Comments-general

Thanks a lot for giving us such a good environment of competition

very helpful in boosting up our morals for exam

Course was very well organised, highly appreciable

Comments-general Well definitely useful the only thing is that it

would be better a month before the exam which would give adequate time to improve knowledge as well as MCQ technique.

Difficult to fit so much content in 3 days - losing concentration by 7pm

Day 2 was very tiring - consider splitting the day somehow.

Very useful course - lots of question practice and interactive session to augment/clarify knowledge.

Change to 4 day course with shorter days.

Comments: general Wish I knew sooner! My school didn't

encourage courses for MCQ nor was I aware of the SBA tricks!

Well looked after and very good organisation, lots of questions and I really liked the mock exam.

Very good course but improvement regarding: 1) Time management → needs to be much quicker 2nd day was too long.

Comments: Pharmacology 2 Decent speed and good content Slide font sizes are too small kindly use big and
