Why prepare with Leonor Language School
OET questions
What level do I need to start?
About B2 (upper-intermediate). If you are not sure, take our free English level test or message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly whether to start with OET Prep or a general English level first.
How long will it take to reach grade B?
It depends on where you start and which sub-tests you need. Many candidates need one to three parts (10-30 hours). After your initial assessment we give you a realistic plan.
Do you teach both Nursing and Medicine?
Yes. Listening and Reading are the same for every profession; Speaking and Writing are practised with tasks for your own profession.
Can I take only Speaking or only Writing?
Yes. Pay as you go at $45 per hour and we focus only on the sub-tests you need.
How much does OET Prep cost?
The initial assessment is $25 (60 minutes). After that, pay as you go at $45 per hour, or take the full 30-hour program, paid as three 10-hour modules: $425 per module by credit card ($1,275 in total), or $400 per module by bank transfer or Revolut ($1,200 in total) — a 6% saving.
Are you an official OET centre?
No. We are an independent school that prepares candidates for the test. You book the exam itself with OET, at a test centre or with OET@Home.
Do you have a self-study option?
Yes. OET Self-Study gives you 60 days of online practice for a one-time payment of $59: practice tests, mock exams, writing tasks with model letters, speaking role-plays and skill drills. You can add teacher marking, a speaking mock or live classes whenever you want. Try a free sample first, no account needed.
