OET Score Converter
Enter an OET sub-test score to see the approximate grade, CEFR level and equivalent IELTS band.
How Your Score Is Calculated
OET reports a score and grade for each of the four sub-tests separately, with no averaged overall result. Listening and Reading are marked objectively; Writing and Speaking are each marked by trained assessors against published criteria. Equivalences to IELTS are approximate and set by each accepting body.
Objective marking of note-completion and multiple-choice answers.
Objective marking across expeditious and careful reading tasks.
Purpose, content, conciseness, genre and style, organisation, and language.
Intelligibility, fluency, appropriateness and resources of grammar and expression, plus clinical communication criteria.
How It Works
Enter a single sub-test score from 0 to 500 (each skill is graded on its own).
The score is mapped to its OET grade and CEFR level.
See the rough IELTS band it lines up with - useful when a university lists IELTS but accepts OET.
