However, some people will just always feel more comfortable picking up a pencil and writing something out by hand.<br>In many hospital environments, medical professionals still use paper-based charts and other materials every day, and nurses talk to real patients in their workplace environments, not computers. Many nurses have come to us and complained about how strange and uncomfortable it felt to talk at a computer in exams like the PTE, and how they felt they would have done much better interacting with a human being.<br>Because the OET is paper-based and uses human examiners to test speaking, E2 Language students coming from nursing backgrounds often consider it the ideal test. The u201ctraditionalu201d format sets them at ease, and this (combined with the familiar vocabulary and content) boosts their confidence quite a bit. One thing we definitely know from experience is that a little confidence goes a long way.<br>If youu2019re a nurse and youu2019re intimidated by English proficiency tests like TOEFL, or undecided over PTE or OET, the OET is probably a great option for you.<br> <br><br>
