SITUATIONAL JUDGEMENT TEST REVISION COURSE
- 29th October 2016 -
Pass the Situational Judgement Test is a revision course with a difference. It is delivered by the authors of Pass the Situational Judgement Test: A Guide for Medical Students, and recent Situational Judgement Test (SJT) candidates both scoring in the top 5% of the national cohort, Drs Cameron Green and Aaron Braddy.
This SJT revision course will provide a unique and all inclusive study day to gain Situational Judgement Test practice and prepare any final year medical student for their upcoming Situational Judgement Test Exam. It will include an overview of all relevant guidance needed to succeed in the SJT test, first-hand personalised Situational Judgement Test tips and hints, and worked SJT practice questions throughout the day! There will also be a mock exam to consolidate your learning from the revision course.
Tea & Coffee included.

MEDICAL DAYS FOR YEAR 10s
From November to Easter 2017, we are arranging Medical Days for Year 10s who are interested in careers in Medicine. They take place on Wednesday afternoons and are hosted by local Colleges across Greater London. The Year 10s are accompanied by their teachers.
We are seeking to recruit a team of medical students who will lead practical, medical-related activities with mixed-school teams of Year 10s. Students will be paid £60 per event plus £5 for travel expenses. The work is enjoyable!
If you are interested, please email me your cv by Friday 14th October 2016. I will then arrange to meet with you on your campus/hospital in order to discuss the events. You should have good communication skills with young people. Our website is www.mcsprojectsltd.co.uk

This is how Marcy describes what happens in an RLF tutorial:
‘It's a confidential conversation focusing on any aspect of writing which the student would like to improve. I can offer practical techniques on structuring, drafting and editing. I can also advise on how to cope with paralysis, panic, procrastination. This is not a proof-reading or copy-editing service. I don’t offer lessons in grammar or English as a second language. (The Academic Skills Centre is the place to go for that help). I shall also refrain from advising about content or opining about marks - which is just as well, since I’m neither a scientist nor an academic.’
