    Top Examiner Tips

    Expert advice for exam success

    • •Use the direct observation to consciously demonstrate person-centred interactions, not just task completion
    • •In your portfolio, always evidence how you follow through on care plans, not just that they exist
    • •Reference relevant legislation (e.g., Care Act, Mental Capacity Act) when explaining your practice
    • •Prepare for the professional discussion by reflecting on challenging situations and how you resolved them
    • •Revise the key legislation: Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act 2005, and Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
    • •Use specific examples from your work experience during the professional discussion to demonstrate embedded practice.
    • •For the situational judgement test, carefully read each scenario and consider all options before selecting the most person-centred and least restrictive response.
    • •Always link your answers to the individual’s dignity, independence, and well-being.
