Before interview
Tests are used and the format is not published. The course states: “Our selection test process for 2027 entry is currently being reviewed and therefore we cannot share further information at this stage.” Everyone meeting the minimum entry criteria is invited to sit them, and the interview short-list is compiled from the test scores.
The course confirms a test exists but does not publish its format.
At interview
Described as multi-faceted, assessing academic, clinical, professional and personal learning and aptitude alongside NHS values.
- Panel interview
- Values-based questioning
Applicant-reported, not published
Applicants have reported a situational judgement element at Salomons in previous cycles. The course withholds its format, so this is neither confirmed nor denied.
This is not on the course's page. We keep it separate from what the course publishes rather than merging the two, because a report is not a source.
Worth knowing
This is one of two courses whose format is actively withheld, and one of the two most plausible current users of an SJT for exactly that reason. The 2027 process is under review, so anything from a previous cycle may not apply.
Partly relevant
If you have applied here
This course tests before interview and will not say what the test is. At interview this course uses values-based questioning, which is the same reasoning the practice here rehearses.
What to do
- Work through the scenario practice — it rehearses weighing imperfect responses against professional standards, which is what these tasks assess.
- Read the course’s own selection page before you prepare. It is linked on this page and it is the only authority on its own process.
Where this site does not help
- Because the format is withheld, nothing here is matched to this course’s test. Any site claiming to know what it contains is guessing.
Practice material here reflects what research and first-hand accounts indicate these assessments are like. No course publishes its test, so nothing is confirmed and this site claims no inside knowledge. Not affiliated with Salomons, the Clearing House, the BPS or the HCPC.
