OET REQUIREMENTS

What OET score does your regulator need?

Most healthcare regulators ask for OET grade B, a score of 350, in each of the four subtests, but the exact rule, and the flexibility around it, differs by body and changes over time. Pick your regulator for the details, and always confirm the current requirement on the regulator's own site before you book.
