How it works

From your first station to exam day.

Everything is designed around one idea: the more times you've done it, the calmer the real thing feels. Here's the path most people take.

The steps

  1. Step 1

    Tell us your exam date

    Four quick questions — which exam, when, how much time you have, and what feels shaky. You get a study plan for the next two weeks that keeps adapting.

  2. Step 2

    Check your microphone

    A 30-second test: hear the examiner, say a sentence, play it back. Prefer typing? Skip it — typed answers are scored exactly the same.

  3. Step 3

    Run a station

    Read the scenario for 5 minutes, then spend 10 minutes with an examiner who asks 3 questions one at a time — with new information along the way and a follow-up when you're vague.

  4. Step 4

    Read your report

    About a minute later: a score for each domain, the key points you covered with your own words quoted, what you missed, and the top three things to work on.

  5. Step 5

    Learn the pattern

    Each report links to short frameworks for the situation, and a tutor that can explain any lost mark or sketch a model answer.

  6. Step 6

    Redo it, then go full exam

    Run the same station a few days later and see exactly what improved. Then switch to exam conditions, where the bell really does ring.

  7. Step 7

    Sit mock exams

    Closer to the day, run several stations back to back (the real exam has 8), with one report that applies the exam's pass rules.

  8. Step 8

    Watch your readiness grow

    One readiness score that blends recent results, topic coverage and how you practise — plus where the easiest extra marks are.

Fair, explainable marking

How the scoring works.

Every station has its own rubric: the key points a strong answer covers, which ones are essential, and the safety errors that matter most. These are written for each scenario, not generic checklists.

Your answer is checked point by point, with the words you used quoted as evidence. Each domain is then given a band and a score on the same kind of scale the exam uses, with a one-line reason you can read.

Scores are a practice estimate, not an official result. If one looks wrong, tell us from the report — a person on our team will look at it.

Your exam date is fixed. Your confidence doesn't have to be.

Start with one station tonight. Your plan builds itself from there.
