Final FRCA (SOE) viva practice
The Final FRCA SOE tests clinical judgement and applied science out loud — a safe, structured answer defended under questioning, in the register of a UK college oral. Below is every area you can drill on Viva Station, grouped the way the syllabus is. Each links to a page on how that topic tends to be examined — then you can sit a timed spoken station on it.
Practise this out loud with an AI examiner. Your first 2 stations are free.
