STP Longlisting

If unsuccessful at the STP Longlisting stage. Does this means one didn't pass the SJT component or one's mark didn't meet the cut off for one's specialism. Because some specialism are very competitive. Like cardiac science, microbiology, neurophysiology.

Hi there...The STP is a psychological evaluation to rate your reaction to scenarios or your judgement as a trainee. So, If you don't get longlisted, its means you didn't pass the "SJT component" as the test is more about your job as a trainee than the course you are choosing to specialise in

It's a combination of the two. This is what the NSHCS have on their website.

"No, there is no set percentage of applications that are longlisted. When applicants apply for the STP they are in competition with all other applicants who have also applied for that specialty. The best scoring applicants go through to shortlisting but the amount will depend on the number of applications received. For example, if there is a relatively small number of applicants for a particular specialty and all score well on the SJT, it is possible that all applications will go through to shortlisting."
