Questions
What does the code in the book do?
The code on the last page opens this book's tasks in the Clodia app for 6 months, with 5 free marked letters. One code per account. This extra may be changed or withdrawn; the book works on its own.
Is this book only for nurses?
Yes. Writing and Speaking are different for each OET profession, so every task in this book is written for nurses. Clodia has separate books for other professions.
Are the tasks the same as the ones in the app?
No. The book has its own new tasks, written for the book and checked for clinical accuracy and for the OET format before printing.
Is this an official OET book?
No. Clodia is not affiliated with OET or Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment. The book follows the published OET format so the practice feels like the real test.
Where can I buy it?
