OET Reading Practice: Parts A, B & C
OET Reading practice on OET Practice helps you rehearse the Reading sub-test with timed passages and instant feedback. You will work through Part A fast-location tasks, Part B workplace texts, and Part C longer-article questions in formats designed for healthcare English preparation. Results are practice feedback (including practice A–E bands where shown) — not official OET scores. OET Practice is an independent platform and is not affiliated with OET.
What is in OET Reading?
| Part | Texts | Task |
|---|---|---|
| Part A | Four short texts, one topic | Complete a summary, fast |
| Part B | Six short workplace texts | Multiple choice (A, B or C) |
| Part C | Two longer articles | Multiple choice (A–D), opinion and inference |
How practice works here
Practise the full sub-test or a single part against the clock. Answers are marked instantly with explanations, and your dashboard breaks down accuracy by part and question type — so a Part B detail-trap problem shows up separately from Part C inference gaps.
Always confirm timing and rules on the official OET website — official requirements can change.
Reading preparation tips
- In Part A, read the summary first, then scan — never read all four texts fully.
- In Part B, answer from the text, not from professional knowledge.
- In Part C, watch for attitude and purpose questions, not just facts.
- Eliminate distractors: two options are usually half-right.
- Keep moving — an unanswered question and a wrong one cost the same.
- Review mistakes by type in your dashboard, then re-drill that part.
