ok so mine wasn't recent but I reckon this will help anyone about to do theirs...

take your own calculator - one you are used to using all the time. I forgot mine and used the one they supplied and all the buttons were in different places and I kept hitting the euro button and wondering why the answers were a bit off!!!!

Good luck, breathe (something i forget to do when under pressure) and take copius amounts of rescue remedy!

think of the scariest person/ person you'd most like to impress / person you admire the most in your practice and ask then to watch you do stuff! anything | it doesnt matter really, this will help you get over the being watched bit but you need to do it enough to get used to it.

Download & practise the tasks. Good luck

make sure you do them with people watching you to make you feel under pressure. I was fine at calculations until i had someone watching me and i would draw a blank.

Practice each test every day if you can and use an egg timer. If you can, have a mock practical infront of at least 2 of your colleagues. Go to the college practical days if they have them. I found these invaluable. The questions asked are really simple ones eg what margins did you collimate to, what transport media for urine, whats best circuit for 10kg dog, what other sites for i/m injections. Keep practising so you can do them in your sleep and youll be fine. Good luck with them
