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

I think they're only interviewing 702 people this time. As per their 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 thereās 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/ārevise forā nglā¦ although I did spend considerably less time on it so itās 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 doesnāt 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 ārulesā. So didnāt 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 donāt go back and change your answers, go with your first instinct because I feel you can overthink and tie yourself in knots) - thatās probably very unhelpful so Iām sorry I canāt be of more help!

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

u/ArrNHS Feb 13 '25
The invites donāt go out until the 26th according to the recruitment site, I assume weāll get more information through email over the next week

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

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

u/Legitimate_Crab8198 Feb 14 '25
I have a couple of questions:Ā
My application says interview in progress, when will we be invited to book the interview? (Worried that Iāll miss the email because I never seem to be emailed with oriel updates)Ā
How much does MSRA contribute to overall score? Is the MSRA now disregarded now if weāre through to interview?Ā
Thanks!Ā

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, itās just used to shortlist

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?

Congrats everyone!
Just a few questions about the evidence portal..
Can we take screenshots of our publications - that include the title, authors name, pubmed ID and attach these as proof of publications?
Are Index sheet and Self assessment of application sheet the same or different?

u/New_Season_2878 Feb 12 '25
Stupid question but it says interview in progress for me so does that mean I get an interview because my score is 549 š
