Are the practice scenarios real OSCE questions?
No. Every scenario in our RN OSCE check is our own, written to practise the skills the handbook lists1. The candidate rules forbid copying or reconstructing exam items1, so be wary of anyone selling remembered stations.
What are they based on?
The published candidate handbook: the skills that may be tested1, the 10-minute station shape1, and the standards each station is marked against1.
Is the checklist the real marking scheme?
No. The criteria examiners use for each station are not public, so our checklist is our own, built from safe practice. Every point says why it matters, and none of it predicts your result.
Does anyone vouch for prep courses?
No. The NMBA and Ahpra say they do not endorse any OSCE preparation programs12. That includes ours, and anyone who claims otherwise is worth questioning.
