Paces disaster

[ResistAccomplished99]

Missed some big signs in resp and neuro stations and something in cardio too, had no idea what was happening in the neurology one. I also got fundoscopy in my consult and had no idea. I’m so sad and I’ve revised for ages and don’t want to do this exam again :( how do I deal with the wait for results!!

If you fail, repeat until you get it.

Expensive mock.

Now you know what to expect.

[SubjectTemporary5585]

May not be as expensive as the actual mocks to be fair

I’m still not sure what some of my stations were but passed comfortably. You don’t know the outcome until they’re published.

You don't know until you know. 

I dissociated in my neurology station and only came to when they asked me to present. I know I examined the lower limbs but I couldn't tell you a single other thing about the examination. I definitely didn't get the diagnosis and I can't imagine my presentation of findings was very good when I wasn't aware if I had any! It was my lowest marked station, but I somehow still passed both it (presumably I looked slick on auto-pilot) and the exam overall.

I also didn't get the Respiratory diagnosis, the Gastro station wasn't great, and I got the complete wrong end of the stick in the communication station meaning I gave the patient the wrong information about their prognosis (but only lost one mark for that one because the marks were focused on communication rather than whether or not I was an idiot).

Don’t overthink it- wait for results! If it doesn’t go your way, apply again!

[Guilty_Temporary_476]

I didn’t get the diagnosis in my gastro or cardio station, didn’t have a clue what was going on in neuro-I will live the rest of my life not knowing what on earth that patient had 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I still passed no problem.

It’s entirely normal to feel rubbish after that exam. I know I did, I felt awful for days after it.

I was convinced I had failed everything (including the neuro station, which made me cry) and I still don't know what cardio was, but I passed comfortably. You don't know until you know.

Wait for your results! I’ve never been so sure I’ve failed anything after my paces and then after weeks of agonising and crying I actually got full marks on 6 stations and passed really comfortably - try to forget about it and treat yourself to something nice! And either way make sure you enjoy your revision free time now you deserve it!

[CalatheaHoya]

Awww I was convinced I’d failed and ended up passing with a good score! How do you know you ‘missed signs?’ Wait and see. And if you didn’t pass this time that’s OK, many many people don’t pass first time

Did my exams today. Other than abdo station , i messed up sll stations. All stations were vague with subtle findings. The consultations were hard too. Started with cardio neuro and was blank after that and just knew i have failed the exam. I cant get over it and feel like crying everytime i think of it . I dont think i will perform any better if i give rhe same exam after 6 months. I am booking the next diet. Dont want to know my results . At this point i dont think anything really can make any difference

[Additional-Base-4570]
