Mock examination

Multiple-choice Mock Examination in the same format as the actual examination, usually sent out four weeks prior to the examination in order to gauge the performance of the representative and encourage more work if necessary.  The distribution of questions mimics the examination.  (305 questions)

The Mock Exam is completed on a similar answer sheet to that of the actual exam, allowing candidates practice – some find it difficult to put a horizontal line within a box but as the exam is marked by an optical mark reader, this is very important.  Answer sheets are scanned and returned for marking by return with wrong answers indicated and marks shown.

The Mock Exam highlights any weak areas that need to be tackled by last minute revision that needs to be done in the last few weeks.

Completing the e-Course and Mock Examination will expose candidates to nearly 800 questions of a similar type to the exam questions and this is a great boost to confidence and even if they get many wrong this is another way of learning the information.  It is a check on progress before it is too late to do some extra revision.

Mock Examination Day

This is a highly intensive one day workshop to iron out any problem areas, to build confidence and to encourage and focus revision.

The candidates sit both AM and PM Units.  They are given the same time as allocated in the actual exam and complete under exam conditions. 

The papers are marked and reviewed and time is then set aside to address revision tips and exam techniques and tactics with problem areas highlighted by the group discussed. 

This is particularly suitable for candidates who, whilst they may have a life sciences background, may not be fully aware of the exam format or which areas they need to spend more revision time on.  This makes up for the fact that there are no past ABPI Exam papers available which most candidates have been taught to rely on in past exams and therefore find they have no idea of what to expect and they find this daunting.
