Testimonials

These webinars are excellent at framing how to think about MEQ questions. They have been very helpful.

You are already doing an amazing job for psychiatry trainees.

I found the Psych Scene Exam Prep Course to be a valuable and well-structured resource for preparing for the MEQ exam. The course helped me better understand what the exam is assessing and, importantly, how to approach questions in a structured, focused and time-efficient way.

Overall, the webinar was very helpful. Having also attended in January 2026, I could see Psych Scene’s commitment to continuous improvement being put into practice, particularly through the new pre-course material on question structure.

The quizzes are very helpful. They work through past exam questions and provide a practical approach to structuring an answer.

The online resources provide very helpful content on exam structure and technique that can be revisited as needed.

The course booklet contains excellent information and a wealth of knowledge, although the volume of material can feel a little overwhelming at times.

I would recommend this course to trainee colleagues and to other psychiatry colleagues as a refresher.

The training was completely relevant and included helpful tips and techniques.

The course was well structured and detailed.

Working through past exam questions was highly relevant and valuable. I especially appreciated how Dr Rege identified common patterns across questions, making them easier to approach and less overwhelming than viewing each as a completely different scenario.

Dr Sanil’s teaching method—including his humility and openness to feedback—draws on a gold mine of wisdom from years of clinical experience and exam teaching.

Excellent, the teaching was very helpful.

Dr Rege has excellent knowledge and delivers it in a way that is easy to understand and follow. His teaching also instils confidence.

The course struck a really good balance, covering the content while engaging with past exam-paper vignettes in real time.

Thank you so much for the MCQ tutorial. It was incredibly helpful, and I really appreciated the time and effort that went into it. The last-minute resources, particularly the 400 practice questions, made a real difference. Many of the question themes felt familiar during the exam, which helped me work through it more quickly and with greater confidence. I’m very pleased to share that I passed the MCQ. My exam result was significantly higher than the scores I had been achieving in practice, which was such an encouraging outcome. As this was my second attempt, I’m especially grateful to have succeeded this time. Thank you again for your support and for contributing to this achievement.

I passed the MEQ exam on my first attempt. The weekend course was invaluable. I took time to read and plan, used key buzzwords from the stem, and applied the structure taught in the course. The lived experience question initially caught me off guard, but using the structure, I was able to dissect and brainstorm my response. The course was incredibly helpful, and I have recommended it to my fellow registrars.

I am thrilled to share that I was successful in the March 2026 MCQ sitting, in large part due to the wonderful resources available through Psych Scene. Thank you, as always, for the fabulous work you do supporting us, trainees.

Psych Scene has been invaluable in helping me pass both my MCQ and MEQ examinations this year. Dr Rege’s explanations of key concepts across psychiatry are always well structured and easy to follow. The critical analysis videos, in particular, were excellent at breaking down what can initially feel like a jargon-heavy area for the MCQ, helping me feel less overwhelmed by those questions. The live MEQ course was also excellent for ensuring we had the right balance of breadth and depth in our answers, which really helped refine my exam technique. I appreciated being able to ask questions and receive in-the-moment feedback, including examples of different ways to approach question stems. The marking was also very helpful, as it provided constructive feedback and a more experienced perspective on my answer style. This helped me identify domains I needed to remember to cover. I would absolutely recommend Psych Scene to other registrars preparing for exams.

This course was incredibly helpful, thank you.

It’s a great course and really well run! Thank you!

The webinar was excellent. The format was easy and smooth, with a high level of interactivity. The interactive elements were the single most important factor contributing to my learning.

The course booklet has been extremely useful. The dot-point summaries clearly highlight key information and have become the main resource I’m using to build my knowledge.

This course has taught me to think differently as a psychiatrist. I’ve noticed a shift towards more comprehensive and sophisticated clinical thinking, which I believe will translate into better outcomes for my patients.

The experiential knowledge and skills developed over the two days surpassed the benefits I would typically gain from a month of personal study.

The structured approach was extremely helpful and played an important role in reducing exam-related anxiety.

The course was very practical and high-yield for the MEQ exam. Working through the questions collaboratively provided exactly the experiential learning I needed.

A great crash course that enhances how we think about and approach MEQ questions. It provides a clearer framework for structuring answers under exam conditions.

A very helpful and well-organised course. I would confidently recommend it to colleagues preparing for MEQ examinations.

The Psych Scene MEQ course was really useful. It helped me learn to take a step back and consider what I should be doing before I start answering the question, which I think will improve my structure. Thinking about domains was particularly helpful in ensuring breadth and covering as many areas of the mark scheme as possible within the time limits of the exam. Thanks so much!

I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Dr Sanil Rege for his teachings. The MEQ course has helped me pass the MEQ exams with a great score. His clear explanations, structured approach, and emphasis on clinical reasoning and understanding the questions were invaluable in helping me prepare for the MEQ exams.

Psych Scene is one of the best educational sites for Psychiatry. Thank you for all your hard work in providing easily accessible information to registrars like me.

Our group of three relied solely on your material for the MCQ exam, and we’re thrilled to share that we all passed with flying colours. The quality of the content and the effort you’ve invested in making complex concepts so accessible are truly outstanding. We’re deeply grateful for your dedication and hard work.

This live course was highly relevant to the exam and kept me engaged, which I found very helpful.

The webinar arrangements were well-executed, with a good level of interactivity. The chat function was easy to use and did not disrupt the flow of the presentation.

The course content closely matches the exam material and is very useful as preparation prior to the exam.

Dr Sanil Rege is doing a great job. The course content was excellent, the webinar ran smoothly with excellent interactivity, and the training was highly relevant. I found the course booklet and Psych Scene online resources useful as well. Thank you for delivering such a valuable learning experience.

Outstanding resource that significantly boosted my confidence going into what seems like a difficult and elusive exam. The online resources are also excellent—well-structured, clearly laid out, and highly engaging.

The webinar was instrumental in helping me understand how to write more nuanced, formulation-based responses. Without it, I wouldn’t have fully grasped the depth expected in answers. The online resources were helpful, but the live interaction really brought everything together.

I found that starting with questions rather than frameworks was far more effective. It helped reduce overthinking and allowed for more natural brainstorming. Working backwards into the framework made it easier to apply.

The information was presented in a very organised manner. Knowledge was conveyed through examples and attendee discussion, which I found helpful. The information technology staff also did a great job.

Really appreciated the focus on the vignette and real-life strategies. I feel much more prepared for the exam and consultant life—thank you so much to Dr Rege and the team!

Excellent course, he simplified things so well and made me feel more confident about how to approach the upcoming exam. I can't think of anything that needed to change. Thank you so much, I will recommend this course to others.

The webinar was very helpful in providing a framework that is useful for study preparation.

This provided a guide to thinking and structuring answers, which can be utilised in both exams and real-life clinical practice.

The MEQ webinar by Dr. Rege completely changed how I approach vignettes. It taught me to focus on understanding the question deeply, not just rushing to the answer. It really helped me slow down and think more critically and broadly. Thank you, Dr. Rege.

I highly recommend the PsychScene MEQ (Modified Essay Question) preparation program to any psychiatry trainee preparing for their exams. Dr. Sanil Rege’s teaching style is engaging, structured, and incredibly insightful. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex clinical scenarios into clear, manageable frameworks that are not only useful for exam preparation but also highly applicable in day-to-day clinical practice. One of the most helpful aspects of the course was Dr. Rege’s new approach to tackling MEQs, especially when it came to navigating the often-confusing wording in exam instructions (describe, discuss, justification, etc). His method simplified what initially seemed like convoluted tasks, helping me focus on the clinical reasoning and structure of my answers rather than getting lost in semantics. The MEQ course is thoughtfully designed, focusing on high-yield content and strategies tailored specifically to the format of the RANZCP exams. Dr. Rege emphasises clinical reasoning, formulation skills, and diagnostic clarity—all essential components for success in MEQs and real-world psychiatry. The use of case-based learning, visual aids, and structured templates significantly enhances both understanding and retention. What sets this program apart is Dr. Rege’s genuine dedication to improving trainee performance and confidence. His passion for psychiatry and education is evident throughout the course. The feedback, tips, and clinical pearls he provides are invaluable. Thanks to this program, I felt much more confident approaching the MEQs and gained deeper insight into clinical reasoning that will benefit me throughout my career. It’s an investment well worth making.

I’m a SIMG who followed Psychscene MEQ and CEQ courses. I passed the MEQ in August last year and the CEQ this March. Your course helped me immensely to get through the exams on the first attempt. Thank you so much!

I'm thrilled to let you know that I passed the MEQ—and it's all thanks to you. Your course was the only resource I used, and it helped me succeed on my first attempt. I'm incredibly grateful for your webinars, online courses, and especially the live session I attended just a week before the exam. Your guidance made a huge difference. Thank you so much for your support. I look forward to continuing to use your resources as I progress toward becoming a psychiatrist. Eternally grateful!

I passed the exam on the first attempt. Your course and study material helped me a lot. Especially the weekend workshop in which you discussed the recent past papers. Thank you very much !

I passed my MEQ on my first attempt! The entire course was incredibly helpful, and I found the last webinar before the exam particularly valuable.Thank you again for your support.

Excellent course content. The Psych Scene EMQ and CAP course was one of my main resources of study for the RANZCP exam. It is not just about the practice questions provided but the approach to the questions that is crucial. Dr. Rege emphasises the approach throughout the videos which is what I found most useful not only for the exam but also for working through clinical problems in practice.

The course has been extremely helpful.

I recently completed the MCQ exam. The course was fantastic and covered the essential criteria covered in the exam. The CAP section was great to get a solid grounding of the key concepts and is actually enough to get through the exam. Keep up the great work @ Psych Scene.

During the webinar it was great that Sanil waited for us to enter our answers, no judgement, if we got them wrong, he was happy to explain things multiple times.

Highly impressive, thank you heaps Sanil et al.

The webinar was great. I liked the focus on recent exams, with trainees reading the notes beforehand.

Excellent course to help synthesise an approach to the exam, and the framework that needs to be implemented. The course is also relevant to clinical practice beyond the exam, and would highly recommend to any trainee.

You’re doing an excellent work to help trainees pass the college exam. Keep the flag flying!

I would recommend this course. It is useful for exam preparation and practical aspects in daily work.

I found that reviewing the past questions and frameworks were very helpful.

Amazing knowledge-based course. Definitely recommend!

The MCQ prep webinar was really helpful, I feel so much more prepared for the exam, high yield content was covered extensively.

Useful in clinical practice.

Absolutely recommend this course!! I’m enjoying starting to explore all the various platforms and resources Psych Scene offers. Thanks again!

I have unfortunately failed the MCQ before, and I wish I had done this course before. It really helped me understand where my approach needed to change. Incredibly helpful!

The content was structured, clear explanations and makes it feel manageable.

Amazing course content! The course was really helpful in gaining a strong understanding on how to develop recognition of patterns, key buzzwords and concepts and thus where to focus my study.

I wish to share my success in the CEQ exam recently. I had enrolled for online exam prep courses for the MCQ, MEQ and CEQ exams and cleared all in first attempt. Thanks to the Psychscene team for support!

Hello Psychscene! I just wanted to say that I’ve passed the MEQ. Over the years, I’ve passed MCQ, MEQ and CEQ in ONE attempt with your guidance! Absolutely amazing teaching 💖 Thanks so much!

A really interesting and well run course, thank you. Brought up some interesting concepts linked to clinical situations and demonstrated well how alternative approaches interlink and can be used together.

I had two months of preparation. After doing all of the videos and practice exams, the actual exam felt exactly like one of the Psych Scene practice exams. It was a relief as there were quite a few unusual questions that were covered.

Dr Sanil Rege is an excellent psychiatrist and teacher who is very well-informed and highly skilled and continues to inspire us registrars by delivering fantastic, relevant and interesting presentations!!! Thank you very much, Dr Rege!!!

I would recommend it to anyone who is in the training pathway who has not done this course. I found this significantly more useful than all of the FEC I had completed.

I want to advise that I passed both my MCQ and MEQ exams in my first attempt. I was enrolled into the respective psychscene online prep courses and feel I gained heavily from these courses.

Thank you so much for your help. I have been a psych reg for 2 months, and you have helped me a lot knowing where I should get to by the time I am in stage 3 and in consultancy. Thanks' a lot.

I passed the RANZCP CEQ exam on the first attempt. Thank you for your guidance, resources and support which has helped me to pass this exam.

I did the CEQ and MEQ courses with Psych Scene and just wanted to share that I passed both. I'm very relieved.

Thank you very much Dr Sanil Rege for a brilliant presentation on formulation and management!! Very inspiring, relevant and informative. Highly recommended!!

Head on fire. Brilliant beyond words!

I undertook the CEQ and MEQ exams in February and passed both! This was my very first attempt at these exams! Your course was highly instrumental in helping me achieve this and I will forever be grateful!

Excellent, thank you so much! succinct, well explained good links and still managed some repetition.

The Greatest Psych Teacher of all time.

Excellent presentation, very useful for trainees. Thanks for allowing us to attend.

Probably the best presentation I’ve ever seen. The knowledge and range of the presentation were very well.

Sanil is the Best Psych Teacher in the world. Nobody beats this guy. An inspiration for me to keep learning. Gave me the confidence to face my fear for the psych exams when other supervisors and consultants do not care to teach.

Brilliant. Personable. Delivers great ideas clearly and efficiently.

The presenter, Dr Rege is one of the brightest presenters I have come across. Confident, loaded and articulate are ways I can describe him.

These webinars have catapulted my learning of psychiatry as a junior registrar and have made what was a steep learning curve easier to navigate.

Thanks Sanil and team, I just wanted to let you know that with your help I managed to score 93% on the CEQ. It was so encouraging to get the feedback so I could know I was on the right track.

Thank you so much. I have used what I have learned in the Academy in the last year with patients and seen improvements. I feel I have so much to learn yet there is always something I have learnt in every session.

Great lecture, opened my eyes towards the complexity of psychiatry yet the lecture was structured in a way to simplify concepts. Appreciate Dr Rege’s advocacy for clients so we can use better more specific and more evidence-based pharmaceuticals.

Thorough and in-depth explanation of basic as well as advanced aspects of diagnosis, formulation and holistic evidence-based management of psychiatric disorders by Dr Sanil. Keep it up.

Brilliant teacher. Very clear and informative explanations. Content is always very interesting, practical and relevant. Very grateful for all your content and teaching keep up the wonderful work!

I would recommend this course to my trainee colleagues as well as other psychiatry colleagues as a refresher.

I participated in both the online EMQ/CAP course and the 2-day intensive course and found both of them to complement each other nicely. I would encourage exam candidates to engage in both offerings as I personally found this to be beneficial.

I love Dr Rege’s approach and his way of teaching. He’s an extremely experienced clinician but also an excellent educator. I did his course on EMQ and CAP, which I found helpful not only for the exam itself but also for my clinical practice. I would highly recommend Psychscene and his lecture series to anyone.

Excellent presentation by Dr Sanil Rege. Very important and relevant to us Registrars

It was really interactive, I felt Dr Rege answered all questions and involved us all in the webinar.

Very helpful and useful. Very lucid explanations. Very grateful 🙏🏽

Much better than another prep course by someone else which I’ve also done.

Brilliant style, quality of content, the range and integration of the topics were optimal and the language of Dr Sanil Rage was very clear, his pronunciation was perfect for me because my second language is English.

Amazing breadth of overview in a concise manner that inspires further learning.

Thank you very much Dr Sanil Rege for a brilliant presentation on formulation and management! I highly recommend it to all psychiatry registrars!

Highly relevant - the 2-day intensive course and post-course materials were particularly useful.

I am happy to share that I have cleared CEQ. Both MEQ and CEQ workshops were immensely helpful in passing the exams. With this I am happy to share that I have cleared all 3 summative assessments of stage 3. I will miss the workshops, however I have subscribed to The Academy so that I will keep learning. Thank you again for all the knowledge passed on and support to date.

I have cleared my MEQ in the first attempt. I would like to thank you for all the support. The Masterclass helped me structure my thoughts. The tips by Dr. Rege regarding identifying the situation and bringing in templates helped me check any missing bits and pieces. Once again, thank you for being so supportive and not caring about the extra time you spent during the master classes helping us recapitulate the themes.

Great breadth, great encouragement!

I appreciated being taken through the process of thinking like a consultant, and the broad approach taught. It helped to simplify and make it a less overwhelming approach to the MEQ.

I can’t thank you enough for your dedication to teaching, and providing such a breadth of practical knowledge in one place.

I attended the EMQ & CAP Live course and found the online resources content excellent.

Brilliant presentations! Mental Health is a big part of General Practice and all GPs should attend this masterclass! Thank you Dr Sanil Rege.

I would highly recommend this course to my trainee colleagues, especially CAP knowledge which is handy for scholarly projects.

I have attended both your online course and exam workshops, needless to say, I've passed the MEQ exam too, having already passed CEQ last year! You have a big role in my academic achievements, so please have your share of thanks!

Thank you for your valuable time and commitment to ongoing education. You never fail to impress, motivate and stimulate young minds!!

Thank you very much for the MEQ workshop which has helped me immensely in the preparation.

I was successful in the MEQ examination which was held in Feb 2023.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and psych scene team as I have passed the MEQ exam. Your guidance, practical suggestions including the "buzz words", pre course and post course resources were extremely helpful. The structure and time management recommendations did the trick. I am glad that I took the course and aced the exam at first attempt. My next target is CEQ exam which I am going to attempt in August this year hopefully. Thank you for all your efforts to provide the trainees with proper guidance. Keep up the good work!

Excellent presentation! Truly a masterclass. Dr Sanil Rege is a fantastic speaker and has the ability to explain complex psychiatry concepts in a simplistic fashion. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic presentation skills- great framework formulation and thought processing. -The most impressive and useful psychiatric conference/workshop I've ever attended..and I've been to heaps!

The case studies were very helpful to apply the knowledge. Absolutely brilliant day learning so much from Dr Sanil Rege.

Very structured and clear presentation especially of the brain function to enable us to understand the conditions and how medications work.

Dr Sanil Rege is an exceptionally brilliant presenter and speaker. Learned objectives are perfectly met. I recommend this conference to all GPs, interested in General Practice Psychiatry

Thank you very much. I now feel more confident prescribing mood stabilisers. Would love to attend again.

I will carry forward the diagnostic hierarchy approach to my practice. Such an excellent workshop, I am extremely thankful to Dr Sanil Rege.

Very clear, excellent, educative, informative and useful session. Sanil is very knowledgeable on the subject of psychiatry!

I am glad to let you know that I have passed the MCQ exam which took place in March'22. I attended the 2 days course at Psychscene (online) to prepare for the exam. I found all the study materials, and questions very helpful, especially the mock tests. That really helped me with my last minute preparation. Thank you again for providing an excellent structure and guidance to approach this tricky exam. I am really grateful to you and the Psychscene team. I will be in touch with you again while preparing for my remaining exams and I am hopeful that with your guidance I will be able to pass these exams too. Thank you again for your support and guidance.

I am glad to inform you that I have cleared the written exam (CEQ and MEQ) in August 2021. I would highly recommend your course and the study material to all my colleagues appearing for this exam. The more I practiced your resources the more I developed my personal style for approaching MEQs. I think the clarity you provide during the main course and the short webinar before the exam is of immense importance, especially for SIMG candidates like me who come from a different system of examination and preparation. The most valuable tip I learnt with practice is pattern recognition in time constraints and exam pressure. Thank you for helping me get through one of the most important milestones in my fellowship.

Thanks to your great courses, I have managed to pass all of my college examinations in the first attempt!! The marks suggest easily that without the clarity of your frameworks it wouldn’t have been possible!!!

Sanil's course is great! He provides hope and is a strong role model. His course provides the skills to deconstruct the College's exams and excel as a professional. I look forward to dive into the material and earn my authority as a future psychiatrist.

The webinar has been exceptionally useful. Well organized and the content and advice have surpassed by far any other course I have attended. Dr. Rege's approach is constructive and not intimidating which is invaluable.

Excellent and completely relevant material for current practice and insights into the exams were brilliant. The journey through psychiatry is like a rudderless and oarless boat. Dr Sanil provides the rudder and the motor to help you navigate your training to be relevant and productive. Thanks Again.

This is my 1st time attending webinar by Psyche Scene and even though it was over the weekend it was definitely worth the time. Dr Sanil Rege kept the session interactive, addressed not only the theoretical aspect but also kept it clinically relevant. It also imparted skills critical for RANZCP exams.

Thank you for making access to professionals available. It is encouraging to have wise heads together to contemplate important topics.

Many thanks to Sanil for continuing to raise the bar for education, training and continuing professional development in mental health. And for bringing us speakers/discussions/courses that are relevant, inspiring and talk to the challenges we all face working in such a complex field, with its knowledge base that is always evolving!

As a GP who sees many patients with mental health problems, Psych Scene education is just what I've been looking for!

Brilliant presenter! Explains it so well & didn't go too fast; reinforced new knowledge with repetition. Fantastic learning experience!

This is the best psychiatry webinar I have ever watched. advice all GPs to attend!

I see so much mental health and having to do much more management of severe cases than ever before. This was fabulous thank you. I will go back to look at the other series

A fantastic and informative webinar with lots of great discussions. Love psyche scene!

The Psychiatrists perspective on Addiction and Comorbidities are of value when informing GPs and Psychiatry Trainees on current evaluations.

The most fabulous series I have ever attended! Finally psych in a biological model. 80% of my workload is mental health so I could not be more grateful.

This course was AWESOME, I have been doing mental health for 30 years and it was the first time it was provided in a pharmaco-biological model LOVED IT.

Very clear, excellent, educative, informative and useful session. Sanil is very knowledgeable on the subject of psychiatry!

Great presenter, easy to understand, logical, incredible capacity to juggle questions electronically as well as present.

It is very useful to get the overview of exam pattern, structure and improve efficiency in presenting ourselves. This course has improved my confidence and helped me enjoy clinical interactions.

As always, a great course which has helped me with my approach to the OSCE, especially with regards to structure and layout. Very applicable to clinical practice. Feel more confident with both.

A great summary of how to formulate effectively and rapidly in a useful manner. This gives me enthusiasm for the OSCE exam and I am looking forward to continuing to build my own knowledge base.

I genuinely feel that the MCQ preparation course I did, helped me pass the exam on my first attempt, and this is why I have been recommending it to all my colleagues about to sit the same exam. I am someone who really benefits from didactic teaching or drilling me with the same specific information or answer until it becomes an immediate association in my mind. I have found other styles of teaching way too vague and like to be given very clear direction on specific things to study or do which I find this course provides.

The Psych Scene EMQ & CAP prep course is essential! I don’t know how I could do this exam without this knowledge. Very clear explanations of difficult areas you don’t cover unless you’re a career academic. This is a very helpful course and it gives good insight into the exam structure and what to focus on. Thank you Sanil and team!

I’m a mother of two, working full time who sat the MCQ exam in NSW. I relied mostly on Psych Scene for my exam prep as I recognised it was “bang for my time” so to speak. I got a score of 72.5% on CAP and 66.1% in the general questions which I was very happy with. Thank you! I will be doing more of your courses in future.

Dear Sanil and the team, I would like to pass my sincere gratitude to the support that you are offering to registrars. I find this new online MCQ course to be very interactive and fascinating. Especially the colours help immensely the visual memory which makes the study enjoyable. Your creativity is admirable and inspiring.

Hi Sanil, I just wanted to thank you very much for your courses. I passed both my writtens and OSCE on the first attempt. Thank you v much, your courses are invaluable

I wanted to thank you for your brilliant guidance and course. I only studied your course resources for the MEQ and it was no doubt key in passing this exam. I have recommended your course highly to all my friends.

I recently passed the exam, a big thank you to you and your team for the interactive workshop. For me, personally, i think the part I hugely, hugely benefited from is the CAP which you covered really well and set the blue- print for further practice.

This was a great summary of knowledge and techniques to pass the essay exam. I would highly recommend this course and wish I had done it earlier during my training.

Thank you for all your guidance! I passed my essay exam. This would not have been possible without the Psychscene course.

Dear Sanil, Jaana and team Psychscene It is with great joy I inform you that I have passed the essay exam. Thanks to you and the excellent resources you offer, I have been able to pass all my exams in a single attempt. Sanil's discussion points on approaching a topic have proven to be beneficial, not just for exams, but with clinical practice as well. And I am grateful for having you facilitate my learning! The last year had been incredibly difficult for us, with several losses of loved ones and I was unable to sit the exam earlier. Thank you for providing me with access to the post-course resources which were very helpful!! I only wish I had written my essays and had them reviewed (which would be a suggestion to people sitting this exam) Thank you so very much for being part of this journey and I look forward to be able to give back to the best of my capacity.

Just found out I passed the OSCE, my last college exam! I have passed all three exams the first time. I committed to giving each exam everything, so I only had to do them once, and I’m sure your courses have contributed to my success. For me, the pattern recognition, structure and “bigger-picture” concepts you outline were particularly helpful. You provided a great balance in the live courses so that I could believe it was possible to pass but also the push I needed to “up my game”. In the OSCE, I felt extremely prepared for the viva station surrounding a complaint and the failing doctor station. When I read the vignettes, they felt like a gift rather than a heartsick. I train in a regional centre where there are only a few trainees and no formal exam preparation, so your live and online courses have been a lifeline. As much as I have hated the exams, I know the process of preparing for them alongside your courses will make me a better psychiatrist. Once again, a big thanks.

My sincere thanks to all of you for contributing to my success in the August 2018 MCQ exam. Psychscene's courses and resources are easily the best investment any exam-bound RANZCP trainee can make in their preparation. I am confident that adhering to the formula for successful study outlined in Dr Rege's EMQ/CAP workshop is what ultimately tipped the scales in my favour. I found the EMQ question bank to be the most valuable post-course resource for me, especially since a number of the questions appeared in the actual exam. The expansive subject material for CAP, which tends to be bête noire for many candidates (myself included) was refined in a way that made it coherent, relevant and exam-oriented. I look forward to attending one of the Psychscene CTF MEQ/CEQ courses later this year. Keep up the excellent work!

Very helpful course and post-course resources. I found the course and resources helpful in passing the exams.

I just wanted to thank you so much for your course which I attend in person over a year ago, and your online learning platform. I attended the MCQ exam today and your resource was by far the most helpful and I felt the most accurate reflection of the contents of the actual exam and in fact, some questions were repeated from your content!

The course was delivered in a direct, fun and interactive way with excellent coverage of psychiatry and relevant medical disorders.

I found this course completely shaped the way I will prepare for my exam. It gave me a clear focus and relevant frameworks and resources. Highly recommended. I loved the webinar format, it really worked for me.

The course helps one to prepare for the exams, as it is condensed and gives one the exam technique.

Fantastic course which truly enlightens one to the true nature of the exams and provides an invaluable set of strategies on how to approach preparing for and passing them. (RANZCP MCQ exam)

Just found out I passed the OSCE, my last college exam! I have passed all three exams the first time. I committed to giving each exam everything so I only had to do them once and I’m sure your courses have contributed to my success. For me, the pattern recognition, structure and “bigger-picture” concepts you outline were particularly helpful. You provided a great balance in the live courses so that I could believe it was possible to pass but also the push I needed to “up my game”. In the OSCE I felt extremely prepared for the viva station surrounding a complaint and the failing doctor station. When I read the vignettes they felt like a gift rather than a heartsick.

As much as I have hated the exams, I know the process of preparing for them alongside your courses will make me a better psychiatrist. Once again, a big thanks.

Fantastic. I can't thank you enough. I'm so grateful your course covers all the concepts in psychiatry that I hoped we would learn during our training to get a rounded understanding of psychiatry in context. Thank you so much.

The course was excellent. I would recommend this to all colleagues planning to sit the MCQ. Provided a structure for focusing your study closer to the exam, a means of understanding critical analysis and had great resources.

I want to thank you for the assistance your courses gave me with preparation for the exams. I just found out that I passed both the essay and OSCE. Your course also helped me pass the MCQ paper. I passed them all on the first attempt. All the resources from PsychScene definitely helped me achieve this.

I found his course invaluable for my preparation, he is a naturally excellent teacher but also going over and over the post-course resources, I think really helped on the day. I was getting on average 80-85% in EMQ and 90% in CAP in the lead-up. A lot of the concepts we went over came up, I especially loved the “spike and wave” question for CJD. The CAP was easier then I was expecting.

Great Course. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable presenter. Builds confidence that passing is attainable.

Excellent exam preparation guide! Useful resources on emerging practical scenarios and most recent evidence-based literature. good mix of MCQ questions to practice online.

I found this course completely shaped the way I will prepare for the exam. It gave me a clear focus and relevant frameworks and resources. Highly recommended. I loved the webinar format, it really worked for me.

I appreciate you showing a clear method for approaching the exam. Despite doing the course before, I left with more useful insights, and excitement about practising psychiatry in a critical reasoning- problem-solving approach.

This was a great summary of knowledge and techniques to pass the essay exam. I wuld highly recommend this course and wish I had done it earlier during my training.

Thought of sharing my exam success with you. I have passed my essay paper and OSCE exam. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest gratitude to you for all the valuable advice, exam preparation sessions, material you provided and guiding me on how to improve. I have attended all your live courses from preparation for EMQ to Essay and OSCE and found these as well as your psych interview online course to be of great value in my exam preparation. Thank you once again for your guidance and for assisting me every step of the way in my fellowship exams.

PsychEvidence online course is a well organised, understandable and containing the essential information to pass Paper B exam of MRCPsych comfortably. I recommend this online course to start with when preparing for that exam.

Great product. Good overview with videos and then great quizzes that solidified the knowledge.

The PsychEvidence online course is the perfect antidote for any candidate who is apprehensive about the critical appraisal component of the exam. The simple structure and clear layout of the contents make the entire course easy to navigate for even the most inexperienced trainee. Having absolutely no experience in research or statistics, I can vouch for the confidence the course gave me as I passed the exam using this as my only study resource after just one year of training. Sign up early and change the way you look at research forever!

The PsychScene EMQ live and online course is an invaluable and highly efficient tool that should be utilised by every candidate considering applying for the RANZCP EMQ exam. Thanks to the guidance and advice from the team at PsychScene I was able to pass this exam very comfortably after just one year of training! I encourage all new trainees to enrol as early as you can to boost your overall exam performance as well as help shape your mind to more mature and sophisticated points of view that will assist with challenges further down the track. A perfect blend of exam smarts and core critical knowledge. Don't miss it !

“Great content which was not only relevant to the development of my knowledge in the areas covered but also surpassed my expectations in certain aspects.”

The course should be integrated into mainstream teaching as part of psychiatric training from first year. As for the rest of us, it serves as a catalyst for integration of knowledge and experience gained through years of public service work.”

“Very effective case discussions. Excellent presenters. Really this is the Masterclass!”

“An amazing romp through a huge amount of information and skills.”

“A wonderful presentation. Highly relevant. Superb speakers. Full of provocative ideas. Lucidly outlined with confidence and clarity.”

“Excellent speakers and new approach from Sanil. Great information and practical information given. Thank you for an excellent conference and the opportunity to attend!”

“Very useful and relevant. Well organised. Good case studies”

“Excellent and very informative talk by Dr Sanil. Psychiatry has come alive and more meaningful”

“Excellent presenters, good content, Saturday well spent!”

“Very informative interactive and engaging programme.”

“Didn’t feel like an 8 hr workshop. Very interesting content and presentations.”

"Thanks for the great quality presentations. The speakers were very knowledgeable and great presenters."

I wanted to let you know that I passed the written essay exam first time round. I got 96.8% on the CEQ and in the 80%s on the MEQ. Your course and the resources you provided helped immensely with the MEQ. I had done another prep course which did not hit the mark at all in comparison.

Just writing to say that I passed my essay exam!!! Over the moon considering the pass rate was only 32% and it was my first attempt. I think your course was absolutely essential in gaining me the pass. Your post course resources covered at least 50% of the exam questions so that meant I had good responses already to go for those questions! Your course also gave me a great framework in order to attempt the new questions on the exam. Thanks again and I am referring all my colleagues.

I wanted to let you know that I passed the Essay-style written exam in August 2016 on my first attempt. I do sincerely believe that attending your course has had the lion's share in this. You might remember that -as a SIMG- with a preparation time of almost 2 months, I was quite skeptical and reluctant to sit for the exam this time. Your support and advice have positively and gladly affected my decision. Your course was to the point, organised and informative . I could not believe my eyes when I saw the exam questions and how well your course was exam focused. Thank you.

Dr Rege made me see that like the Bob Dylan song says I had to 'change my way of thinking'. A useful course to help you take the quality of your RANZCP exam answers up a level.

Overall a great course. Great value for money. I found the weekend course for MEQ extremely useful, the course helped me modify my thinking, form a template in my mind when approaching questions and I am finding this course is helpful even in my routine clinical work now. Thanks Sanil for such a useful weekend course. This certainly changed the way I look at clinical scenarios for the better.

The concepts were well explained with examples and helped me a lot in preparing for CAP (Critical Analysis Paper).

I started from NO KNOWLEDGE of evidence-based Psychiatry and found this course to be THE perfect starting point.

I would not have made it through without Psych Evidence. Thanks.

Thanks for a great weekend, fast paced and lots of relevant information covered in a relaxed atmosphere. I appreciated not being put on the spot to answer questions in front of the group. I left with a clear plan in my mind on how to approach my revision and preparation for the written exams. Highly recommended.

It is an excellent course and good level of knowledge gained over two days course, especially statistics. It also gives me the tools that I need to prepare for and pass the exam.

I would definitely recommend for trainees to do this course but be sure to do the precourse material thoroughly before attending to use the course most effectively.

Very useful - great kick start to study with guidance on what to focus on from a highly enthusiastic expert.

I wish I had this methodical approach to studying and learning when I first started training. I think I would have been so much more balanced in my approach and kinder to my patients and myself during the last 4 years...for not learning and memorising things as part of the strict dogmatic approach that often gets touted as the only way to perform an assessment or organise management. Thank you to the team at Psych Scene. You do a fantastic job...if only I had known earlier!.

Excellent, having done it prior, the material covered was easy and comfortable with it now. However, I hope this will translate to the actual exam, as real RANZCP exam papers were not analysed.

The MEQ/CEQ course was a great way to change usual patterns of thinking from a narrower focus into a broader perspective, which allows for good exam preparation as well as good day-to-day clinical decision making which incorporates modern evidence-based guidelines.

Psychscene, the real saver, period!

Really useful for conceptualising how to respond to the MEQs and provides a useful structure for practicing psychiatry in general.

I found this course to provide the most helpful teaching I have received leading up to the exam. Amidst an atmosphere of fear and confusion regarding the 2012 changes, Sanil provides advice and clarity which is both reassuring and constructive. I would recommend this course to anyone preparing for their Essay exam.

A great course - not just for the exam preparation but also for insight into the expectations and demands of being a consultant, especially in private practise.

"A useful course, pretty intense, but interesting and great material to reflect on and as a starting point for my exam preparation. I will be booking onto other courses!"

"Dr. Rege, you are the most inspirational and motivational psychiatrist I have ever met. You are incredible. Thank you!"

"Faultless"

"Very objective, evidence based and current. High yield content delivered in a wonderfully easy way."

This course has been great and really make preparation very easy. It also gave me direction to where my study should focus on. Thank you so much!

Fantastic course! I would recommend it to every single trainee prior to sitting the exam.

Well organised, comprehensive and concise study notes. Consistent approach, presenter is very competent, professional and energising. The pace kept me entertained.”

Overall, brilliant course for orientating exam candidates to the exam formats, questions and efforts/domains to focus on passing. It is also useful for refreshing senior psychiatrists. I would recommend it to anyone about to sit the exams with little idea of what the exams entail and how best to pass them.

“Enjoyed the serious approach to study – got more covered. Efficient process of delivery of material, yet able to transmit lots of relevant information.”

I just wanted to inform you that I passed all my exams and have been granted Fellowship this week! I did the MOCI and MOSCE this year Sep/Oct and the written last year. I passed all three exams the first time and I can't thank you enough for your absolute fabulous courses. I did all three and the Psychinterview as well. I can say without doubt that without them I would not have been able to do it.Thank you, thank you, thank you

I found the CTF OCI Course very useful in terms of providing a framework and how to approach the clinical exam.

The best decision I made in terms of preparation for the Clinicals. The structure provided by the course is invaluable.

I am pleased to inform you that I passed OSCE in first attempt. I am still awaiting my results for OCI. Thank you very much for the course and the videos that I found very informative and helpful for exam preparation.

Just wanted to let you know that I passed my writtens. Thank you - I couldn't have done it without your course.

I have finally passed my CASC examinations and I cannot deny that Psych Interview played an important role in preparing me for the exams. I learnt to give my interview more structure and use excellent interview skills which were displayed by Dr Rege who has been a great help. Thanks again to all staff involved in the making of the videos. Your hard work is not in vain!

I found the attention to structure in assessment, formulation and management highly beneficial. I feel much more confident after attending the CTF OCI Course.

The CTF OCI Course is very exam-focused, saves a lot of time.

Thought provoking and educational. Very good presentation. Would like to hear more. Websites will be helpful.

Great to see a vibrant Dr who looks outside the square and challenges the norm. Very exciting!

Extremely good presenter and very informative content.

The amazing animated presenter was lots of energy, great to have revolutionary psychiatrist on board.

Dynamic speaker. Very thought provoking information. More of this.

I just want to say special thanks for your help in passing my written exam, held in July 2010. I studied only 8 wks + this course & succeeded. Day 2 gave me huge confidence as CAP (Critical Appraisal) was my weakest link. That 2nd day approved vital at the end as I scored 70% in that portion & made recovery for other areas. Thanks again. I do recommend your course to everyone & hopefully will be in touch in the future especially for the clinical exam.

Awesome & fantastic presentation. A ‘clone’ would be good in every service.

A dynamic speaker made the science understandable to my lay-mind.

Fantastic teacher, truly gifted. Never thought it was possible to learn statistics in one day.

The Psych Evidence Workshop was enriching and germinal. Thank you very much!

Thank you for the Psych Evidence online course. It's very impressive!

Timely, thorough and exam-focused. I would highly recommend the CTF OCI Course to my colleagues!

“I've gotten through the written exam. The CTF Course was of great help; thanks to your team."

“Hi! Just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the CTF written examinations prep. The course was efficient and comprehensive, and gave a great reflection of the questions included in the real exam. I sat the written in March 2012 (in my second year of training) and passed first time! Thank you so much."

“I passed my written exam on the first go and I couldn't have done it without the CTF Course and the Psych Evidence Online Course, so thank you to the Psych Team."

“I have passed the MOCI exam this time. Thanks a lot for your support. The course held in January was really helpul and boosted my morale before the exam."

"I was ambivalent about attending this course but now I'm very happy that I managed to attend as I found it very useful. Many Thanks."

"Enjoyed the serious approach to study - got more covered. Efficient process of delivery of material, yet able to transmit lots of relevant information."

"For those new to the RANZCP style and expectations this is an invaluable course which, if taken early on in exam preparation, will save time, effort and money."

"This course is just what the floundering trainee needs to hone down skills for the clinical exam. Excellent approach to formulation and management that can be applied to any case."

"Psych Interview helped me to improve my communication skills and my confidence to face CASC."

"No exam candidate should go for exams without CTF which is a passport to enter the college."

"Thank you for your tremendous effort and brilliant course. I absolutely learned heaps and wish this had existed years ago! Many Thanks again."

"The CTF OCI Course should be integrated into mainstream teaching as part of psychiatric training from first year. As for the rest of us, it serves as a catalyst for integration of knowledge and experience gained through years of public service work."

"Really enjoyed the course - BEST value for money. Don't go to anyone else!"

"I have eventually passed the fellowship exam this time. Certainly material in your preparation course and psych interview is of highest standard. I modified my interview techniques based on learning videos which eventually worked for me. Thanks."

“Very well designed, with quality interviews; has helped me to change and reflect upon my old style.”

“Hi Psych Interview. Just want to say a big THANK YOU for amazing videos. I absolutely love them. Your contribution to Registrars' education and training is incredible.”

“I have passed the Exemption Candidate Exam in the first go. I attended the CTF workshop, went through the CTF course booklets on OCI and OSCE, and also practiced with the videos on Psych Interview. I definitely believe that your course materials have been extremely useful in my cruising through the fellowship exam! Thank you for the good work you are doing for the student community and the patients at large.”

“I have the CASC exam next week, and was browsing the web in the hope of finding something useful. I came across your clip on YouTube, and followed the link to your site. I am really disappointed not to have found you earlier, as the two demo videos were very good. Although a different format to the CASC exam, the content is completely relevant. Congratulations on a great training resource - it puts our own support to shame.”

"I found the Psych Interview videos very helpful for my CASC preparations. The pace of the interviews, the tips and the use of ICD 10 / DSM criterias were very helpful. I will definitely be recommending it to my friends and colleagues. Thank you."

I passed the clinicals on the first attempt with the CTF Course as my main preparation tool. Also Psych Interview helped me a lot in preparing for the MOSCE's. I don’t think passing the exam would have been possible without these two courses, and I am strongly recommending them to everyone. I think it is the best investment I have done in my life. Thanks for masterminding such an innovative course.

“I wanted to say thank you for your assistance in getting through the fellowship exams. I have now passed the OSCE and OCI first go and am very relieved that the examination phase of my training is over. I used all your available resources for both the writtens and the clinicals over the past 18 months and am grateful that you decided to fill the gap in training resources. In particular I found that the CTF OCI Course transformed the way I approached that exam which no doubt helped me get over the line first time. Thanks again."
