Doctors - OET Scores & Registration in the UK

 

OET Scoring  - Doctors

 

It is quite simple to understand the scoring requirements for doctors, when it comes to OET.

 

The General Medical Council in the UK expects doctors to score the following:

 

Listening	Reading	Writing	Speaking
350 / B	350 / B	350 / B	350 / B

Also, you need to follow the below:

• take the medicine version of the test
• your grades must be achieved in the same test
• your grades must be from your most recent sitting of the test.

Your OET results are valid for up to two years. If they are over two years old, you can submit a reference to support your application.
