Quick answer: pick your profession below and two free OET Writing cases open on that page, each with the case notes and the writing task laid out as the exam lays them out. Every case is written fresh for 2026. No email, no form, no gate.

Almost every candidate practises Writing on the same recycled case notes, and those notes were built for an exam that has since moved. They are thinner than the current paper, and they are nearly always referral letters, so candidates arrive fluent in one letter type and improvise the rest. Transfers, reports, letters to a GP, explanations and complaint responses are all examined too.

Midwifery is not in this list yet. That set is being written, and it appears here the day it is finished.

How to use them

Write under real conditions. Five minutes reading, forty minutes writing, no dictionary, a body of 180 to 200 words. Then mark yourself against the six criteria the exam uses, not against how the letter feels to you.

The systems that carry all of it are free on this site: the complete Writing guide with the Criteria Map, the letter structure, and the sentence system.

The loop that actually moves a Writing score

Writing is the one sub test you cannot mark yourself. You cannot see your own mistakes, which is why they repeat for attempt after attempt. Write the free case, send the letter for correction, read what comes back, write the next one. That loop is what moves a 300 to a 380.
