Reading and Listening mock tests

Before you start

The introduction page shows how many questions the test has, the minutes for each part, and the format of the OET Reading or Listening sub-test it follows. Sit it in one go, somewhere quiet.

• Reading: each part has its own clock. When you finish a part you cannot go back to it.
• Listening: use headphones. Play each recording once, as in the test, and read the questions before you press play.
• Typed answers must be spelled correctly, as in the test.

The clock and saving

Your answers are saved as you go. If the page closes, open the same link to carry on: the clock keeps running. When the last clock runs out, the test is handed in for you.

Your result

You get your mark out of the test total, your marks for each part and for each question type, and an explanation for every question. The result page notes that OET says candidates awarded Grade B typically achieve at least 30 marks out of 42 in Reading or Listening, and compares your mark with it. Your sittings are saved, and the list shows your best mark. Marks also appear on your progress page.
