How an OSCE station works here

Each station has three parts. First, the candidate brief — the same paragraph you'd read at the door of a real exam station. Second, the scenario — the patient, the vitals, the monitor, the props on the trolley. Third, the marking rubric — typically 15–20 weighted items split into "essential" (these decide pass/fail) and "desirable" (these decide pass vs distinction).

You read the brief, mentally rehearse what you would say and do, then reveal the rubric and self-mark honestly. You'll see your score, the band you'd fall into, a model-answer walkthrough by a senior, the common pitfalls, and the teaching points worth reading next. The rubrics are anchored on RCUK ALS, ESC, APLS, BTS, and other guidelines named on each station.
