Hi to all UK RN aspirant, as a one myself, I would like to invite my fellow filipinos who reside in Manila to maybe be my study buddy for the OSCE (Test of Competence part 2) Exam in the UK. This exam is scenario based and maybe we can benefit in doing a lot of practice and sharing of ideas. I do have a couple of resources such as OSCE books and online resources that I can gladly lend. If you are interested please do reach out to me at earrings_candies@yahoo.com 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oct 28, 2014 by JeffGodfrey 1 Post; 483 Profile Views Hi Earrings, I would like to ask if you have done the Part 1 (CBT) TEST already? And if so, what materials did you use? Thank you. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oct 30, 2014 by gloucenurse07 23 Posts; 1,570 Profile Views I am also going to take the CBT competence exam but I am clueless on what resources to review. I hope anyone can share tips and the likes. :) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you can't release any details, but was the exam easier than you expected or was it difficult in your opinion? What were some resources you used to study for it? Obviously you passed if you're getting ready for part two, so what resources are you using to study for that? Any response would be very helpful! Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just trying to see what I should prepare for. Drugs in the UK seem to have different names than in the US. Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 8, 2014 by lordcroft18 17 Posts; 777 Profile Views Hi earrings,Does this mean you have already taken CBT (Part 1)? If so, can you share what materials/references you used to prepare for it and if it isn't too much to ask, can you share them to us who are planning to take the test next month? Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 12, 2014 by earrings 9 Posts; 682 Profile Views Hi everyone sorry for a delayed response. If you have already taken the NCLEX RN exam, then the CBT is an easier version of that. Yes there were pharma questions but wasn't a lot. One thing you have to practice is how to compute without a calculator. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 12, 2014 by gloucenurse07 23 Posts; 1,570 Profile Views Thank you earrings! What were your references? Did you review all the links indicated in the blueprint? :) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 13, 2014 by earrings 9 Posts; 682 Profile Views I was like halfway through it but never really did finished all of it. I find Saunders really helpful especially when I really need to brush on my hardcore nursing concepts, plus take a lot of sample exam when you get the chance. In addition, you may also want to try the practice exam in your Pearsonvue profiles because that sort of going to give you the feel of what the exam screen looks like. Good luck everyone! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
