Thank you for those views.
One item which has emerged is the use of MCQs. Personally, I believe that they encourage a 'guess' mentality. To avoid this the questions and the possible answers, together, need very carefully to be phrased. Are they, at present?
A further issue relates to the use of "Confusers". (I must point out here that I have not seen any of these publications.) Notwithstanding that, I have heard it expressed that the use of these aids may encourage an element of learning by rote, purely to pass the examination. As a non-user of these items, I cannot comment personally on that, but am interested in the views of others. (Of course, used as aids to check knowledge already gained from conventional sources, and not as primary study materials, such batteries of questions and answers, if that is what they are, are, no doubt, useful and helpful.)
