OET 2.0 Writing Determine the Writing Task from Case Notes

Understanding the purpose of the letter is a key skill in the OET Writing sub-test. Before writing, candidates must carefully analyse the case notes to determine why the letter is being written and who the intended reader is.

This multiple-choice activity helps learners practise identifying the correct writing purpose from short case-note summaries. By selecting the correct option, students develop the ability to recognise whether a task requires a referral, discharge, advice, or support request.

Practising this skill improves task fulfilment and comprehension of stimulus, which are important assessment criteria in the OET Writing exam.
