🗣️ How is the speaking component of OET assessed?
🎙️ The speaking sub-test in OET is evaluated by reviewing the recorded audio of the test taker’s performance.
✅ A minimum of two trained OET Assessors independently assess the speaking sub-test.
❌ Each Assessor is unaware of the scores given by the other Assessor or the candidate’s scores in other sub-tests.
📝 The test day interlocutor does not participate in assessing the candidate’s performance.
👀 OET Assessors focus on targeted and specific judgments, assessing how well the candidate responds to the given task on the test day.
📍 They use specific assessment criteria that reflect the communication requirements in a healthcare professional setting. It is important to note that OET evaluates English-language skills, not professional knowledge.
