Common Exam Mistakes
Pitfalls to avoid in your exams
- •Confusing mentoring with directive coaching, leading to a lack of mentee-led goal setting.

- •Providing insufficient evidence of reflective practice, such as a reflective journal or self-assessment, which is critical for demonstrating continuous improvement.
Top Examiner Tips
Expert advice for exam success

- •Use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) technique when writing reflective accounts to structure your examples clearly.
- •Familiarize yourself with the specific assessment plan for ST0148 to ensure you address each required component, such as the professional discussion and observation.
