In order to reach the interview stage of the current GPVTS selection process all applicants must undergo and succesfully pass an entrance examination. The examination is the same throughout England.
The examination itself consists of two stages :
The assessment MCQ which lasts for approximately 2 hours and normally contains around 200 questions. It covers all aspects of general medicine/surgery and the specialties. For more information see our Help on Answering Qs and Tips for Revision sections.
The Professional Dilemmas Section. This section contains scenarios that are designed to test your ability to respond to professional dilemmas using the Situational Judgement Test format. The Situation Judgement Test section (SJT) was introduced as a reasearch tool in September 2006 to assess its suitability as an assessment for selecting candidates in 2007. It is a test of judgement and can't as such be 'revised for'. We provide some further advice on answering these questions along with some examples in our Situation Judgement Test section here
The next exam is on 6th February 2010! To kick-start your revision try our free practice questions...
