Part 13 hour written exam split into 2 parts - 75 MCQs and 15 EMQs (each with 5 parts) giving a total of 150 questions - it seems like a lot but you will find that you will be able to work through the EMQs very quickly. Some questions will be obvious and easy, others you will have to spend some time thinking about and then there are some that you just will not know - it is best to skip over the questions that you do not know and make sure the paper is finished then come back to these questions at the end - Make sure all questions are answered as there is NO negative marking so even if you are not sure then have a guess!! Also no one is allowed to leave the exam hall early - have to stay the full 3 hours.
Part2
Over one day for each candidate split into two parts, one part in the morning and one in the afternoon;
- OSCEs, which are aimed at assessing the philosophy guiding the candidate’s practice, as well as their competence and application of knowledge. There will normally be around 20 OSCE stations of 5-minutes duration each which may include some rest stations, where a candidate will be asked to complete a practical task or a paper-based exercise.
Structured clinical reasoning is an assessment of the candidate’s ability to communicate with peers, reason, evaluate, form opinion and apply knowledge obtained through undergraduate and postgraduate experience to current dental practice. It is not primarily an assessment of recall or knowledge, although these elements are required to undertake SCR.
Candidates will be allowed 1 hour to consider background material to the scenarios. This will be followed by five 10-minute structured discussions with two different examiners on each occasion on selected aspects of each scenario.
Portfolios will now be marked locally, however a £50 administrative fee must accompany the Portfolio of Evidence Submission Form. (VDPs are exempt from this)
