OET Computer |
OET Paper |
Editing is easy |
Erasing and rewriting are time-consuming |
Word counter is available on the screen |
Keep the length of a letter in mind |
Typing speed should be good enough |
Handwriting should be legible |
Easy to organize letter |
Need to make a brief overview and then write |
These are my opinion but they can be highly subjective based on what you are used to in your routine. Do you write your clinical notes on paper or EMR?
