Vivas

You will get a total of 4 viva sessions during which you will get to see a wide variety of cases. On the Standard course, you get 4 hot seats (1 in each session) each lasting 15 minutes and followed by 10 minutes of feedback. When you are not in the hot seat, you will be observing other candidates on the hot seats. This is a great opportunity to learn how other candidates present and also the feedback they receive from examiners. 

The Cases are presented to candidates on Postdicom using Zoom where the candidates will be given links to the examiners' case folders for them to scroll through in real time. The session will run to closely simulate the actual examination experience with 15 minutes of viva presentation followed by 10 minutes of feedback. 

The selected set of examiners includes experienced as well as new FRCR examiners. This means that the viva packets they use are of a similar standard to the FRCR examinations.

Live Written Packets

The Written Packets are done when you are not down for vivas and this is an opportunity to do 4 sets of rapid reporting and long case packets (2 each day) in such a way that it simulates the examination conditions. We expect that candidates aim to complete a long case packet in 70 minutes and a rapid reporting packet in 30 minutes. Candidates will use the Revise Radiology website where they will get access to the mock exam packets and this will be done live so as to reflect the examination.  There will also be 2 sessions of discussions covering all the packets.
