    Common Exam Mistakes

    Pitfalls to avoid in your exams

    • •Forgetting to check for danger before approaching a casualty, compromising personal safety.
    • •Incorrect hand placement or insufficient depth during chest compressions, reducing effectiveness of CPR.
    • •Performing abdominal thrusts on a casualty who is coughing effectively, which can cause unnecessary harm.
    • •Applying a tourniquet for non-life-threatening bleeding, which can lead to tissue damage.
    • •Misidentifying the signs of shock, leading to delayed treatment or failure to call emergency services.
    • •Placing an unresponsive casualty in the recovery position without first ensuring the airway is clear and breathing is normal.

    Top Examiner Tips

    Expert advice for exam success

    • •Always state ‘I am checking for dangers’ aloud during practical assessments to demonstrate safe approach.
    • •Memorise the DRABC sequence and the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio (30:2) for adult CPR.
    • •Practice the recovery position until you can perform it smoothly without causing unneeded movement of the casualty.
    • •In written assessments, distinguish clearly between minor cuts and severe bleeding when choosing treatment methods.
    • •For shock, emphasise continuous reassessment and keeping the casualty warm, as these are often missed in scenario-based exams.
