Vivas

You will get a total of 8 viva sessions during which you will get to see a wide variety of cases. On the Standard course, you get 4 hot seats  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

There are 2 mock exams during the course where 2 rapid reporting and long case packets will be done live .We expect that candidates aim to complete a long case packet in 70 minutes and a rapid reporting packet in 30 minutes. The other written packets can be done live when you are not down for vivas. You will also have the option to complete them before the course . There will also be 2 sessions discussing all the written packets . Candidates will use the Revise Radiology website where they will get access to the mock exam packets .
