Description
Start like it’s exam day — and find your gaps fast
ABOHNS (ABOTo) Written Boards/Qualifying Exam — Mock Paper A is built for candidates who want an early,
data-driven baseline and a plan that actually improves scores. Instead of “topic drills,” this paper trains what the written boards reward:
application of knowledge, clinical reasoning, and pacing.
We’ve intentionally structured Mock Paper A as a timed half-length block:
150 questions over 150 minutes — the right size to identify weaknesses while forcing efficient decision-making.
The full written exam is commonly described as ~300 questions across ~6–7 hours — so your prep must train stamina and tempo,
not just recall.
What’s included
- Mock Paper A: 150 board-style SBA/MCQ questions in a strict 150-minute sitting
- Detailed explanations: learn the “rule,” not just the answer
- Trap-proofing: common distractors, look-alikes, and time-sink patterns
- Gap map: turn your results into a focused revision plan by domain
Suggested high-yield schedule
- Weeks 12–10: Sit Paper A (baseline). Build a Rules List from misses.
- Weeks 10–8: Target weak areas using your Q-bank/revision.
- Weeks 8–6: Re-sit missed questions 48 hours later, then again at 10–14 days.
- Weeks 6–4: Increase timed blocks and reduce “time sinks.”
- Final month: Rehearse longer sittings so exam day feels familiar.
Who this is for
- Candidates who want a baseline early and a clear, targeted study plan.
- Candidates who want to train timing, stamina, and accuracy under pressure.
- Anyone aiming to reduce “surprise gaps” before the ABOHNS WQE / ABOTo written exam.
