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!

Was Lauren Laverne always this gorgeous, clever and funny and I just didn't notice or is this a new thing?

There is a lot of that kind of 1994 going on on the kitchen table right now.

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.  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.
