How is OET Conducted and Evaluated?
OET consists of four sub-tests:
Listening (approximately 45 minutes)
Reading (60 minutes)
Writing (45 minutes)
Speaking ( 20 minutes)
For each of the four sub-tests that make up OET, candidates receive a numerical score from 0-500 in 10-point increments e.g. 350,360, 370. The numeric score is mapped to a separate letter grade, ranging from A (highest) to E (lowest). There is no overall grade for OET.
