OET Writing 

Common Mistake #3: Lack of Conciseness and Clarity

Word Count Exceeds 200

• Writing that is too lengthy can dilute the message.

Inclusion of Irrelevant Information

• Unnecessary details can obscure key points and confuse the reader.

Information Not Clearly Summarized

• Failing to summarize essential details can lead to misunderstanding.

Tips to Avoid This Mistake:

Utilize the First Five Minutes Effectively:

• Underline selected case notes and plan the paragraphs of the letter.
• Eliminate irrelevant notes that the reader doesn’t need to know, including:
  • Information the reader already knows.
  • Details not required for continued care or the letter’s purpose.

Provide Details Only When Necessary:

• Avoid creating separate paragraphs for every visit - group changes logically.
• Summarize information succinctly without unnecessary elaboration.
