The 15-Minute Clock
Pace each station with confidence. Know what to cover and when, so nothing important gets squeezed out before time is called.
- 03
FIFE and Hunting Problem 2
Explore the patient's feelings, ideas, function and expectations, then learn to uncover the second problem that cases often hide.
- 04
Worked Cases
Follow cases from opening line to close and see how strong answers take shape, so you can apply the same reasoning under pressure.
- 05
SAMP-Style Practice and a Five-Station Mock
Test yourself with SAMP-style practice questions, then rehearse the full experience with a five-station mock before exam day.

See the frameworks applied start to finish, then compare your own approach against each worked case in the interactive reader.
