OET Exam Pattern

Timing: Single composite 32-minute timer for both texts combined: no sectional lock.

The official OET Reading sub-test has three parts sharing 60 minutes total: Part A (20 items in 15 minutes, matching, short answer, and sentence completion, all typed rather than multiple choice), Part B (6 short texts, one 3-option multiple-choice question each), and Part C (2 longer texts of around 800 words, 8 4-option multiple-choice questions each), with Parts B and C sharing a combined 45-minute allocation. This mock covers only Part C, the only part in the 4-option multiple-choice format this site supports: Part A is typed short-answer and matching rather than multiple choice, and Part B uses 3 answer options rather than 4. This mock matches the full official Part C question count (16 questions) with a proportional 32-minute duration estimate, since Parts B and C are not timed separately in the official test. Reading is identical across all 12 OET professions (nursing, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and others); only the Writing and Speaking sub-tests are profession-specific. There is no negative marking. This mock shows your raw score; the official test reports a scaled 0-500 score instead.
