How MediWord Helps You Master the SJT
The Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is one of the most important exams for UK medical students and foundation programme applicants. Unlike clinical knowledge exams, the SJT assesses professionalism, decision-making, and ethical reasoning — areas that many candidates find challenging because they can’t just be revised from a textbook.
That’s where MediWord comes in. With over 650 SJT-style scenarios, realistic mock exams, and a full video series, MediWord gives you the tools to understand the GMC principles and apply them confidently in exam conditions.
Why the SJT Is Difficult to Prepare For
The SJT doesn’t test medical facts. Instead, it asks:
- How do you prioritise tasks as a doctor?
- How do you respond when colleagues make mistakes?
- What’s the most professional way to handle difficult situations with patients?
Because of this, the SJT is about judgement and strategy, not just memory. Many candidates struggle because they practise too little or use question banks that don’t reflect the real exam. MediWord fixes that problem.
650+ Realistic SJT Questions
MediWord’s SJT test questions bank is designed to replicate the style, tone, and structure of the real test:
- Over 650 scenario-based questions written to NHS standards
- Both ranking questions and multiple-best-answer formats
- Explanations rooted in the GMC Good Medical Practice framework
This means every time you practise, you’re building the exact judgement skills the exam is testing.
Mock Exams That Replicate the Real SJT
Practising questions in isolation is useful, but to really master the SJT(situational judgement test), you need to experience full exam conditions. MediWord provides mock exams that:
- Use the same structure and timing as the real SJT
- Cover a wide mix of professionalism domains (teamwork, patient safety, honesty, escalation)
- Provide detailed feedback so you can see how your reasoning compares with expert judgment
By sitting mocks, you learn how to manage time, think under pressure, and spot patterns in the SJT test questions style.
SJT Video Series – Learn Strategy from Experts
MediWord’s SJT Video Series makes a big difference to preparation. Instead of just reading explanations, you get to see experts think through dilemmas step by step.
The series includes:
- 🎥 Strategy breakdowns – how to approach ranking and best-of-three questions
- 🎥 Walkthroughs of recall-style scenarios – showing reasoning in real time
- 🎥 Webinar recordings – expert sessions covering SJT pitfalls and high-scoring techniques
This helps you bridge the gap between knowing the rules and actually applying them in the exam.
