Good luck dude - the waiting game is the toughest part!

In other news, it seems around 12% of people failed finals and 6-7 people need to retake the year. Pretty shocking stuff for something 'no one fails'.

How do theyknow they have to retake the year already if resits haven't been done? I'm guessing it's a different system to the other years.

If they fail one of the two practical exams, there is no chance of a resit and they have to repeat the year. I'm not entirely sure if this is because of practical reasons or that they deem that if you fail a practical exam, you're not ready to be a doctor.

5 people (from ~160) failed the final 5th year OSCE here and are resitting. Was fairly sure it was supposed to be unfailable if you'd managed to get to 5th year :s

Completely feel your pain - results tomorrow, already feeling a bit sick.

Apparently more than 10 failed here and that is rare. No resits here so they have to do the year again. The osce's were a bitch and apparently harder than last year. Really really feel for those people, it could have been me.

5!

In the last two years there was supposedly only 1 person that had failed.

Wow, that really surprises me - either the clinical school have started getting tougher or people have been getting complacent. I think only one person failed the OSCE and one failed the SCEE in my year, with a handful more having to retake one of the written papers.

Word had is that the spread of scores was pretty huge. The lowest scores were by far the lowest seen since the new course started, and the highest pretty damned high. The SEQ and EMQ seemed to do the most damage overall (and to be fair, there were some pretty nasty, esoteric questions in each.)
