Thirty days is a short period that is mainly useful for revision and improving specific skills. Before you start, ask which sections are your strongest, which need more practice, and whether you can realistically reach your target score in one month. If underprepared, choose a later OET date.
A 30-day OET plan is mainly useful for revision and improving specific skills, so your goals need to be realistic. It starts when you book your test and choose an exam date that fits your preparation.
Questions to Ask Before You Start
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Which sections are my strongest? | Shows where you can save time |
| Which sections need more practice? | Shows where to focus your effort |
| Can I realistically reach my target score in one month? | Helps you decide if 30 days is enough |
Choosing Your Exam Date
- Book your test and pick an exam date that lines up with your preparation.
- If you feel underprepared, choose a date that gives you more study time.
- Choosing a sensible date beats rushing in underprepared.
My Advice
Be honest about where you stand today. If one month does not feel enough, move your date instead of cramming. Check the official OET page for current test dates and rules.
