The test, taken in Accra, Ghana at Total House, is now divided into two parts, parts A and B. While Part A assesses numeracy (ability to reason and apply simple numerical concepts), Part B is theory-based, testing the knowledge of candidates on the principles of their practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), which is taken in the UK usually during the third month of arrival, will now have 10 stations, instead of 8:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each station will be assessed against specific criteria and with a holistic judgement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a comprehensive evaluation, the content of the test has been updated. This implies that while portions of the content of the existing test have been maintained, new ones have also been included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accordingly, the range and quality of preparation materials will be improved to enable candidates to pass the revised test. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
