With this method they were able to see that the majority of students felt that the formative prepared them well and reduced anxiety about the summative. We suggest that another questionnaire after the real ISCE would provide more insight into the utility of the mock.

In conclusion, this mock online ISCE could be altered in the ways we suggest, making it a more useful exercise ahead of the real exam, and ultimately helping students become better clinicians in the new era of telemedicine.
