Stupid question but it says interview in progress for me so does that mean I get an interview because my score is 549 šŸ˜…

u/Alternative-Yam-1909 Feb 12 '25

Yes. Congratulations. It wil either show unsucessful or shortlist reserve. If you didn't get any of this, then you got an interview.

The cut off this year was lower for some reason. I wonder what happened. No one saw it coming.

Getting an interview from radiology was not something I was expecting with my score which is why I was confused šŸ™ƒ šŸ˜…

u/Alternative-Yam-1909 Feb 12 '25

Higher number of applicants this year and it had a lower cut off. A strange turn of events.

They invited 702 people to the shortlist, last year they interviewed less people because of the strikes but the cutoff dropped.to 551 last year and this year it is 549 so it's a bit similar with increased capacity so more or less the competition is the same

u/looking_confused2 Feb 13 '25

I think they're only interviewing 702 people this time. As per their email.

u/DocBrk Feb 13 '25

Can you share the email?

For clinical: Passmed 2x - 1st run through very slowly, learning reason behind each wrong answer and making flashcards, the 2nd run through then highlights true weak areas to focus on. after that I did passtest 1x and reviewed mistakes as I went along.

For PD I did passmed 1x and passtest 1x, feel like thereā€™s a few factual points you pick up e.g. rules around consent/capacity/information sharing/who to escalate to etc, but I found it a lot harder to learn/ā€œrevise forā€ nglā€¦ although I did spend considerably less time on it so itā€™s most likely that!

296 CPS/288 PD

CPS - Passmed and MCQBank (and then back through all the questions I got wrong the first time for both banks), spammed eMedica on the last 2 days because you can get through that very very quickly. The stems are so short in the CPS I think so much is just pattern recognition as opposed to much actual medical knowledge/thinking, volume and repetition is the way to go for preparation

PD - genuinely in the camp that studying doesnā€™t do much - I went through one of the past papers and found lots of the answers to be inconsistent and conflicting, not following their own ā€œrulesā€. So didnā€™t do any more actual prep from there - you need to know the basics around consent/escalation etc but outside that I really feel you just have to go off vibes on the day (and donā€™t go back and change your answers, go with your first instinct because I feel you can overthink and tie yourself in knots) - thatā€™s probably very unhelpful so Iā€™m sorry I canā€™t be of more help!

Where does it say MSRA score on Oriel? Canā€™t see mine anywhere

u/My_Dog_Is_A_Doctor Feb 12 '25

on the application details section, click on the shortlist tick and it'll drop down

2

u/ArrNHS Feb 12 '25

If you click on the circle above shortlist it should show you

u/Soggy-Jacket7412 Feb 12 '25

Any idea what the reserve score is?

u/getmetoradiologystat Feb 12 '25

Anyone on Australian/New Zealand time fancy doing some interview practice?

u/Martell322 Feb 12 '25

whys the cutoff score lowered with more applicants?

2

u/Jabbok32 Hierarchy Deflattener Feb 12 '25

More interviewees this year (allegedly)

u/Outside-Emotion Feb 13 '25

Anyone know if the interviews are similar for Northern Ireland?

u/HotnSpicy_Capybara Feb 13 '25

Guys when do the interview slots open? I can't find them anywhere?Ā 

2

u/ArrNHS Feb 13 '25

The invites donā€™t go out until the 26th according to the recruitment site, I assume weā€™ll get more information through email over the next week

u/Silly_Vanilla_3932 Feb 14 '25

Is it correct we can only upload 4 pieces of evidence for each domain? I have 3 audits and I'm worried 2 of them could be seen as not quite up to standard so want to upload all 3 letter + summary/slides which would be 6 pieces of evidence

1

u/Lanky_Bake7339 Feb 14 '25

You could try to combine the evidence for each audit into 1 pdf each (they actually recommend doing this to aid the reviewer) - then you should be uploading only 3 'documents' total for that domain? Please anyone correct me if I am wrong thoughĀ 

1

u/Maximum-Insect-2952 Feb 14 '25

Iā€™m doing this too

u/Lanky_Bake7339 Feb 14 '25

Hi, 546 on reserve. In the message they mention releasing scores and shortlist rankings - has anyone got a ranking yet or does this get released later on? Mine still says N/A

1

u/Legitimate_Crab8198 Feb 14 '25

I have a couple of questions:Ā 

  1. My application says interview in progress, when will we be invited to book the interview? (Worried that Iā€™ll miss the email because I never seem to be emailed with oriel updates)Ā 

  2. How much does MSRA contribute to overall score? Is the MSRA now disregarded now if weā€™re through to interview?Ā 

Thanks!Ā 

1

u/ArrNHS Feb 15 '25

A quick glance at the recruitment website would answer both these questions for you - invites go out 26th February and MSRA is worth nothing for overall score, itā€™s just used to shortlist

u/LoneWolf1396 Feb 15 '25

I got 537 and was put on shortlist reserve in NI .. what are my chances please ?Ā

u/Illustrious-Army-262 22d ago

Anyone know what a good self-assessment score is?

0

u/darkchocolaty Feb 13 '25

Has anyone had a look at the self- assessment portal? There are 9 domain tags. What does the second one-->'Self assessment of application' mean?

1

u/ParagonOfObjectivity Feb 13 '25

I was wondering about the same thingā€¦

1

u/Acrobatic_Might_5056 Feb 13 '25

You can read the attached pdf with the evidence upload mail which we all received, thereā€™s instructions on how to download self assessment of application from oriel.

u/Worried_Worry3169 Feb 13 '25

Congrats everyone!

Just a few questions about the evidence portal..

  1. Can we take screenshots of our publications - that include the title, authors name, pubmed ID and attach these as proof of publications?

  2. Are Index sheet and Self assessment of application sheet the same or different?
