WAYS TO IMPROVE READING SKILLS FOR NURSES DOING OET OET is the bridge to fulfilling the dreams of many Indian nurses who want to work in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and many more. This test is profession specific which makes it a better examination compared to other tests for both the students and healthcare assessors to ensure that the candidates applying for certain jobs are well qualified up to the expected standards of safety and practice. The OET is similar to the IELTS examination as it has four modules namely reading, writing, speaking and listening. There are no marks given for the modules but the examination results are given out in grades. The passing standard for the OET Examination is at least a B grade in all the four modules. The only exception is Dubai, which accepts a C grade and offers jobs to nurses in its kingdom.
In order to score well at the reading module, the below mentioned tips can prove very helpful when followed.  Practice reading beyond the test material- Many students focus on practicing reading only from the test material provided to them by their coaching institutes or what they find in the online test preparation packs. However, doing just this is not enough as the examination assess the overall understanding of the candidate in English. To improve in this matter, make good use of the articles that appear in different forms on various topics like current affairs, science or health. You can also make reading your daily habit and read English texts from your own favorite website or magazines. It is not merely enough to read what is given in the paragraphs of articles, reviewing is also vital to understanding. Ask yourself questions and try to summarize in a line or two the central thought given in the paragraph and the motive of the writer.  Develop the right knack for each part of the reading subtest- the three parts of the reading subtest checks for different skills so one must be prepared to skim in the A part and to read carefully the meaning of each sentence in the next two parts. To improve in this part, you can use text books with summary points or even an index which lists down main points of a particular article or a chapter.
