Do OET HQ students actually clear? Here are the cards.
Every academy says students clear. Words are free. So this page works differently: the cards, the tracked numbers behind them, and how each one is counted.
One full Reading paper on the 2026 difficulty. No card, no call.

students who cleared the Clearance Mocks went on to pass the real OET.
Counted from result cards students send back, the same cards blurred on the wall below. Not a projection, not a survey: a card exists for each of the 837.

Every academy says students clear. No adjectives. Cards.
The numbers
And exactly how we count them
A number without a method is a decoration. Each one below comes with the way it was tracked, so you can judge it rather than trust it.
837 of 1,100
The Clearance Rule
Complete the programme, clear the Clearance Mocks, then sit the exam. Of the 1,100 who have done that, 837 passed.
How it is tracked
Every pass is a result card a student sent back, across more than 40 countries. The condition is explained on the Clearance Mocks page.

What that works out at
Rather more than three in four. We publish the fraction rather than the percentage, because a percentage without its denominator is a number you cannot check.
How it is tracked
837 divided by 1,100, rounded down. When the tracking moves, this page moves the same week.
~90%
Diagnostic accuracy
How often the free diagnostic score matches the real exam outcome.
How it is tracked
Diagnostic scores compared against the real results students report back.

Independent reviews on Trustpilot, where we cannot edit or delete anything.
The other 263 exist. Exam days have bad hours, sick mornings, frozen minds. We do not pretend otherwise, we publish the number they are part of, and we never use the word guarantee.
When the tracking moves, this page moves the same week. That is the only way a published number means anything.
A number that is always 100 is a number somebody polished. We would rather show you 837 of 1,100 that is true than 10 of 10 that is decoration.
The wall
Result cards, newest first
Every name, photograph, email address and candidate number is removed from the image file itself. Scores and dates stay, because the scores are the point.

Cards are redacted in the image files, not hidden with styling, and are published only with the student’s permission. First names only, never a full name.
Behind the cards
Three of the stories
Nineteen attempts
She failed nineteen times
Then she completed ten Clearance Mocks, cleared her Listening in one and a half months, and works today as a nurse in New Zealand.
Two years stuck
A carer in the UK, visa expiring
The seesaw of one sub-test up and another down. One month on the system, and the card read 360, 390, 370, 350. Four grade Bs.
Ten attempts
A neurologist
He did not suddenly learn English on attempt eleven. He changed the system around him, and cleared.
The full stories, with their blurred cards and every painful number, live on our education site.
Read the reviews we cannot touch
Trustpilot holds 122 of them, written by students, on a platform where we can edit nothing.
