For those who missed it/had trouble understanding it/would like it up here for future reference.
ICA
We are going to have 3 Air Topics (1 each for Respiratory/Haematology/GIT) which is worth 5% in total.
We have 2 Summatives. One after Respiratory system (for CVS & Respi) on March 13th and one after GIT (for Haemato & GIT) on May 22nd. Both Summatives are 12.5% each, and 25% together.
The format for both summatives are as follows:
MEQ | 2 Questions (1 on each system) | 40 marks | 40 mins
EMQ | 4 Questions (2 on each system) | 40 marks | 40 mins
OSPE | 2 Questions (1 on each system) | 20 marks | 10 mins
OBA | 50 Questions (25 on each system) | 100 marks | 75 mins
2 Summatives + 3 Air Topics = ICA
→ 25% + 5% = 30%
EOS 3
The Big One.
We don't know about OSCE as of yet (apart from the fact that it takes 2 days! :O) but we'll be briefed on it later.
For the theory side, the format is as follows:
MEQ | 4 Questions (1 on each system) | 80 marks | 80 mins | 25%
EMQ | 4 Questions (1 on each system) | 40 marks | 40 mins | 10%
OSPE | 24 Questions (6 on each system) | 240 marks | 120 mins | 40%
OBA | 60 Questions (15 on each system) | 100 marks | 90 mins | 25%
OBA & EMQ is one paper and is usually done in the morning.
MEQ is a seperate paper and is usually done in the afternoon, on the same day as OBA & EMQ.
OSPE is one paper and done on a seperate day from OBA, EMQ & MEQ.
EOS 3 will take place from 29th June to 2nd July.
Hopefully this post clears things up a bit. If I've made a mistake in any of this don't hesitate to correct me. :)
Loads of love and cheers,
