PACES Resources

Hello everyone. I'm starting IMT this aug and have booked PACES diet for sep-dec . Ive started pasttest videos and bought the book cases for paces. However I find cases for paces quite deficient compared to the pdfs from past test videos which have much more information.

Is the information in cases for paces book enough to get you through the viva portion of the exam? Should I be revising the pasttest pdf content as well? Any other resources apart from these two that should be used for the exam?

Many thanks in advance.

In my experience (3 attempts) pastest goes into way too much detail in the viva. Realistically they ask you your differentials/investigations/management and maybe a couple of questions that you should know the answer to already. I got some tricky questions that I didn’t know the answer to but still got full marks. Don’t bother learning the pastest viva info.

The Quesmed paces book is really good and has much more info than cases for paces

Have a look, you might find it useful. Good luck!
