Here are the scores for the July Teale Fenning Mock SAQ:

average / lowest / highest

Obstetric Paper

Twin to twin transfusion 10.4 / 0 / 16
Single umbilical artery 7.4 / 0 / 14
Poorly controlled epilepsy 9.2 / 4 / 13
Antenatal collapse 7.2 / 3 / 13

Gynaecology Paper

Large fibroid uterus 11.4 / 7 / 15
Familial ovarian cancer 7.2 / 0 / 13
Ovarian cyst 8.7 / 3 / 14
Postmenopausal bleeding 12.0 / 8 / 17

Overall 73 / 46 / 103

In view of these results we set the following standards for each question and a passmark of 72:

Twin to twin transfusion 9
Single umbilical artery 8
Poorly controlled epilepsy 9
Antenatal collapse 8
Large fibroid uterus 10
Familial ovarian cancer 8
Ovarian cyst 9
Postmenopausal bleeding 11

16 of you passed. Well done to the person who scored 103 (the only one to get above 100) and was our Gold Medallist and to the guys who got Silver and Bronze with scores of 97 and 93 respectively.

That means 12 of you did not make the grade Crying or Very sad

but most were close and you did do the exam at the end of a long weekend. Don't worry you will do better on the day and have the right ingredients to improve that score considerably having done the Essay Writing Technique Course.

As you can see the gynaecology paper was easier but harder to pass as a result. Remember what we discussed re the gynae paper - go get them!

Good luck to each and everyone of you.

Jullien and I sincerely hope you found the course and the feedback, which will be landing on your doorsteps if it has not already, helpful and encouraging. Most importantly we hope it helps you go on and secure a pass mark so we can see you safely through to the OSCE in November.

If you want some more coaching then consider the Essay Practice Course which will be held at the College on the 22nd and 23rd of August.
