Why Indian doctors struggle with OET writing
Medical training in India develops exhaustive documentation habits — because Indian clinical practice values comprehensive records. Doctors instinctively include extensive history, investigations, and background. OET Writing rewards the opposite: letters written for a specific reader with a specific need. Most Indian doctor candidates need to learn to edit aggressively, not write more carefully.

Clinical logic review
We check if you have selected the relevant case notes for the specific reader.
A teacher on every letter
Your letter is corrected by an experienced educator against the six OET criteria.
Corrections identify the exact patterns that hold doctors back from Grade B.
"The single most common issue with Indian medical graduates is information overload. They write letters that demonstrate deep clinical knowledge but fail the OET purpose criterion — they do not communicate clearly why they are writing and what the reader needs to do. This is a professional communication adjustment, not a language problem, and our corrections address it directly."

The 6 areas your letter is assessed against
Your letter is marked across six criteria by trained examiners. Our corrections assess every criterion and explain precisely where you are losing marks.
Purpose & Content
Has the right information been selected for the specific reader? This is the criterion where most marks are lost.
Conciseness & Clarity
Is information presented efficiently without unnecessary detail? Brevity and precision are rewarded equally.
Genre & Text Organisation
Does the letter follow the expected professional structure — opening, body, and closing — used in clinical correspondence?
Vocabulary
Is clinical and professional vocabulary used accurately and appropriately for the reader and context?
Grammar
Are grammar structures used correctly and with appropriate complexity for formal professional writing?
Spelling & Punctuation
Are spelling and punctuation accurate throughout? Errors here signal a lack of proofreading to examiners.
Common questions from doctors
Answers specific to your profession and your pathway from India.
Do I need OET or IELTS for GMC registration?
The GMC accepts both OET and IELTS Academic. OET is preferred by many Indian doctors because it uses clinically relevant content — medical case notes, referral scenarios — rather than academic texts, making preparation more directly applicable to medical practice.
What is the minimum OET score for GMC registration?
The GMC requires a minimum of Grade B (350/500) across all four OET sub-tests. Some NHS trusts require Grade B+ (400) for specialty training posts. We track your score progression across corrections to help you gauge readiness.
What are the most common OET writing mistakes Indian doctors make?
The top three we see are: over-inclusion of clinical history, unclear purpose statements (not leading with why you are writing), and formal language that reads as bureaucratic rather than professionally neutral. Our corrections address each of these with specific rewrite examples.
Student Success
"I kept including too much clinical history. The correction literally showed me what to delete and explained why the reader does not need that information. Passed GMC OET on my second attempt."
