Match the document to the booking
Check the name, date of birth, photograph and validity of the ID you intend to present. OET requires the document used for the booking to match the one presented on test day. Its accepted-ID rules contain country and test-mode exceptions, so read the official identification page below rather than assuming that any photo card will do.
Locate every appointment
For paper, the venue sends the timetable before the test. For computer or at-home appointments, check your booking confirmation and the OET account. Make a private checklist of the location, date, local time and instructions for each component. A practice reminder on your phone is not your official test timetable.
Check items against your own instructions
Use your confirmation and venue instructions to decide which writing materials and other items to bring. Do not rely on a forum checklist from another delivery mode. Keep valuables and unnecessary devices out of your test-day plan. If something essential is unclear, ask the venue or OET before leaving home. We do not publish a universal pencil, headphone or arrival-time rule because your instructions are the relevant source.
If something is missing
If the paper timetable has not arrived one week before the test, check inbox and junk folders and contact the selected venue. Its contact information is available through the official OET booking directory. For other examination issues, start with OET Support. Have your booking details available when contacting the official team; do not post identity documents in public communities.
Finish preparation with one familiar routine
Use a free timed Reading test to rehearse reading instructions and working without interruptions. Afterwards review a few errors and decide what you will do differently. For a changed appointment, see rescheduling and cancellation. Practice passes provide more preparation separately from your examination booking.
