Differences between IELTS & OET

• If a candidate appears for IELTS and does not attain the required score, he/she will have to appear for the whole exam again, whereas, in OET, the candidate needs to repeat only the failed module. The fees will be levied for that particular module only.
• OET, being a profession based English exam, it deals only with Medical topics. [I.e. for Nurses, nursing related topics, for physiotherapists, physiotherapy related topics, for Pharmacists pharmacy related subjects, etc.] Thus the exam is easier than IELTS, where they have questions based on general topics.
