Interactive Marking
Our Interactive Marking system enhances your revision experience by providing real-time feedback on each SCA case. Here’s what makes it a powerful tool:
Platform Flexibility: Whether you’re using a phone, tablet, or desktop, you can access our interactive marking feature seamlessly across all devices. This ensures a consistent experience no matter how you choose to study.
Estimated Marking for All Domains: Our system allows you to receive estimated marks across the three key domains of the SCA exam: Data Gathering, Interpersonal Skills, and Clinical Management. This makes feedback more focused and relevant, helping you understand exactly where you excel and where improvement is needed.
Improved Feedback Consistency: By utilising the interactive marking tool, you and your study group can ensure consistent and constructive feedback. This helps to simulate the real exam environment and makes it easier to identify areas that need more attention.
Currently Available on Newer Cases: This feature is currently integrated into our newer cases, and we are actively working to update our entire case library to include this functionality. This means that more and more cases will benefit from this advanced tool as our updates continue.
The interactive marking feature offers a dynamic and accessible way to track your progress and refine your consultation skills, making your preparation more effective and targeted.
Consultation Guides
Our Consultation Guides provide deep insights and practical strategies for managing even the most challenging consultations, making them an essential tool for your SCA preparation. Here’s what sets them apart:
In-Depth Guidance: Each guide walks you through the consultation process step-by-step, offering clear, actionable advice for every stage. You’ll learn how to handle complex scenarios, such as dealing with an angry patient, breaking bad news, or managing multiple presenting complaints with confidence and clarity.
Focus on Challenging Scenarios: The guides are tailored to cover the toughest cases, including demanding patients, third-party consultations, and consultations with relatives. By focusing on these difficult situations, you’ll build the skills and confidence necessary to handle the most complex cases in the exam.
Essential Consultation Skills: Beyond specific scenarios, our guides also cover fundamental skills like demonstrating empathy and managing time efficiently, helping you deliver effective consultations under the SCA’s time constraints.
Practical Examples: Each guide includes good and bad example phrases that illustrate the most effective ways to communicate with patients. These examples help you refine your consulting style and avoid common pitfalls, ensuring that your communication is both clear and patient-friendly.
These comprehensive guides cover both the challenging presentations and the core consultation skills needed to excel in the SCA, offering you practical, hands-on advice that’s easy to apply during practice or in exam conditions.
Write & Share Your Own Cases
Our platform allows you to create, store, and practice your own SCA cases effortlessly. Here's how it works:
Simple Case Creation: Using our intuitive form, you can easily write and structure your own practice cases. Whether you’re focusing on a particular scenario or condition, the form helps guide you through the key elements to ensure your case is comprehensive and exam-relevant.
Store and Share: Once written, your cases are securely stored on the platform. You can choose to practice them within your small study group or share them with the broader SCA revision community, helping others while also receiving feedback on your cases.
Group Revision Feature: Cases that you write can be seamlessly integrated into our inbuilt group revision tool. This feature allows your study group to work through the case collaboratively, simulating the real SCA exam environment and offering a dynamic learning experience.
*Please note that this feature is only available in our newer cases. We are in the process of updating all our older cases to be compatible with this feature.
Group Revision
Our Group Revision feature offers a flexible and interactive way to collaborate on case practice. Here’s how it works:
One-Click Case Sharing: With just one click, you can instantly share any case with your revision group. It’s a fast and efficient way to bring everyone into the same session without hassle.
Flexible Role Selection: After sharing, each participant can choose their role. Whether they wish to be the doctor, examiner, or observer, our platform makes it easy for everyone to engage.
QR Code or Shareable Link: Once you’ve selected roles, our system generates a QR code or shareable link, making it simple for others to join. Examiners and observers can access the case content without needing an account, though the patient role-player will need an account to view detailed case information and scripts.
Unlimited Participants: This feature allows unlimited participants to join as examiners, making it ideal for larger revision groups, and small or large group teaching sessions. Multiple people can assess the session in real-time, offering a more dynamic and collaborative learning experience.
Supports Custom Cases: Whether you’re using pre-made cases or cases you’ve written yourself, this feature seamlessly extends to both, allowing for flexible group practice in any scenario.
*Please note that this feature is only available in our newer cases. We are in the process of updating all our older cases to be compatible with this feature.
Mock Exam Generator
Our Mock Exam Generator is designed to replicate the real SCA exam experience, providing a randomised selection of cases to help you prepare under authentic conditions. Here’s why it’s a valuable tool for your revision:
Random Selection of 12 Cases: The generator selects 12 cases at random from our extensive library. Each case is labelled generically (e.g., "Case 1", "Case 2") to ensure you don’t know the content ahead of time, making the experience feel more like the actual exam.
Seamless Group Practice: After generating your mock exam, you can share it with peers or trainers using a unique 4-character reference code. This allows your revision group to access the same set of cases, facilitating group or remote practice.
Access and Retrieve: You can easily retrieve previously generated exams using the same code, making it simple to revisit cases or review them with others for feedback.
The Mock Exam Generator provides a structured and unpredictable challenge every time, ensuring that your preparation mirrors the real exam environment.
Premium Condition Explanation Generator
Our Premium Condition Explanation Generator is designed to help you master one of the most crucial skills for passing the SCA: explaining medical conditions to patients in a clear, concise, and patient-friendly manner. Here’s how it works:
Random or Custom Condition Selection: With this tool, you can either generate explanations for conditions at random or, with paid membership, select specific conditions from a comprehensive list. This flexibility allows you to target areas you need the most practice in or challenge yourself with unfamiliar conditions.
Patient-Friendly Explanations: The generator provides clear, easy-to-understand explanations that are ideal for use during tutorials or group practice. These explanations help you hone your ability to communicate complex medical information in a way that patients can easily grasp—an essential skill for the SCA.
Perfect for Solo or Group Study: Whether revising alone or in a small group, the condition explanation generator is an invaluable tool for practicing concise communication. It helps ensure that your explanations are both quick and effective, just as they need to be under the time constraints of the SCA.
Mastering the ability to explain conditions clearly is key to passing the SCA, and this tool provides a practical and interactive way to develop that skill.
