OET Reading Tests

Ms Adrian had a 26-year history of PCOS, characterized by oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, hirsutism, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries, confirmed by several laboratory tests and ultrasound. Twenty years ago, her gynaecologist suggested lifestyle changes such as exercises, nutritional guidance, low doses of oral contraceptive pills, cosmetic therapy and laser therapy for hirsutism. With the use of oral contraceptive pills, she experienced an improvement in her menstrual cycles, although she continued to have mood swings, irritability, and severe headaches, which were extremely distressing. She was switched to several oral contraceptive pills, but all showed severe side effects. She discontinued all oral contraceptive pills after a few months of use.

In 2003, Ms Adrian presented for treatment of MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). Escitalopram—a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, not an oral contraceptive pill—was administered at 5 mg/d, with the dosage reaching 20 mg/d in 3 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment, she experienced clinically significant depressive symptomatic relief. Remission was achieved in 8 weeks. Over the next 18 months, she continued to receive escitalopram and experienced a return of regular menstrual cycles and improvement in hirsutism. She reported transient mild nausea at the beginning of treatment; no other side effects were reported.

Great job. Thomas Wayne was indeed the father of Bruce Wayne, or as we know him Batman.

It seems you are wrong. Thomas Wayne was the father of Batman, who himself is Bruce Wayne.

Great job. Iron Man’s secretary and fiance is Pepper Potts indeed.

It seems you are wrong. Pepper Potts was the secretary and future girl-friend/fiance of Iron Man.
