Tomorrow (7th December) is the first wave of the two national Situational Judgement Tests for aspiring FY1 junior doctors. Applicants are given questions/situations they may face as a junior doctor but The Foundation Programme Office says "There is no need to revise for the SJT as it is not a test of clinical knowledge."

However, there has been a discussion in the past in doc2doc about The exploding market in 'How to pass the SJT' resources

The Programme Office claims that "To prepare for the SJT you may wish to try the SJT Practice Paper, and refer to the answer rationales. You might also find it helpful to read Good Medical Practice and familiarise yourself with the attributes expected of you as a UK foundation doctor, explored further through the SJT monograph and stated in the Person Specification."

There's also some information in Student BMJ too on how to prepare:
http://student.bmj.com/student/view-article.html?id=sbmj.e6953&ga=w_ga_mpopular?ga=w_ga_mpopular

So, how much revision have you done in preparation? Is it something you can revise for or is it more of a technique you have to adopt when answering the questions? Are you feeling confident?

Mbillingsley ,one of my good friends who is a senior reg in clinical pharmacology (he keeps doing research to put of the day he has to 'grow up') took the SJT as part of the pilot and scored very badly - now what does that say?

I didn't revise for it....
I did the practice paper so I was familiar with the format. I didn't go to a revision course and I didn't buy any of the revision text books. I'll let you all know how well my gamble has paid off in the new year when my results come through.
I know a lot of my colleagues worked tirelessly to prepare for it. A student on my current firm wasn't seen for 4 weeks while he revised solidly for it. He even didn't do his on-calls... So the question being, if this does improve his score, is it really a reflection of how "professional" he acts at medschool (eg, not turning up to his on-call's?)
