Which test is easier for a nurse, OET or IELTS?

Answer 1

The two tests vary in difficulty depending on the person, in fact, it differs from person to person. The OET is easier in some ways because it is more specific to healthcare, so you can make use of your healthcare knowledge, vocabulary and experiences. This means that you'd find the writing and speaking portions of the test a little easier, as you'd be used to the situations provided. During the written test, you'll be asked to write a referral letter for a patient, and for the speaking test, you'll need to interact with the interlocutor, who will be playing the role of a patient/care provider/relative of the patient and this conversation will be recorded and sent to the examiner.
