Exam Recap with Ben Finlay

Spoiler alert - We Passed! In this week's episode we reflect on the exam and the whole process of preparation for and actually sitting the exam. We are joined by Ben Finlay (circa the trauma podcasts) to share his experience as well! We discuss: - exam preparation - study group - tutorials and other resources - the written exam - the viva exam - practicalities from travelling for the exam and how we structured our leave, to timing for the written questions - the exam ceremony and life post exams! We hope you learn something from our experience - send us any questions you have about the exam and I'll try and do another episode so you can hear from a range of people about their experience.
