Half a dozen tests throughout the year. We have one next week I refuse to think of it as a proper exam. The main challenge in these tests is the amount of content...first one was on 100 lectures and this one is on 70 or so.

There's prac material as part of the tests and we have a couple of assignments and essays due. There are OSCEs for testing clinical skills and examination procedures. End of year there's a 3 hour exam and a 2 hour exam, one is mcq and one saq. We have student conference soon, where we will have to write an essay after.

That's about it from memory, can't think of anything else. Mostly just the stupidly large amount of stuff to learn that makes it hard, its not that different assessment wise other than the OSCEs

It is, but there's a reason its postgraduate. I'm way more prepared for it now than I was a couple of years ago

Our year starts early and finishes later and has less holidays in between. Possibly also more lectures per week. Bear in mind that our year is 2 compressed into one. Also having had three previous years means they don't have to teach basic chemistry again etc
