The transcript of the whole role-play is located here: bit.ly/2ZyS38t
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 1:
The candidate’s pronunciation is easy to understand, and she has a wide range of vocabulary and grammatical expression used generally accurately to communicate appropriately. She speaks fluently with only natural hesitation. She demonstrates mostly appropriate register, tone and lexis for the situation and the patient. She uses a mixture of medical and lay terms as necessary, but she should avoid using the medical term ‘anterior acute myocardial infarct’, rather than ‘heart attack’ with the patient. She clarifies the situation, reassures the patient and uses active listening and appropriate information-gathering techniques. She sequences the interview purposefully and logically.
Did you know we have a free preparation page? And that you can purchase a feedback voucher?

1.I think introduction by Dr is must. 2.avoid medical jargon (AMI) 3.when patient shows concern, must show empathy. 4.reassure whenever required.

[@hsb3001]

Exactly she never introduced herself

[@Topushpal1]

I don't think it matters much in this context. It's a language evaluation wherein you're scored on your vocabulary more than those little things which are considered in licensing exams. Whether you wish to introduce yourself, is purely subjective matter.

[@gunayt-va4890]

help me plese i want to start prepare to oet.can you give me advise?

[@9841732181]

It seems this pt is already know to the doctor

[@annmariya4081]

[@kennedyonwu3582]

[@pmxrusm40]

It's OET Sample speaking test 1 from the official webpages

[@itzBarto]

Who is here after the ECFMG notification that Step 2 CS got suspended for good? (:D

[@Feanor1992]

The lady playing the doctor definitely had an English Speaking background yet even she ran a few problems with her fluency. I'd sound like a typewriter choking on its own sounds come the exam. Nothing gets one as nervous as speaking English.

[@SollizCreationz]

haha same..how did your exam go? all the best

[@elkammash]

Thank you very much. Please supply us with more of these videos

[@gibsonsibanda-w8f]

[@mehadesai6259]

Are vocabulary and grammar range become as important as in IELTS?

[@mohammedali-rh7cq]

1:44 she made a mistake, she said 2 weeks ago, but actually it is 4 days ago

[@thoughts6416]

Minor errors for 2 or 3 times are quiet acceptable!.... -Mentioned in official oet medicine book.

[@ahmedfarrag2972]

Is it normal for those who speak English well to mess up in the exam just because of nervousness??

[@OfficialOET]

[@letsdraw5217]

Would you please let me know what score does this candidate get from this task on average?

[@munkybiz6737]

Hamid Karimi Probably a B bordering on A.. could’ve been a definite A had she not struggled in the middle. Her fluency and intonation are quite good, though.

[@jincyjoseph3723]

[@uv_m234]

[@afifaamer5659]

Please can you provide role play sample for pharmacist?

[@sanashakeel3169]

What grade oet examiners will give this role play?

[@ahuman2954]

too much umhhh and argh she wil definitely get c grade

[@aleenas2459]

nice

[@allstuff5417]

I’m bothered by the ‘am’

[@noka5730]

Try and sit for the exam yourself and let's see how you're gonna do under pressure. Having a stutter is quite common, especially for foreign people. Her stutter probably wouldn't be that noticable if she wasn't sitting for a test.

[@AhmedAli-ky2sz]

Even the examiner has alot of 'am'

[@kairn6208]

@@noka5730 Exactly!

[@dede19833]

oh come on... I have been practising english since 12 years old... I got 6.5 speaking at IELTS; ( overall band 7) if this woman got a B / A, this is so unrealistic...

[@manzoorahmad8408]

The applicant apparently seem non medical person. Also, the examiner is doing most of the talking while the case should have been the opposite of it. After the heart attack there are lots of things which needs due addressing, you dummy, its risk of second heart attack, myocardial rupture and alteration of the life style due to psychological and physical stress which is put on post-hospital discharge patient. Repeated ECG, Echo, food intake modification and even angiography should be in the list of suggestions. To reconcile, getting back to normal or stressful activities is so hard for these patients. Also, the applicant is so poker faced, one should show some empathy and concern while talking such a deep inflicted issue of other human being. Examiner has played an amazing role.

[@niloofar4282]

😊 yes but the OET is not a medical test, and there's written subjects that you have to talk about and you're not allowed to just say whatever comes to your mind, if you look at the role play card for this applicant it says that she should reassure the patient and talk about cardiac rehabilitation. you dummy 😊

[@kwokhoelim8267]

I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of the OET exam. OET is an English exam meaning the applicant is judged solely on her proficiency of English and none at all about her medical knowledge. This is not a medical Clinical Skills examination. Thus, applicants are NOT required to show empathy or concern to the examiner. Calling her a dummy is just ironic.

[@Chiappi]

the test doesn't assess your medical knowledge, but your language and communication skills, you have to follow the cards.

[@haithemdhan2846]

You are very disrespectful...that says a lot about you..

[@tyler8744]

its an English test not MRCP test .you need to show some respect sir

[@dewoods6782]

Very poor
