01

Learn what they’re testing

Every question breaks down what the panel is listening for, so you stop guessing and start answering the real question.

02

Practise out loud

Set a timer, jot your points, answer as if you’re in the room. Then reveal the guidance and model answers to compare.

03

Track what’s left

Rate each answer. Your dashboard shows what you’ve nailed and builds practice sessions from the ones that need work.

Questions

Is this a subscription?+

No. You pay once for 3 or 6 months of access. Nothing renews and we’ll never charge you again unless you choose to buy more time.

What happens when my pass ends?+

The guide locks, but your progress and notes are kept. If you buy another pass later you carry on exactly where you left off.

Are medicine and dentistry separate?+

Yes. There are two complete guides, each with its own pass at the same price. A medicine pass opens the medicine guide and a dentistry pass opens the dentistry guide, so pick the one you’re applying for. The dentistry guide has its own twelve modules: NHS dentistry and the GDC, dental work experience, manual dexterity, dental ethics and practical stations.

I’m applying for both. What do I do?+

Buy both passes with the same email. You sign in once and can switch between the two guides from the menu.

What if I buy the wrong guide?+

Email us within 48 hours of buying and we’ll swap your pass to the other guide.

Does it cover MMIs as well as panel interviews?+

Yes. There are modules on both formats plus a full section on practical stations: role play, data, written tasks, group work and prioritisation.

Is the NHS section up to date?+

It covers the current structure (Integrated Care Boards, the plan to fold NHS England into the Department of Health), the 10 Year Health Plan, resident doctor strikes, physician associates and more. It’s reviewed through the interview season.

Can I download or print it?+

No. The guide is online only so we can keep it current and protect the work that went into it. It works well on a phone, so you can revise anywhere.
