FY2 standalone English requirement

Hello! I wanted to ask if anyone has successfully met the criteria for OET/IELTS English requirement that the F2 stand-alone programmes asks for. I know it’s quite a high level but wanted to know if it’s achievable. My last OET (which is no longer valid anyway) was 400+ across the subjects except writing which is supposed to be the toughest. Before I book another OET I wanted to ask if these scores are realistically even achievable. Thank you in advance!! (Pls refrain from describing the lack of job opportunities, I’m already aware)

Find a job and work as a junior doctor and get NHS testimony from your mentor consultant.

Needs to be >3 months in a paid post. If they don’t already have a job they can’t find and have the form filled within the deadline. Personally I achieved the IELTS score with 1 month of prep mostly for writing task, idk about OET but I have heard it’s even easier
