I wonder whether people would be willing to share dropbox links etc to finals revision lectures? would be great if we could compile all our resources

I've not massively started SJT revision yet as I'm in the January exam cohort, done the practise paper though - does anyone know how to change the % mark to out of 50?

I don't think you can, as it always depends on the cohort you take it with (i.e. both the sittings in a year). Speak to your friends and see if you're getting similar scores, but generally I don't think there is a good way of knowing how you're doing.

From what I know, for the previous cohort, 86% roughly equates to 40 out of 50, which was the mean. (so you can sort of gauge i guess?)

Interesting to know, thanks.

Practice paper 2 was more difficult than 1 (IMO and my friends thought similarly), so I wonder which one the real thing is like.

The difference (and contradictions) was surprisingly big between both papers.
all the best for tomorrow. :smile:

Yes, lots of contradictions!

Good luck to you too (and everyone else on the thread)

Do you do finals quite early? Ours aren't 'til May so I'm leaving it until at least after the New Year. And yes the new paper was definitely harder, my friend went on a e-medica course and said they explained that some of the question leads had changed, so maybe that's why.

We have finals last week of Jan, first week of Feb. With PSA smack in the middle.

Two weeks left of block and then on study leave. Thank god.

Ours are in the second week of February. We finish our final placement on the Friday, and our first exam is on the Monday. I'd love a bit of study leave.

Found it quite funny when there was an SJT question with the doofus FY1 with the same name as me. Sounded like something I would do too, lol.

It's such an odd feeling coming out of an exam and feeling kinda indifferent about it - I'm not too fussed about where I end up, plus I've had a horrible cold this week so haven't had much time to prep. Will be interesting to see what kind of score I get...
