Who created this OET vocabulary list?
It was built by First Academy, whose trainers are the authors of published OET preparation books — the words, meanings, and example sentences are written for how nurses actually speak on the ward, not generic dictionary definitions.
How many words are in OET Vocabulary Level 1?
Level 1 has 200 words, covering general OET nursing vocabulary across categories like healthcare roles, symptoms, medication, anatomy, and OET communication. Levels 2–6 follow the same format as they're released.
Do I need to log in to practice?
No. Learn and Practice are both open with no account or login — just visit the page and start.
How is this different from a general English dictionary?
Every word here is chosen and defined for OET nursing contexts specifically — with patient-friendly phrasing, nursing-use examples, and OET-style paraphrases, rather than the broader, non-clinical definitions a general dictionary gives.
