I was wondering if someone could give me some help and guideline (or advice) about the screening examination, maybe someone that has already done

Hi Giulio. I sat the exams in March and I'm pleased to say that I passed them. I was warned before-hand they were very difficult, so I studied HARD, and they were still really difficult. Really focus on your anatomy and physiology, in detail, and I found electrotherapy required quite a detailed knowledge as well. Basically, unless you get stuck into the studying, it will be hard to pass. I spent some time going to the university library and using the books there, as I couldn't afford to buy them all. Also, I have had a job as a physio assistant for a number of months. I replied to a job advertising for a physio, and they took me instead, so you might be lucky finding physio assistant work somewhere. best of luck, Joanna
