Before interview

Not named on the Clearing House list of courses using short-listing tests. Short-listing assesses the ability to link theory and practice, potential for hypothesis testing and formulation, and personal and professional qualities consistent with NHS values.

Neither the Clearing House nor the course names a test. That is an absence of a statement, not a statement of absence.

At interview

A single combined admissions interview of 75 minutes covering clinical and academic or research areas, using a standard set of questions and scenarios. The course states candidates can expect “a brief role-play addressing a specific clinical situation” and “a critical analysis of a research abstract”.

  • Panel interview
  • Role-play with an actor or panel member
  • Written task

Worth knowing

UEA asks applicants not to share interview materials or questions with other candidates after their interview. This site publishes nothing derived from real interview or test content.

Practice here is relevant

If you have applied here

No short-listing test is named here, so the application form and interview carry the weight. At interview this course uses role-play with an actor or panel member, 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.

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 University of East Anglia, the Clearing House, the BPS or the HCPC.
