2. What is OET Role-Play?
• OET Speaking sub-test includes
role-plays in which candidates
are required to play roles
specifically according to their
profession. In each role-play,
candidate plays the role
according to their profession
while the interlocutor will play
the role of a client, patient or
sometimes patient’s career or
relative.

3. Avoid one word or short answers
• Avoid answering in one
word or short
sentences as they tend
to stop the
conversation. Always
speak about what you
have been asked to in
detail.

4. Clear your doubts
• After you have read
what the role-play is,
clear your doubts if you
have any before the
role-play starts. You can
ask the examiner if you
have not understood
anything or clarify your
doubts.

5. Take notes
• You can take notes on card
if required. There are
usually 4-5 points which
you need to cover. You can
write down important
details or information
which you think can be
used while you are playing
a role.

6. Maintain eye-contact
• Maintain proper eye-contact
with the examiner. It makes
you look confident about
yourself. Usually candidates
who are nervous look here
and there and it becomes
difficult for the examiner to
understand your feelings and
what you are saying.

7. Be the first to start
• Do not rely on the
interlocutor to start the
conversation. He is just the
person who participates in
the conversation. It should
be you to start the
conversation. Even if you
think your conversation is
going slow, you should take
an initiative to bring it back
to life.
