F2 STAND-ALONE SITUATIONAL JUDGEMENT TEST (SJT): PRACTICE PAPER WITH ANSWERS Instructions: • Thank you for taking the time to complete the UK Foundation Programme F2 Stand-alone SJT Practice Paper. • In this paper, you will be presented with typical scenarios that F2 Doctors encounter, and you will be asked questions about dealing with them. • When answering the questions, please consider yourself to be an F2 Doctor and please answer based on what you should do. • You may sometimes feel you would like more information before answering, but please answer each question based only on the information provided. • You will be presented with Rating questions. These questions require you to individually rate between 3 and 8 response options per scenario. • You will be asked to rate the responses to the scenarios using a series of options, using the scale below: 1. Extremely desirable – an option is extremely desirable if it is a very appropriate thing todo in response to the scenario and aligns exactly with what is expected of an F2 doctor. 2. Slightly desirable – an option is slightly desirable if it is an appropriate thing to do in response to a scenario but is not ideal. It is somewhat aligned with what is expected of an F2 doctor. 3. Neither desirable nor undesirable – an option is neither desirable nor undesirable if it is something that is neither appropriate nor inappropriate to do in response to the scenario. It does not oppose or align with what is expected of an F2 doctor. 4. Slightly undesirable – an option is slightly undesirable if it is an inappropriate thing to doin response to a scenario but is not terrible. It is somewhat opposed to what is expected of an F2 doctor. 5. Extremely undesirable – an option is extremely undesirable if it is a very inappropriate thing to do in response to the scenario and directly opposes what is expected of an F2 doctor. • Please note this is not a full-length practice paper and is designed to provide you with examples of the types of questions and response format you can expect in the exam. The real paper is designed to take 45 minutes and has 20 scenarios. • The questions have been through a thorough review process and the correct answer keys have been determined through concordance analysis using a panel of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), who are able to provide insight into how a F2 stand-alone Doctor should be responding in these situations. The rationale statements have been written by SMEs, which provide an explanation as to why the answer key represents an appropriate response to the given scenario. • The table below shows the number of marks available for the response format. A near-miss scoring convention is used, meaning that marks are given based on how close you are to the correct answer. | | Maximum marks available per response | Responses per scenario | Maximum marks available per scenario | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rating | 4 | Rate between 3-8 | Up to 32 | Please note: • There is no negative marking; you are therefore expected to attempt all questions. • Definitions are available for terms which have been marked with an asterisk (*) . These definitions are included in the Glossary below.

FAQs

What is the rating scale used in the F2 stand-alone SJT practice paper?

Responses are rated from 1 to 5, where 1 is extremely desirable and 5 is extremely undesirable, based on what an F2 doctor should do for each scenario.

Should candidates answer using only the provided information?

Yes. The paper instructs candidates to consider themselves as an F2 doctor and answer each question based only on the information presented in the scenario.

How are marks awarded and is there negative marking?

There is no negative marking, and near-miss scoring is used so marks reflect how close the chosen response is to the correct answer key.
