Question 1 of 5
You re-read your opening sentence after finishing a practice letter. Which sounds most like what you wrote?
ASomething like “I am writing to inform you about a patient who was recently admitted…”
BA strong first sentence, but my letter ran well over 200 words by the end.
CI wrote it quickly, but looking back I am not sure if it sounds professional or too casual.
DI did not have time to re-read it — I was still writing when the time ran out.
Question 2 of 5
You look back at a completed practice letter. What is the first problem you notice?
AThe reader would need to get to the third paragraph to understand what I am actually asking.
BI included almost everything from the case notes because I was not sure what to leave out.
CSome sentences sound formal and some sound like I am talking to a friend.
DThe ending feels rushed and incomplete — I ran out of time before I could finish properly.
Question 3 of 5
Your practice letter comes back with feedback. Which comment do you dread seeing most?
A“Purpose not immediately apparent to the reader.”
B“Irrelevant information included — poor selection of content from case notes.”
C“Register inconsistent — shifts between formal and informal throughout.”
D“Response incomplete” or “Letter not finished within the time allowed.”
Question 4 of 5
You sit down to write a practice letter. What happens in the first five minutes?
AI spend a long time on the first sentence because I do not know how to open the letter.
BI start writing and everything in the case notes feels too important to leave out.
CI write the opening quickly, then stop — I am not sure whether to write formally or more directly.
DI jump straight in, then realise halfway through I have not planned and time is already running short.
Question 5 of 5
Which of these best describes your biggest challenge with OET Writing right now?
AI know what I want to say, but I cannot seem to get to the point quickly enough.
BI always go over the word limit — I find it hard to decide what to cut.
CI understand the task but I am not always confident that my language sounds professional enough.
DI know what to write but I never finish comfortably within 45 minutes.
