Description
Returning for a third edition, Oxford Assess and Progress: Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is THE definitive guide for students preparing to sit the Situational Judgement Test for entry into the UK Foundation Programme. This authoritative book, mapped to the Foundation Programme curriculum and GMC guidance, includes over 285 practice questions to help you maximize your SJT score.
Fully revised and updated, this third edition provides over 285 questions and high-quality feedback that has been developed to clarify the ranking of every answer option, not just the correct one. All scenarios are based on real experiences informed by practising doctors and medical students who have sat the SJT to ensure that the questions closely mirror the content of the real exam. Two mock tests allow candidates to prepare for exam day and practice their timings - one of the biggest
challenges in the exam.
Written by consultants, this authoritative guide demystifies the SJT, allowing you to achieve the best possible score and take control of the first stage of your medical career.

Reviews / Votes
Review from previous edition I was one of the original guinea pigs for the SJT. If I had this book before I sat the exam I would have aced it. This book shows you exactly what the markers are looking for, where to find valuable pre-reading material and the practice questions are impressively like those in the real SJT. * Mubeen Iqbal, FY1, North Central Thames Deanery * An excellent book that I would recommend to other students. It certainly has made the exam feel less daunting and I feel more prepared having used this book. * Raymand Pang, 4th year Med Student, Warwick University * Having done the SJT I feel that this is the best resource available. * Amazon customer review * When it comes to providing questions that represent the SJT there is no better book. * Amazon customer review *More details
