How It’s Taught:

You will complete 6 practice papers over the 2 days, comprising a total of 270 questions. These will be accompanied by in-depth explanations of why each answer is the correct one and how to go about selecting the correct answer from options that may seem only slightly different.

The first two papers will be sent in advance of the course, and you will be expected to complete these before arriving. They will then be discussed in detail on the first day and you will also complete a third paper, which will be unseen, on the first day.

On day two you will complete papers 4 and 5 as interactive quizzes before sitting paper 6 under timed, exam-like conditions.

All papers are discussed in interactive review sessions, which will no doubt spark some debate but will help to familiarise you with topics from across the curriculum and the relevant guidelines.

You will be given comprehensive model answers to take away.

What Skills Will You Develop:

You will learn how to manage single best answer (SBA) questions.

Through undertaking our practice papers and the discussions in class you will come to understand what the college is looking for and how to choose between options which may appear only subtly different.

You will gain an understanding of your own strengths and weaknesses, and understand the underlying principles and guidelines to help you answer related questions in the future.
