Excellent presentation of general strategy and big picture information, then combined with lots of practice questions
and explanations. The practice papers with written feedback was very helpful."
M P - St George's, University of London 2019 Entry (42.52 SJT points)
Very professional, concise, everything you need to know, practice paper plus booklet and questions to take away
and do at home.
I B - Leeds 2019 Entry (46.12 SJT points)
In 2019, they reported a mean SJT score of 41.97 - 5.2% above the national average! This meant that 96%
got a place in one of their top 3 choices. We also have a lot of high scorers - 15.2% scored 45.01 or more,
compared to 6.9% nationally. Our best performer to date scored 49.16 SJT points!
3. in 2018, our mean was 42.37 (4.7% above the national mean), and 98% got a top 3 choice, 11.8% scored 46.00 or
over, compared to 6.9% nationally.
in 2017, our mean was 42.40 (6.6% above the national mean), and 97% got a top 3 choice, 10.9% scored 46.00 or
over, compared to 4.4% nationally.

Programme, with doctors attending from Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, UAE, Sudan, Bulgaria and further
afield:
I got 40.126 in the exam, which I think is much more than I would've got if I didn't attend the course. The course
helped pick at difficult topics and open up my mind about how to think about questions from outside the box. I also
got into my first choice! Which was really surprising, as I studied medicine abroad in the UAE and I know typically
IMG's don't do as well.
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 course was the best
thing I did in preparations for SJT. The course gave me a clear idea of what is, what to do in preparation and what
not to do. It was very useful indeed. So, thank you very much, I got allocated to my first preference
programme.

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