more pertinent information
to help us increase our Purpose score and better serve the people who
depend on us.

2. Content
Appropriate content is one of the primary requirements to receive 350
points on the OET Writing test. Your letter’s success depends on your
choice of what details to provide. Your letter won’t be able to persuade
the reader of the necessary message if it lacks the appropriate content.
The material selection will be based on what the audience requires to
continue providing care for the patient. The case notes contain all the
required details.

You must be able to translate case notes into complete sentences while
maintaining the sense for them to be appropriately represented. Doing so
may ensure that you’re accurately representing the case notes and
including pertinent details.

3. Conciseness & Clarity


Being concise and clear is crucial while writing letters in OET, and this will
ensure that your letter’s content is pertinent and straightforward.
Consider what details should be omitted and what information is
unneeded rather than just listing your skills. With this advice, you may
write an effective and efficient cover letter.

Additionally, you must remove redundant and irrelevant material because


it has no bearing on patient care.

4. Style and Genre


Always be formal while writing letters to other professionals. It would be
best if you composed a note in the appropriate genre and style for the
Writing subtest, representing this. You must know what formal writing
looks like and how to write it to accomplish this. Knowing how to speak in
the appropriate register and tone for your audience is necessary.

Using facts rather than opinions and opening and finishing the letter
appropriately is crucial for establishing the right Genre and Style.
Grammar can have a significant impact on how formal or informal you
seem.

5. Structure & Design


Your OET letter’s organisation will significantly impact your score because
each writing task’s organisation is unique.

The letter can be organised in various ways, but the two most popular
ones are chronological and thematic. It is crucial to avoid including less
critical information in the letter’s opening.

6. Language
The OET writing score greatly depends on how well you use the OET
language. Grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, and spelling are all applied
to your letter during this process.

Even native speakers may find it difficult to take a language evaluation


test. A different strategy is needed to perform better on exams than just
conversations or modules. To thoroughly comprehend the subject and
ace the test, it is typically advisable to learn from a scholar. Tiju’s
Academy offers offline and online programmes to fit your flexible
schedule. We are dedicated to helping our kids achieve by giving them
access to the best-skilled teachers.
