PersonalYour finals OSCE, practised the way it is examined: out loud.
Every school runs its OSCEs differently, so there is no single format to copy. You set the circuit length, the station clock and the reading time to match yours, then work through undergraduate stations with a patient who answers back.
Built for clinical placements, mock OSCEs, standardized-patient exams and finals — in any country.
The moments in a degree when talking to a patient is the thing being marked.
On placement
You have seen the condition on a ward round and read about it twice. Saying it to a patient, in order, with a clock running, is a different skill — and it is the one your OSCE marks.
Before a mock OSCE
A mock is meant to show you what you cannot do yet. If you have already said the words a few times, it can teach you something specific rather than just teaching you that you freeze.
Finals
The clinical half of finals asks whether you are ready to be a foundation doctor. Stations here sit at that level: histories, explanations, examinations requested out loud, and a plan you have to defend.
Set it to your school's format
Undergraduate OSCEs have no national format, so there is nothing for us to imitate. Set it to whatever your school does.
- Circuit length from a single station to 30, so a revision hour and a full mock both fit
- Station clock between 8 and 12 minutes, matching whatever your school uses
- Reading time from 30 seconds to three minutes, or none at all
- Stations drawn from the same library as every other track — 27 specialties, 868 cases
The transcript is the useful part.
Every station ends the same way: checklist coverage, the criteria you met and missed, movement in each of OSCEY's four domains, and the full transcript of what you said. Reading your own words back is where the habits show up.
OSCEY scores are practice estimates. They are not mapped onto any school's or examining body's marking scheme, and they are never a prediction of a result.
Is this the same as the UKMLA CPSA track?
No. The CPSA is the clinical component of the MLA, set and delivered by each UK medical school. This track is for undergraduate OSCEs generally — placement assessments, mock OSCEs and finals in any medical school, anywhere. If you are sitting the CPSA, use the UKMLA CPSA page.
What format do the circuits use?
Whatever you set. Circuit length runs from 1 to 30 stations, the station clock from 8 to 12 minutes, and reading time from 30 seconds to three minutes. There are no rest stations in this track, because no body publishes a break pattern for undergraduate OSCEs.
What level are the stations pitched at?
At the level of a junior doctor, which is where most schools set their final-year OSCEs. Earlier in the degree you can still run them — the debrief will simply show you more to work on.
Are the stations different from the exam tracks?
They come from the same library of 868 stations across 27 specialties. What changes is the circuit around them and the clock, not the cases.
Does the debrief use my school's mark scheme?
No. The debrief uses OSCEY's own four domains — data gathering, clinical management, interpersonal skills and technical assessment. It is not mapped onto any exam's marking scheme, and it is never a prediction of your school's result.
Does it work for US and Canadian schools?
Yes. Schools there assess with standardized patients rather than the term OSCE, and the format controls cover both: the library tags 159 stations in a US standardized-patient style alongside 184 for medical-school OSCEs, and the patient does not mind your accent.
Do I need an account?
No. Four stations are free with no account — one each from cardiology, respiratory, paediatrics and gastroenterology — and you can practise them up to five times a day. Full Access opens the other 864 and full circuits, and can be cancelled at any time.
Finals start with one spoken station.
Pick one of the four free stations, set the clock to whatever your school uses, and start talking.
OSCEY simulates patients. Your microphone audio is processed by Google Gemini to run the consultation and is not retained after the station. OSCEY provides practice feedback and practice score estimates only — not an official result, not a prediction, and not clinical advice.
