Preparation advice (editorial): Practise SJT by explaining why a response protects patients, respects confidentiality or escalates a concern appropriately. Then review the official rationale, including why a nearby response is less suitable. Track reading mistakes separately from timing mistakes. Use the official practice tests (research accessed 2026-09-23) to rehearse the interface.
