Maria18 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hi Could someone please explain the difference between the IELTS and the OET? I have been told to do one of them and have no idea which is best or more beneficial to me! I do have an agent but I am just looking to hear from someone who has done these tests! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you OET is specifically designed for Healthcare professionals so if you are a nurse/doctor, go ahead for this one as it is comparatively easier than IELTS. I'm a RN, but when I started my Immi process, OET was not yet into action so I ended up giving IELTS Academic three times and it was one nightmare. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria18 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Thank you, Pooja. I think I will be going for the OET. Do you know if this is still as recognised and accepted as the IELTS? Congrats on getting your visa by the way. Are you in Aus now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 When looking at what English test to do, you should consider whether your occupation requires English for the skills assessment, as this may differ to Immigration visa English requirements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria18 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Thank you Raul. I am a registered Mental Health Nurse. I have been informed by my agent that I will need to do the English test to increase my points as I don't have enough without it. (In total after English test, I will have 70 points), and hoping for either 190 or 491 regional visa in VIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read so many posts here from people with English degrees, who've struggled to get a good mark on the English tests. It sounds like your mark for the English test will be do-or-die for your chances of migration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OET is just equivalent to the other English language tests. Also, I'm offshore and I have lodged my Visa Application in March, 2020, still waiting for the grant.
