OET marks are calculated by using a detailed grading system and not a numerical score. For each of the four sub-tests of OET test (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking), there is graded from A (the highest) to E (the lowest). Each grade corresponds to a numerical score range:
- For example "B" is 350 to 440.
These individual sub-test grades are then combined to give your overall OET result, which reflects your communication ability in a healthcare context.

The four sub-tests that make up the OET are reported on a scale from 0 to 500 in ten-point increments (e.g. 210, 220, 230, etc.). The numerical score will be mapped to a separate letter grade for each sub-test ranging from A (the highest) to E (the lowest). There is no overall grade for OET.
