Practice makes perfect

It's often said that you can't 'study' for your SJT, as rather than testing your clinical knowledge it's designed to test your decision-making and the professional attributes you need to work as a foundation doctor.

You certainly can't cram for the test, or learn the answers by rote. But there are many things you can do to make sure you are able to tackle the exam with confidence.

Make sure you understand how the exam is structured and marked. You'll find lots of information on our website.
Practise, practise, practise by testing your skills with sample questions.
