🧠 FAQ's
The mock interview workshops are free for all paying subscribers of the question bank. There’s no additional fee for joining, and we encourage you to come to as many as you can.
Our first provisional date for the mock interview is the 23rd of October. Keep an eye out for a blog post update.
These sessions usually last around 90 minutes, we send around some videos beforehand to help candidates who have had less experience with acting, doing mocks, etc. These tend to take place on a Saturday or Sunday morning, and we make sure a current OST is present to field questions.
The workshops are practice sessions for you, and thus won’t be recorded – even if you don’t attend, your question bank will have the new stations released on the workshop dates so you can practice with a friend in your own time.
For the 2023 entry, the competition ratio was 98 posts to 971 applicants – the ratio was 9.91. However, don’t let this put you off! It’s a structured process and practice makes perfect.
Yes! We know about the changes to the interview format and are in the process of writing new material as well as updating our existing stations. The stations are now classed as either (clinical) or (comms and ethics). We are keeping a close eye on the Severn Deanery website and will continue to update and refine our stations as new information is released.
As of 2024, ‘station 1’ is still a patient consultation but is designed to test your clinical knowledge.
