HOW IT WORKS
Write. Get marked in seconds. Know where you stand.
01
Write against real clinical scenarios
Timed practice letters from case notes in an authentic clinical layout. Every case note is clinician reviewed before it goes live.
02
Marked in seconds, criterion by criterion
All six published OET Writing criteria, a predicted band, and three specific fixes that quote your own words. Two independent AI passes, not a single guess.
03
Know if you are on track for grade B
Every attempt updates a readiness estimate per subtest, trending to the 350 line by your exam date. The question 'am I ready?' always has an answer.

FOCUS HERE: CONTENT
The case notes ask the district nurse to monitor blood glucose during recovery, but the letter only reports that it has remained stable during the admission. The reader is never asked to act, which costs a band.
Next: Turn every action the case notes call for into a direct request to the reader.

Dear Ms Nair, Re: Mrs Edna Whitfield, aged 71 I am writing to refer Mrs Whitfield, who is being discharged today following treatment for community-acquired pneumonia, and who requires district nursing follow-up at home.

THE LETTER
Dear Ms Alvarez,
Re: Mr Daniel Okafor, DOB 14 March 1958
I am referring Mr Okafor, who was discharged today following treatment for an infected left forefoot ulcer, for community diabetes nursing review and ongoing wound care.
Mr Okafor was admitted on 28 July with a two-week history of an ulcer beneath the left first metatarsal head. Wound swabs grew Staphylococcus aureus, and he completed seven days of intravenous flucloxacillin before switching to oral therapy, which continues until 11 August. The ulcer is now clean, with granulation tissue present and no surrounding cellulitis.
His diabetes has been poorly controlled, with an HbA1c of 86 mmol/mol on admission. His insulin regimen was adjusted during this admission, and he reports difficulty with self-injection because of reduced dexterity in both hands.
Please could you review the wound twice weekly, monitor his capillary blood glucose, and assess his injection technique, arranging occupational therapy input if you consider it necessary. He has been advised not to bear weight on the left foot and has been issued with a removable cast walker.
Thank you for your assistance. Please contact me if you require any further information.
Yours sincerely,
Dr A Chen
Registrar, Diabetes and EndocrinologyPURPOSE 3/3
The opening sentence names the patient, the reason for writing and what is being asked for. The reader knows within one line why this letter has reached them.
CONTENT 6/7
Every clinical fact here is one the community nurse will act on: the organism, the date the antibiotic ends, the state of the wound, the HbA1c, the difficulty injecting. Nothing is included merely because it happened.
CONCISENESS AND CLARITY 6/7
The whole admission is summarised in three sentences. There is no history included that the receiving clinician cannot use.
GENRE AND STYLE 6/7
Requests are written as requests, not instructions. Asking the nurse to arrange therapy input if she considers it necessary leaves the clinical judgement where it belongs.
ORGANISATION AND LAYOUT 6/7
One paragraph per job: why you are being written to, what happened, the diabetes picture, then what is being asked. The reader can find any one of those without rereading.
LANGUAGE 6/7
Accurate throughout, with clinical vocabulary used correctly. Two sentences run long enough that a reader skimming on a ward could lose the thread, and that is the gap between this and full marks.
THREE THINGS THIS LETTER DOES THAT MOST DO NOT
- It asks, it does not only report. Most letters describe an admission and stop. This one names three specific things the reader should do.
- It leaves things out. The entire admission is three sentences. Anything the community nurse cannot act on is not in the letter.
- It gives dates that can be acted on. Naming the day the antibiotic ends is worth more to the reader than naming the day it started.

WHO IS BEHIND THIS
Built by a UK based IMG doctor who came through this pathway himself.
It exists because prep for the hardest subtests, Writing and Speaking, still runs on days-long turnaround and generic feedback. Clinical scenarios are grounded in real referral pathways, fictionalised and reviewed by a clinician before you ever see them.
How the marking is tested, and its honest limits, are published in the open. How the marking is checked.
