Описание: If you want to know exactly what examiners look for in OET writing, this episode is for you. In this podcast, OET teachers Scott and Una break down the six OET writing criteria and show you how to apply them to referral and discharge letters so you can improve your marks in OET practice tests, OET mock exams, and the real OET exam. This episode is practical, exam-focused, and ideal for OET for nurses and OET for doctors preparing efficiently for the OET exam.

You will learn how each criterion is scored and what to change in your letters to get higher marks: purpose, content, conciseness and clarity, genre and style, organisation and layout, and language. The guidance includes real examples and clear actions you can practise today.
