Dear All

Thank you for participating in the session today.

We had 3 members, Dr S, Dr J and Dr S joined us today to give us feedback of their recent experience of the exam. They all were of the opinion that Exam was very well organised and fair.

They had taken the exam in Kolkata and New Delhi.

Spread of cases was as expected, most cases had been fully or partly discussed in last 3 months hence it was no surprise and they could perform to their best. Everything did not run to their complete satisfaction but that is always the case. We keep our fingers crossed for the results.

Their update of the exam and AG’s presentation of the exam lad foundation for next three months. There were no changes suggested to our strategy. It provided sense of confidence and ability to think on the spot.

We will cover all stations with special emphasis on Communication as 26 of a total of 82 marks are assigned to Communication across the exam.

The Learning points are:

• Essential to have GOOD nights rest prior to exam.
• Stress will cause to function below your best.
• Keep Calm during the exam.
• Station you have completed has NO effect on the next station.
• Do not carry the baggage with you.
• Actively participate during the sessions
• Practicing ‘imaginary in head’ will not transform to action in exam
• Use 3 mins provided Well.
• Have Study group and partners
• We are not practicing Paediatrics but how you filter the information
• RRR – use as basis for reading up and Communication.
• Practice – Practice – Practice.
