While both exams evaluate your knowledge of the English language, IELTS examines your general proficiency in the language. OET, on the other hand, assesses your ability to communicate effectively in English in a healthcare setting, with a focus on profession-specific material.

 

• The OET has 12 versions for various healthcare professions, including nurses, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, optometrists, podiatrists, occupational therapists, veterinarians, speech pathologists, dieticians, physiotherapists, and radiographers, as opposed to the two IELTS exam versions (Academic & General Training).

• The OET test is graded from A (highest) to E, while the IELTS test is graded from 1 (lowest) to 9 (highest) (lowest).

• IELTS is acknowledged by universities, regulatory bodies, immigration authorities, and businesses all throughout the world.
