Frequently asked questions
Is using AI prompts cheating? +
No. You're practising your own writing with structural scaffolds — the same role a tutor plays. CBLA penalises copied content, not coached structure.
Will the prompts fit my case? +
The tool offers 3 alternatives per blocker so you can pick what fits. Adapt the clinical detail to your specific case.
Can I use this in the real exam? +
No — the OET writing test is closed-book. Use this in practice only.
What if I keep getting stuck at the same point? +
That's a pattern worth fixing. Most candidates stall at the opening (Purpose) or the closing (Genre & Style). Read our criterion guides.
