This video was filmed to help candidates familiarise themselves with the format of the Speaking sub-test. In this video you will see an OET Nursing candidate and an interlocutor undertaking one of the Speaking role-plays. (Note: Please find the feedback below)

While this was filmed for educational purposes, and there is no grade given, we have feedback for this video located here:

Feedback for Sample test 2:

The candidate is generally easy to understand, and stress and intonation are used well to show empathy. She demonstrates fluent speech at normal speed, but with some repetition. Her register, tone and lexis are mostly appropriate and occasional errors in grammar are not intrusive. She introduces herself and shows empathy for the parent’s feelings about the delay. She is sympathetic and non-judgemental throughout the interview. She encourages the parent to describe the symptoms but could explore these more effectively by using specific questions and active listening techniques. She explains the procedure clearly, picking up on the patient’s feelings of anxiety and reassuring her.
