- Why is it important to avoid strong expressions such as ‘proof’ ‘should’ or ‘must’?

Words such as ‘must’, ‘should’, ‘ought’ suggest little flexibility in either care decisions or patient experience.

- What can you do in a written examination to make the best use of your time and knowledge? Answer: Spend the first few minutes reading the entire paper carefully, making any decisions about which questions to answer (if there is a choice) Re-read the questions you are going to attempt, underlining any key words and phrases in the question (including terms such as ‘discuss,’ ‘list,’ ‘outline,’ critically analyse,’ and so on) For each question you are going to attempt, jot down the main points that you plan to cover. This is the bit that you will feel you don’t have time to do, but it will pay dividends, because you will then be able to write your answers more fluently. Leave a gap after each of your answers, so that you can go back later (if time allows) to add more. This is particularly important if you know that you left your original answer incomplete. Manage your time. Many students find that they ‘run out of time’ during an exam. Keep a close eye on the time to manage it effectively. It is likely that the examination ‘rubric’ (instructions at the beginning of the exam paper) indicates how much time you should spend on each question or section. Even if they don’t, the allocation of available marks (25% for one question, say, and 50% for another) will give you a pretty good idea of how you should allocate the available time. If you find that you are running out of time, make sure that you write something on each question, rather than leaving one or more questions completely unanswered.
- What does ‘OSCE’ stand for? Answer: ‘OSCE’ stands for ‘Objective Structured Clinical Examination.’
- What might constitute a mitigating factor, a circumstance that adversely affects your progress on the course? Answer: Physical or mental illness (of yourself or a close relative), bereavement.
