Part B – Two hours
• Sixteen questions• Data interpretation • Problem solving skills • Clinical scenario and may have clinical data
including radiographs, CT scans, ECGs, blood test results and clinical photographs.
• The pass mark is usually between 65-70% and it is set independently.
16
Part B
• No trick questions.• Straight forward.• Read the question.• Each question may not
be interrelated.• Most SAQ’s are
predictable – Rash, toxicology, etc
• Even if you don't know the diagnosis – you can still answer most of the questions.
• Time is of essence • If you don't know skip
and come back later

General advice
• Skim the whole paper for “good” questions• Read the question• Read the question to the end• Don’t forget the blindingly obvious• Links• Doses• No essays
