OET Reading Part C Mock Test
Instructions:
 Read the two longer texts (Text 1 and Text 2) and answer the questions
that follow.
 Choose the correct answer from the options A, B, C, or D for each

question.
 Only one answer is correct for each question.
Text 1: The Role of Nutrition in Post-Surgery Recovery
Nutrition plays a vital role in the recovery process after surgery. Proper
nutritional support can enhance wound healing, boost the immune system,
and reduce the risk of postoperative complications. The body’s metabolic
demands increase after surgery, particularly for protein and energy, which
are essential for tissue repair and immune function.
In the immediate postoperative period, patients may experience a decrease

in appetite due to factors such as anesthesia, pain, and stress. As a result,
healthcare professionals should encourage patients to consume small,
nutrient-dense meals and consider supplementing with oral nutrition if
necessary. Enteral or parenteral nutrition may be required in patients who
are unable to meet their nutritional needs orally.
Specific nutrients have been shown to play a critical role in postoperative

recovery. For example, protein is necessary for collagen formation and
wound healing, while vitamins C and A are crucial for immune function and
skin health. Zinc also supports immune function and helps reduce
inflammation.
However, nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Individual needs may

vary based on factors such as the type of surgery, the patient’s baseline
nutritional status, and any underlying medical conditions. Therefore,
nutritional interventions should be personalized and adjusted as the patient
progresses through recovery.

meet their nutritional needs orally?
A. Offering smaller meals more frequently

Text 2: The Psychological Impact of Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a persistent condition that affects millions of people

worldwide and can have a significant psychological impact. Unlike acute
pain, which serves as a protective mechanism, chronic pain persists for
weeks, months, or even years and often lacks a clear physiological cause.
This type of pain can lead to emotional distress, depression, anxiety, and
social isolation.
One of the key factors contributing to the psychological impact of chronic

pain is its unpredictability. Many patients report feelings of helplessness and
frustration because the pain is often difficult to manage and may fluctuate in
intensity without warning. This uncertainty can lead to anxiety and a sense
of losing control over one’s life.
The psychological impact of chronic pain is closely related to the concept of

pain catastrophizing. Pain catastrophizing refers to an exaggerated negative
mental state in response to actual or anticipated pain. Patients who engage
in catastrophizing tend to focus on their pain, feel helpless about controlling
it, and may expect the worst outcomes. This can exacerbate their pain
perception and contribute to a cycle of chronic pain and emotional distress.
Effective management of chronic pain requires a multidisciplinary approach

that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of the condition.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is commonly used to help patients
reframe their thoughts and develop coping strategies to manage pain more
effectively. Additionally, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR)
programs have been shown to reduce pain intensity and improve
psychological well-being in individuals with chronic pain.
Despite the challenges, it is important to note that chronic pain can be

managed effectively with the right support. Early intervention and the
involvement of mental health professionals can significantly improve
patients’ quality of life by addressing the psychological burden of chronic
pain.
Questions 15-22: Choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D).
15. What distinguishes chronic pain from acute pain?
A. Chronic pain is always more intense than acute pain

B. Chronic pain persists for long periods and often lacks a clear cause
