uni of leicester pharmacy sjt test

hello, i have just received an email from leicester about an sjt test that will be taking place. how exactly does the test take place? i know that its online on a meeting, is it a verbal test with verbal answers or do you sit the test in silence and complete the test but the person just watches you.. im very confused.
thanks

Hi! For the Leicester SJT, it’s typically an online written test. You’ll be presented with different scenarios and asked to choose the best course of action from multiple choice options. It’s usually completed in silence while someone monitors you through the online meeting, but they won’t interact with you during the test.
It’s not a verbal test, so you won’t be speaking your answers. You’ll just select your responses based on how you would handle each situation. If you’re unsure about any specific details, it might be helpful to check the email again or reach out to the admissions team for confirmation.

thank you so much

Of course!

hi again, do you have any suggestion for resources i can look into for preparation of this test? or is it just a basic baseline

For preparation, use medical-school-style SJT practice papers (including the Leicester practice paper on Studocu), UCAT SJT question banks such as Medify, MedEntry or The Medic Portal, and review GMC Good Medical Practice to understand expected behaviours. Doing one or two timed practice sessions and focusing on the reasoning behind correct responses is usually enough for most applicants to reach Band 1–2 comfortably. Good luck!

hi so do they give u a link and u press on it to fill out the answers or is it a different approach?

How long after application do you sit this

How long after application do you sit this

i sat it today, which was 7 weeks i think after i got sent the details. you have max 8 weeks to sit it, they give you a range of dates that you can attend

hi, i was just wondering how many questions are given in the test and is it similar to ucat sjt? thanks

hello, i dont think i can get too specific with the questions but ill tell you ask much as i can. they only have a timer for the sake of there being a time limit, but you have more then plenty time to answer if thats what you are worried about. i cant actually remember how many questions there were, but i finished relatively quickly. it really is just to test your judgement in different scenarios, dont overthink it!

Hey, I have mine this week, I just wa ted to know if they mostly ask you to rank responses from most to least appropriate and choosing the 3 most appropriate response. Or if they also ask more UCAT SJT style questions. Thank youuu!
