Comments-general
Thanks a lot for giving us such a good environment of competition
very helpful in boosting up our morals for exam
Course was very well organised, highly appreciable
Comments-general Well definitely useful the only thing is that it
would be better a month before the exam which would give adequate time to improve knowledge as well as MCQ technique.
Difficult to fit so much content in 3 days - losing concentration by 7pm
Day 2 was very tiring - consider splitting the day somehow.
Very useful course - lots of question practice and interactive session to augment/clarify knowledge.
Change to 4 day course with shorter days.
Comments: general Wish I knew sooner! My school didn't
encourage courses for MCQ nor was I aware of the SBA tricks!
Well looked after and very good organisation, lots of questions and I really liked the mock exam.
Very good course but improvement regarding: 1) Time management → needs to be much quicker 2nd day was too long.

Comments: Pharmacology 2 Decent speed and good content Slide font sizes are too small kindly use big and
