Episode 19
It happens to most of us at some point in our careers, but what is it actually like to fail the Primary Exam? The enigmatic Dr. Sarah Stewart was kind enough to join me on this episode to discuss her experience failing the MCQ. We discuss how she navigated the path to re-sitting as well as some of the mental gymnastics that goes along with that. Sarah is the kind of person you want in your corner when life is not going how you planned it, so this is essentially the pep talk we all need right now. For those who have failed, who know someone who has failed or who just need some reassurance that everything will come out in the wash.
