Preparing for postgraduate examinations.
Nearly all junior doctors have to revise for and take postgraduate examinations while doing busy hospital jobs with nights and weekends on call. The pass rates vary for different postgraduate examinations, but are all much lower than for medical school finals. For many young doctors, this will be their first experience of examination failure and is consequently harder to deal with.
