I just did a test comprising of 23 questions. None were multiple choice and only one was a single word answer. All others required certain amounts of text to be written. Some questions were also scenarios to be read and understood. Length of time for the test = 1 hour.

2.6 minutes per question including reading the question.

Are they [LIFTED] joking!!


Sounds like one of my Microsoft exams. 4 separate case studies in an hour or so.

My exams for getting on to a specialist training programme were similar:

Paper 1: single best answer (you're given a scenario and have a list of answers) or matching questions (thee or four scenarios and a list of answers). All clinical based knowledge.
Paper 2: you're given a scenario and have several answers. Put them in order of preference. Ethical paper eg you catch your senior watching porn on a hospital computer during working hours. (a)ignore it (b)report to the police (c)speak to the senior (d)speak to the consultant (e)tell IT.

I think each had 100 questions and 50 mins to answer. It wasn't too bad for the first paper, but for the second you kinda had to go on instinct. It's a way of seeing who is good at judging difficult situations and taking the correct action.

The problem is this wasnt design to be such a test. The boss wrote it yesterday, didnt do a trial run or mock with anyone and simply guestimated it would take an hour!

Just sat through a presentation on the causes of the Deepwater Horizon disaster.

Stupid mistake after stupid mistake. What a bunch of cowboys!

I'm sure that's what the technicians at Fukushima were saying about Chernobyl. :P

I know, different scenarios and all that, but you can't get complacent.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
