, Introduction to OET Reading Sub-test
The topics are of generic healthcare interest and are therefore accessible to candidates across all
professions. The Reading sub-test contains three parts and a total of 42 question items, Part A
accounts for 20 marks, Part B accounts for 6 marks and Part C accounts for 16 marks. All three parts
take a total of 60 minutes to complete. You will not be given extra time at the end of the sub-test to
check your answers, and it is up to you to manage your time. The test is designed so that the time
available is enough for you to read, choose your answers, and check your work.
Part A – 15 minutes
Reading Part A tests your ability to skim and scan quickly across different texts on a given topic in
order to locate specific information. For that purpose, Part A is strictly timed and you must complete
all 20 question items within the allocated 15 minutes. To complete the task successfully, you will also
need to understand the conventions of different medical text types and understand the presentation of
numerical and textual information. The 20 questions consist of matching, sentence completion and
short answer questions.
Part B and Part C – 45 minutes
Part B
Part B assesses your ability to identify the detail or main point of six short texts sourced from the
healthcare workplace. The texts might consist of extracts from policy documents, hospital guidelines,
manuals or internal communications, such as emails or memos. For each text, there is one three-
option multiple-choice question. To complete the task successfully, you will need to identify specific
ideas at sentence level.
Part C
Part C assesses your ability to identify detailed meaning and opinion in two texts on topics of interest
to healthcare professionals. For each text, you must answer eight four-option multiple choice
questions. Reading Part C tests your ability to understand the explicit or implied meaning as well as
the attitude or opinion presented in a longer text. To complete the task successfully, you will need to
identify the relationship between ideas at sentence and paragraph level. Part C also tests your ability
to accurately understand lexical references and complex phrases within the text.
