Online VIVA Practice Exams
First Part, Second Part and Second Part Paediatric
For trainees planning to sit the First Part, Second Part or Second Part
Paediatric exams, online practice exams for the VIVA component will be
available.
These sessions are conducted by College intensive care specialists (who are
not necessarily examiners) or senior trainees with a passion for education.
You will participate in at least one VIVA and be an observer in other VIVA
during each session. Feedback on exam technique will be provided after each
VIVA rotation. Additional observers including College Fellows, Trainees and
staff may also be present.
Please check College e-News for when next session registrations become open. Priority is given to
trainees who are attempting the exams in the current sitting.
If you have any queries, please contact the Education Team.
