How to sit it
- Listening, then Reading. Sit both in one block with no pauses. Use the exam mode link, not the practice-by-part pages, so the timers and the once-only audio apply.
- Writing. Read the case notes for five minutes, then write the letter in 40 minutes. Run the free writing checker afterwards for the first check.
- Speaking. Take the 3-minute preparation, then talk to the AI patient. Choose a card from the role-play cards for doctors or use the free one above.
- Score it. Put your Listening and Reading raw marks into the score calculator to see an estimated range, then compare it with the line your regulator sets.
For all four back to back with one result screen, use the timed full mock; your first attempt is free with email sign-in.
What is specific to doctors
Medicine Writing tasks are letters a doctor really writes: 27 referral, 10 transfer, 9 advice, 8 discharge, 4 update. Speaking cards are consultations such as starting treatment with a reluctant patient.
Listening Part A consultations and Reading Part A texts are the same for every profession, so a doctor and a nurse sit the same first two papers.
The bank holds 58 medicine Writing tasks and 70 medicine Speaking cards. Start with a referral letter, the most common type:
- Urgent referral to a gastroenterologist: iron-deficiency anaemia and rectal bleeding
- Urgent referral to a rheumatologist: suspected rheumatoid arthritis
- Urgent referral to a dermatologist: suspected melanoma
- Referral to a neurologist: first witnessed tonic-clonic seizure

After the mock
A mock score is a practice estimate, not an OET result. Look at the weakest sub-test first and repeat only that part: Listening Part A, Reading Part A, or the what to do if you did not reach your line page. Where you need the score for registration, check the exact line on the requirements page.
Questions candidates ask
Is the OET mock test for doctors really free?
Listening and Reading Test 1 and Test 2 are free with no account. One marked Writing letter and one saved AI Speaking role-play are free after email sign-in, and one AI role-play works on a device without an account. Further full tests need a practice pass.
How long is a full OET mock test for doctors?
Listening takes about 40 minutes, Reading 60 minutes, Writing 45 minutes (5 reading, 40 writing) and Speaking about 20 minutes with two role-plays. On the computer-based test, Listening, Reading and Writing are sat together and Speaking is booked separately.
Is the mock different for doctors?
Only Writing and Speaking. Listening and Reading are the same for all 12 professions, so doctors use medicine case notes and medicine role-play cards for those two parts.
What score should I aim for?
Most regulators ask for about 350 (grade B) in each sub-test, but the line depends on who receives your result. Check it on the requirements page before you decide you are ready.
Where do I find more medicine tasks?
The bank has 58 medicine Writing tasks, each with case notes, and a set of medicine Speaking cards; each task page shows what to include and what to leave out.
