Press release: Successful revision webinar for ABDO students

The ABDO Examinations Department has hosted a successful two day webinar on 29 and 30 July, free of charge to all final year students to help them prepare for summer session practical examinations.

Over two hundred students registered to attend the webinars. Alicia Thompson BSc(Hons) FBDO R (Hons) SLD SMC (Tech), Director of Professional Examinations says, “Students could tap into a mixture of videos, live demonstrations, lectures, case discussions, Q and A, and mock exams. We are grateful to the examiners and ABDO staff who contributed their time and expertise voluntarily to make this happen. I feel this event has helped to instill  confidence in final year students.”

Student feedback on the event was overwhelmingly positive:

• Extremely useful to have had these revision days. Amazing knowledge from everyone with really useful tips for exams
• Excellent, very thorough
• 10/10 🙂
• The tutors were very clear and to the point. I found the revision days very helpful.
• Very well structured, great content and visible examples and training were good refreshers.
• I feel much more at ease about the exams and look forward to qualifying. Very well done

For those who could not make it, and those who want to revisit the revision event, the webinar recordings, Q and A sessions, handouts and case records can be found here: https://www.abdo.org.uk/examinations/dispensing/#fqe

The comprehensive FQE revision guide is also on ABDO’s website.

Practical examinations will start this month and continue until 18^th December 2020, to ensure that we can accommodate our students safely and arrange practical dates to suit our students who are at varying stages of completing their practical experience.
