    Combining 2 exam scores - what you must know!

    by Paul Craven August 30, 2019

    For more information on the NMC's accepted English tests, check out our article here

    What is 'banking'?

    In order to make the registration process more accessible for applicants, the NMC started accepting a combination of two separate IELTS or OET tests. It can be really useful for some applicants who don’t get the required score in one test but it isn’t very flexible and it does not help many people, so you still should always aim for your best score!

    How does it work?

    The NMC banking system can seem complicated. You can read the official guidance here.

    The truth is, the process is quite complicated at first but there is a quick way to understand if you can ‘bank’.

    Ask yourself these two questions:

    1) Are my scores taken from two tests in a six-month period?

    2) IELTS: Are all of my scores at least 6.5? OET: Are all of my scores at least C+?

    If you answer ‘no’ to either of those questions, you cannot ‘bank’ your scores.

    If you answer ‘yes’, then do some further checking:



    IELTS:
    Have you achieved the following at least once across two tests?

    Listening 7.0

    Reading 7.0

    Speaking 7.0

    Writing 6.5

    If the answer is ‘yes’ – congratulations! You have banked your scores and you can continue your NMC registration.

    If you haven’t achieved the minimum scores in each module, you cannot bank.



    OET:
    Have you achieved the following at least once across two tests?

    Listening B (350)

    Reading B (350)

    Speaking B (350)

    Writing C+ (300)

    If the answer is ‘yes‘ – congratulations! You have banked your scores and you can continue your NMC registration.

    If you haven’t achieved the minimum scores in each module, you cannot bank.
