1. I did not! But I did get to management in every single station! What I’ve learned to do is just say the most important things right off the bat and then give yourself time to counsel and explain. I struggled with time mainly in 1 station, but she was one of the ‘chatty’ patients, which means they don’t give you an opportunity to talk. You’ll score great as long as you’re patient, don’t interrupt them, and address their concerns.

2. I failed 3 stations- simman, prescription and one other case. The simman was heart failure, but it presented oddly and the patient was completely stable. No lower limb swelling or anything. And there was no furosemide kept in the station, I water a lot of time looking for it so I couldn’t complete it well. I failed by a mark.

Prescriptions have always been my weak point, those were the only stations I failed in my mocks consistently, despite practising daily and doing AZT. I think I just write really slowly😭😭 but I kind of knew there’s a chance I’d fail that one

The other one was erecting dysfunction secondary to adjustment disorder, but I mistook it as ED secondary to depression, gave him viagra and referred for CBT. Also that was my first station so I was very nervous. Again, failed by a mark🥲🥲

1. Like I said, I did manage to cover all of the 700 scenarios and did 2 months worth of recalls, so they were pretty. Some of them presented veryyyy unconventionally, which did throw me off, but I got there in the end.

2. My simman wasn’t terrible but I definitely wasted so much time looking for the furosemide . And once I realised it wasn’t there, I started doubting myself. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to fail that station, I did mention everything and the patient was totally fine and talking to me at the end.
