What previous candidates say
Feedback is published only with the candidate's consent.
"The range of stations and the strict time keeping with boards in between. Written mark schemes and feedback to hand. Poker faces of examiners."
"I think it was helpful to have the peer candidate observing. Running the whole pharm/phys and clinical/physics vivas together was helpful practice."
"Thank you very much. This was an incredibly useful day and I benefited a lot from learning where my knowledge and technique gaps were."
"Individual feedback, common tips and tricks for VIVA and OSCE, broadly cover high yield topics."
"Actual OSCE practice, most courses focus on viva"
