What was said
“Okay, we can check your thyroid and do a full set of bloods, then see how you feel.”
You planned well but missed her cue about her mum. Ask what's worrying her.

The consultation from the video at the top of this page, marked by the same scorer the app uses. The answer is a short test consultation we wrote, not a real candidate's.

1
Three domains, graded 0 to 4
Data gathering and diagnosis; clinical management and medical complexity; relating to others. Each from clear fail to clear pass, with your own words quoted.
2
Pass, borderline or fail
One band for the case: pass at 80 and over, borderline from 60, fail under 60. Missing a must-do safety step caps it at a fail.
3
What a pass needed
Every point on the case's marking sheet, domain by domain, with the ones you missed or only partly did flagged.

On the SCA's three domains: data gathering and diagnosis; clinical management and medical complexity; and relating to others. You get pass, borderline or fail, a grade for each domain, what a pass needed, and your own words quoted as evidence.
