I Was Stuck at 360 in OET Reading… Until I Did THIS to Score 460 in 2025
Struggling with OET Reading? You’re not alone. Many healthcare professionals — doctors, nurses, and pharmacists — find themselves stuck around 300–360 scores in OET Reading. That was me too.
No matter how much I practiced, my score wouldn’t go beyond 360. But in 2025, I finally discovered the real strategies that changed everything. Using specific exam hacks, mindset shifts, and smart drills, I improved my score to 460 in OET Reading.
Here’s exactly how I did it 👇
✅ Why I Was Stuck at 360
- I wasted too much time on difficult questions.
- I didn’t understand how examiners paraphrase answers.
- I didn’t practice enough under time pressure.
- I lacked a clear system for Part B & C.
Sound familiar? Then this guide is for you.
✅ My Step-by-Step Strategy to Reach 460
- Improve Skimming & Scanning Speed
Quickly move across the passage to spot key terms instead of re-reading the entire text. - Decode Synonyms in Part B & C
If the question says “treatment was initiated,” the passage might say “therapy was started.” Always watch for synonyms. - Practice Like It’s the Real Exam
Train under actual time limits. Only then will you develop the pace needed to finish all parts. - Use Smart OET-Style Drills
Don’t waste time with random IELTS/OET books. Practice only with authentic exam-style materials. - Mindset Shift: Don’t Fear Hard Questions
In my exam, I treated each question as if I were consulting a real patient — this calm mindset stopped panic and helped me focus.
✅ Common Mistakes You Must Avoid
❌ Spending too long on one passage.
❌ Looking for “exact word matches” instead of paraphrases.
❌ Ignoring time pressure during practice.
❌ Writing full notes instead of keywords.
✅ Bonus Hack That Made the Difference
The biggest mistake I fixed: I stopped trying to be 100% sure before moving on.
If I wasn’t certain, I picked the best option and moved forward. This one shift alone saved me 10+ minutes in the test.
