Situational Judgement has 69 questions about realistic scenarios. It tests the values expected of future doctors and dentists — not medical knowledge.
The priority order
- Patient safety and wellbeing
- Honesty and integrity
- Working within your role — escalate rather than act beyond it
- Teamwork and respect
- Your own learning and wellbeing
Common traps
- Picking a dramatic action (reporting someone immediately) when a calm conversation comes first.
- Ignoring a problem because it is "not your business" when safety is involved.
- Comparing options with each other — for appropriateness questions, judge each one on its own.
💡 Ask: "What would a sensible, honest medical student do here — right now?"
