The real test, section by section

Before anything else, know the shape and the size of the paper you are sitting. Most people who underperform were not short of English — they were surprised by the format.

The single most important line on this page. In IELTS, the listening audio is played once only. There is no replay and no pause. Practising exclusively with a replay button builds a habit that will fail you on test day — which is exactly why this module has an Exam mode toggle in the header. Use it for at least every third attempt.

🎯 Full-length OET Nursing mock exam

84 marked items · timed · audio plays once · marked instantly with explanations

Paper 1

The complete paper, built to the structure above: Listening 42 items across two consultations, six workplace extracts and two presentations. Reading 42 items with Part A enforced at 15 minutes. A referral letter from case notes. Two speaking role-plays with preparation timers. Twelve minutes of original audio.

Sit it properly or not at all. Every recording plays once. The clock runs. Your answers save as you go, so you can be interrupted — but do not replay, do not look up answers, and do not stop the timer. A mock you cheat on tells you something comforting and false.

What this tells a nurse. Look at the writing rows. IELTS asks for two pieces — one of them describing a chart or graph, which has nothing to do with your job. OET asks for one piece: a referral letter from case notes, which is a task you already perform. That single difference is the strongest practical argument for choosing OET where your board accepts it.
Verify before you book. Formats, item counts and timings were checked in July 2026 and do change. Confirm the current structure with the official provider — ielts.org or oet.com — and confirm which tests your state Board of Nursing accepts.
