Nottingham uni vet SJT

I don't quite know what to expect...
What is the format like? How much time are we given for each question, etc.
It would be really helpful if someone has any advice/experience, thanks!!

Format is scenario then options as to what you would do in that scenario.
There is a time limit for the entire set of questions not for individual questions. The point of an SJT is not to spend ages thinking through all the options it’s your gut reaction to how you would deal with a situation

If you click the link and read the instructions at the bottom this is what they say:

The SJT must be completed to screen applicants for further review and shortlisting for interview. You should:
Aim to complete this paper in 30 minutes
Manage your time effectively
Attempt the paper only once
Only navigate forwards through the questionnaire

From their website:

Situational Judgement Test

Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) assess your judgement in situations you will encounter while studying veterinary medicine. It assesses key attributes identified as important for you as a veterinary student. The test will evaluate your interpersonal skills and ethical values rather than knowledge or clinical skills. You will complete a set of hypothetical but relevant scenario-based, multiple choice questions associated with the veterinary profession. Your answers will be evaluated to build a picture of your situational judgement in that context.

The SJT evaluates four attributes:

•

empathy and building client relationships

•

professional integrity and trust

•

resilience

•

teamwork

A rating is used from a scale of 1 to 4 where you will be asked to either:

•

rate the appropriateness of a series of options in response to the scenario

•

rate the importance of a series of options

Your responses will be evaluated against a pre-determined automated scoring system. You must complete the SJT for further review and short listing for interview. There is no time limit: it should take no longer than 30 minutes to complete the SJT and it must be completed in one sitting.

You will be given "a scenario" and "a response". You then need to pick a rating of appropriatness or importance.
Just make sure you have allocated 30-45 minutes to do this test, don't refresh or try to navigate back.

Here is a good website explaining what SJTs are (not vet med, just in general):

Username should be in one of the emails from Nottingham (for their portal registration).

Good luck
