The clinical paper was easier compared to basic sciences which I had to guess most of answers.

there were lots of questions on national psychiatric morbidity survey.

i n clinical sciences most of questions were on child and old age psychiatry.

EMI in clinical are from , risk of abuse in elderly, antipsychotics and 2 from child psychiatry .

EMI in basic sciences are from statistics(child hood IQ, height and conduct disorder) and genetics as far as I can recall

1)guided mourning in pathological grief reaction is based on phobic model

2) First child increase in rate of alcoholism.

3) late onset depression in old age has good prognosis compared to early onset depression.

EMI Clinical

Denial

Denigration

Idealisation

Projective Identification

Reaction Formation

Sublimation

Splitting

1 A patient who had taken a large overdose before admission is agitated and is insisting on discharge. The SHO is left feeling extremely anxious and the patient now seems calm.

2 A patient tells of how happy his childhood was and how his mother was ‘brilliant’ until she had to give him up for financial reasons. From his notes we know he was taken into care because of severe neglect and abuse by his mother.

3 A patient has put in a complaint against a member of the team. The team member is confused because last week he told her how great she was. What is she missing?

[mosadoluwa 0]

i think the basic sciences ISQs were a straightforward aptitude test.

i just approached it as an IQ test...em,em-did anyone in the forum ACTUALLY study all those ethology/anthropology stuff and rodents' business??

[mosadoluwa 0]

clinicals sciences paper:

i think it's unfair to load the paper with so much subspecialties Qs.

gen. psych must have constituted <10% of the total Qs!!

the bulk were LD/old age/child.

[yasirkasmi 0]

Well, well, well. A truly unpleasant experience costing £100 per hour. There has to be a better may of spending money.

Basic sciences was a nightmare. Recognised maybe 10 ISQs. Loads of questions on stupid surveys - I thought they were at the bottom of the pile in terms of reseacrh? Questions on rats and cocaine. I think the exam was best suited to vets, psychologists, comedians and social commentators! The EMQs...I won't bother.

In fairness, I thought the clinical paper was quite straightforward with quite a few (maybe 40 or so) repeats from this forum, The EMQs were a lot easier.

Thanks to all who helped out on the forum.

critical review....they gave a graph for correlation coefficient?!!? i'd barely managed to get the definition right before i went in!!!! (and they didnt ask for a definition...damn!) does anyone know what the graph is called in QA???

i said scatter plot.....but thats about it. didnt know how they got the midline or whatever. are there other people out there who had similar probs or is it just me???

[ashlesha 0]

after i gave up trying to guess the answers, i thought atleast let me try and remember the questions to post them here.....but some of them are difficult to remember even as sentences!!?!!

my shot

epileptic seizures are associated with bulimia nervosa

if a male rat is made to display submissive behavour there is increased activity in nucleus accumbens.....(i think i got that 'sentence' right)

the one about rats injecting cocaine was the best...cant remember it though

genetic counselling for APO E has helped in Alzheimers.....or something like that

there are more lurking around in the back of my mind.......will post them as i get them

[Guest khuram]

i thought that it was a scatter plot and at that point i went back to question a1 to write that it was a correlational study!

[Asbo 0]

Well, well, well. A truly unpleasant experience costing £100 per hour. There has to be a better may of spending money.

The £100 has taught me a very valueable lesson...Next time i will be revising one week max. for the exam... I mean whats the point. There is so much guess work!
