How we work this out

What it does

See how your Reading or Listening marks compare with OET's own figure for 350, or check official scores against NMC, GMC, Ahpra and visa minimums.

OET Reading and Listening practice marks out of 42, and official sub-test scores from 0 to 500 in steps of 10.

Method

  1. For practice marks, we compare your marks with OET's statement that Grade B (350) test takers typically get at least 30 of 42, and with two what-if lines at 28 and 32 marks.
  2. We never turn marks into a 0-500 score: OET publishes no conversion table and the line moves from paper to paper.
  3. For official scores, we give the letter grade only where a source prints its range (B is 350 to 440 and C+ is 300 to 340, as the NMC prints them).
  4. We then check your four scores against every published minimum we hold: the NMC, GMC and Ahpra, and Australia's vocational, competent, proficient and superior English.
