feedback every year:<br />
"Excellent <strong>co</strong>urse, I'm very pleased to have taken it. I got a solid s<strong>co</strong>re and into my top foundation school!<br />
Excellent presentation of general strategy and big picture information, then <strong>co</strong>mbined with lots of practice questions<br />
and explanations. The practice papers with written feedback was very helpful."<br />
M P - St George's, University of London 2019 Entry (42.52 SJT points)<br />
Very professional, <strong>co</strong>ncise, everything you need to know, practice paper plus booklet and questions to take away<br />
and do at home.<br />
I B - Leeds 2019 Entry (46.12 SJT points)<br />
In 2019, they reported a mean SJT s<strong>co</strong>re of 41.97 - 5.2% above the national average! This meant that 96%<br />
got a place in one of their top 3 choices. We also have a lot of high s<strong>co</strong>rers - 15.2% s<strong>co</strong>red 45.01 or more,<br />
<strong>co</strong>mpared to 6.9% nationally. Our best performer to date s<strong>co</strong>red 49.16 SJT points!
in 2018, our mean was 42.37 (4.7% above the national mean), and 98% got a top 3 choice, 11.8% s<strong>co</strong>red 46.00 or<br />
over, <strong>co</strong>mpared to 6.9% nationally.<br />
in 2017, our mean was 42.40 (6.6% above the national mean), and 97% got a top 3 choice, 10.9% s<strong>co</strong>red 46.00 or<br />
over, <strong>co</strong>mpared to 4.4% nationally.<br />
in 2016, our mean was 41.75 (8.5% above the national mean), and 94% got a top 3 choice. 6.2% s<strong>co</strong>red 46.00 or<br />
over <strong>co</strong>mpared to 1.2% nationally.<br />
We also help many international medical graduates achieve great s<strong>co</strong>res and successfully enter the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
<strong>Programme</strong>, with doctors attending from Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, UAE, Sudan, Bulgaria and further<br />
afield:<br />
I got 40.126 in the exam, which I think is much more than I would've got if I didn't attend the <strong>co</strong>urse. The <strong>co</strong>urse<br />
helped pick at difficult topics and open up my mind about how to think about questions from outside the box. I also<br />
got into my first choice! Which was really surprising, as I studied medicine abroad in the UAE and I know typically<br />
IMG's don't do as well.<br />
J S - Gulf Medical University, Ajman, UAE 2019 Entry (40.126)<br />
Having graduated outside of the U.K, I had no idea about what SJT was. Attending Emedica <strong>co</strong>urse was the best<br />
thing I did in preparations for SJT. The <strong>co</strong>urse gave me a clear idea of what is, what to do in preparation and what<br />
not to do. It was very useful indeed. So, thank you very much, I got allocated to my first preference<br />
programme.<br />

Course Feedback<br />
Here is some feedback from our <strong>Foundation</strong> SJT Prep Course:
"Great <strong>co</strong>urse all around and very professional. Expert speaker and good questions. Would definitely<br />
re<strong>co</strong>mmend to <strong>co</strong>lleagues in the years below me."<br />
"Structured approach and explanation to the SJT"<br />
"Very informative. Helpful to understand why the order was as it was. Speaker was funny and had my <strong>co</strong>ncentration<br />
the whole way through, which is a great achievement! Good to practice the questions using the actual grids."<br />
"Mock exam was really helpful. Speaker took time to explain every answers & he was really funny hence<br />
the talk wasn't that dry."<br />
Very professional, <strong>co</strong>ncise, everything you need to know, practice paper plus booklet and questions to take away<br />
and do at home.<br />
I B - Leeds 2019 Entry (46.12)<br />
Good examples. Clear structure. Good tips. Engaging.<br />
N P - St George's University of London 2019 Entry (46.12)<br />
Good introduction, clearly outlining the key principles/<strong>co</strong>ntents for the exam and then good exam advice tips!<br />
S M - Sheffield 2019 Entry (45.88)<br />
General overview of questions and how to answer them. The explanation of how the s<strong>co</strong>ring worked was very<br />
useful. The practice paper at the end was also <strong>co</strong>nfidence boosting.<br />
T C - Leeds 2019 Entry (45.6)<br />
Whilst Oxford was my first choice deanery, I actually accepted an academic foundation training post in the NW<br />
Thames region. However, I'm still very pleased I attended the <strong>co</strong>urse as my SJT s<strong>co</strong>re would have given me an<br />
overall EPM of 91.58, which would <strong>co</strong>mfortably have allowed me to rank jobs in the Oxford deanery <strong>co</strong>nfidently. Dr<br />
Rahman you spoke and taught with so much energy throughout the day. It really helps, particularly since the topics<br />
<strong>co</strong>vered by the SJT are not necessarily what all medical students find interesting.<br />
P S - University of Manchester 2019 Entry (44.58)<br />
Found the <strong>co</strong>urse useful and the past paper particularly good.<br />
F K - King's College London 2019 Entry (44.125)<br />
Good use of questions and examples. The <strong>co</strong>urse leader was very good at explaining rationale behind answers.<br />
I H - University of Leeds 2019 Entry (43.678)<br />
Really happy with the <strong>co</strong>urse and how it all turned out. I doubt I would have gotten into S<strong>co</strong>tland if my SJT s<strong>co</strong>re<br />
hadn't been high and it was only because of your brilliant <strong>co</strong>urse.<br />
S M - Edinburgh 2019 Entry (43.057)<br />
Wonderful <strong>co</strong>urse, great starting point for anyone who doesn't know what they're doing and isn't sure how to start<br />
SJT revision.<br />
B A - St George's 2019 Entry (43.55)<br />
Questions were useful and resources received were excellent. The tips we received were extremely beneficial and<br />
transferrable to the exam.
S J - St George's University of London 2019 Entry (43.058)<br />
Run by an actual doctor with a wealth of experience in the process and subject matter. He approached the SJT<br />
from a pragmatic and logical perspective and his aim throughout was not some nebulous "make us better doctors"<br />
nonsense, but purely to help us get the best results possible by playing the game. Best SJT investment I made<br />
without a doubt and will 100% re<strong>co</strong>mmend to everyone in the years below.<br />
E M - Glasgow 2019 Entry (43)<br />
Very engaging speaker!! Also, good to have access to practice questions as well as a mock exam where we<br />
worked through the answers.<br />
J R - UCL 2019 Entry (42.749)<br />
"Excellent <strong>co</strong>urse, I'm very pleased to have taken it. I got a solid s<strong>co</strong>re and into my top foundation school!<br />
Excellent presentation of general strategy and big picture information, then <strong>co</strong>mbined with lots of practice questions<br />
and explanations. The practice papers with written feedback was very helpful."<br />
M P - St George's, University of London 2019 Entry (42.523)<br />
Very well organized. Knowledgeable presenter who kept the <strong>co</strong>urse interesting for the whole day.<br />
M L - Cardiff University 2019 Entry (42.282)<br />
Really well organised. Speaker was clear in his explanations and engaging. The tips for the SJT were handy and<br />
helped me in my approach to the exam as well as preparation!<br />
A D - UEA 2019 Entry (42.236)<br />
The presenter provided very clear explanations behind the orders for the answers.<br />
S D - King's <strong>co</strong>llege London 2019 Entry (42)<br />
Thank you for helping me! I liked learning the different techniques of thinking to answer the questions and it wasn't<br />
boring at all!<br />
M B - Kings <strong>co</strong>llege London 2019 Entry (40.7)<br />
Very well organised and well-structured questions on the day.<br />
R S - St. Georges medical school 2019 Entry (40)<br />
Got my first ranked job! Went into the sjt feeling <strong>co</strong>nfident on how to answer the questions and knowing how to<br />
approach each question. Loved being an ambassador for you. Course <strong>co</strong>vered all basis of the exam including exam<br />
technique and where to get information from.<br />
V A - Hull York medical school 2019 Entry (40)<br />
Thank you! Don't think I would have got this s<strong>co</strong>re without the <strong>co</strong>urse.<br />
K - Aberdeen 2019 Entry (42.294)<br />
I got 40.126 in the exam, which I think is much more than I would've got if I didn't attend the <strong>co</strong>urse. The <strong>co</strong>urse<br />
helped pick at difficult topics and open up my mind about how to think about questions from outside the box. I also<br />
got into my first choice! Which was really surprising, as I studied medicine abroad in the UAE and I know typically<br />
IMG's don't do as well.<br />
J S - Gulf Medical University, Ajman, UAE 2019 Entry (40.126)
Having graduated outside of the U.K, I had no idea about what SJT was. Attending Emedica <strong>co</strong>urse was the best<br />
thing I did in preparations for sjt. The <strong>co</strong>urse gave me a clear idea of what is, what to do in preparation and what not<br />
to do. It was very useful indeed. So, thank you very much, I got allocated to my first preference programme.<br />
A P - Comenius University, Slovakia 2019 Entry (40.201)<br />
I left this <strong>co</strong>urse feeling really disheartened because I didn't do very well in the mock at the end of the day. But it<br />
made me work a lot harder in the few weeks after before the exam, and I used the techniques and the online<br />
resources provided, and it clearly helped a lot because I did much better in the real thing.<br />
P R - Barts and the London 2019 Entry (40.695)<br />
Great <strong>co</strong>urse, thank you very much! Helped me secure my first choice Deanery<br />
S L - University of Glasgow 2018 Entry (49.160)<br />
Plenty of worked examples of SJT questions and explanations of all the domains. It really got me thinking<br />
about how to answer the questions, how to identify the key themes and also the layout of the exam and answer<br />
sheet which prior to this <strong>co</strong>urse I was <strong>co</strong>mpletely unfamiliar with!<br />
A C - Leeds University Medical School 2018 Entry (48.575)<br />
Very interactive and well-organised. The booklets given were useful and doing practice paper and going<br />
through answers was helpful.<br />
D E - University of S<strong>co</strong>tland 2018 Entry (46.166)<br />
Clear, <strong>co</strong>ncise and organised. Good starting point to help with my preparation for the SJT<br />
D G - University of Leeds 2018 Entry (46.035)<br />
'The explanation of the different exam sections and the rationale behind these was really helpful. The practice<br />
questions were brilliant, and the booklet provided was also really useful.<br />
S W - Cardiff University 2018 Entry (46.026)<br />
It was well structured, <strong>co</strong>ncise and <strong>co</strong>vered the main topics.<br />
University of Bristol 2018 Entry (44.9)<br />
A brilliant <strong>co</strong>urse everyone should take. It goes beyond the generic outline of general tips for the SJT and<br />
actually shows you how the examiners think and the strategy of thinking of the scenario as a real life situation. I also<br />
liked that we went through a difficult mock exam together because it allowed us to see the gaps in our knowledge.<br />
Great <strong>co</strong>urse.<br />
N - Imperial College London 2018 Entry (44.822)<br />
I s<strong>co</strong>red 44.148. I'm so happy with this and would like to thank you for all your help. I would really re<strong>co</strong>mmend the<br />
<strong>co</strong>urse to my peers in the year below. I found it useful to go on the <strong>co</strong>urse at the beginning of my SJ preparation as<br />
it allowed me to guide the rest of my studies.<br />
L K - <strong>Foundation</strong> SJT 2018 Entry (44.148)<br />
The questions were great and doing a timed practice exam really did put the pressure on and made me <strong>co</strong>nsider<br />
how it was going to be on the actual exam day. Dr Rahman was engaging and had great tips that made me<br />
think about scenarios in a different way.
K S - University of Liverpool 2018 Entry (43.823)<br />
Very good practical advice that was so helpful and the speaker was very effective.<br />
A D - University of Southampton 2018 Entry (43.778)<br />
Alhamdulillah I managed to s<strong>co</strong>re 43.236 this year. I managed to get my first-choice deanery, Birmingham. I<br />
wanted to thank you and your team for providing such a fantastic <strong>co</strong>urse. It really is an amazing <strong>co</strong>urse, that has no<br />
doubt helped hundreds of students over the years.<br />
