GSSE Paper 1 · Q05 / 30 42:15

Q05 — A 72-year-old man on apixaban and daily NSAIDs presents with haematemesis, melaena, HR 112, BP 92/60 (drops to 78/52 standing), Hb 78 g/L. Nearest hospital is 45 minutes by road. Which is the most appropriate immediate management?

ACall 000, IV access, fluids, cease ibuprofen, withhold apixaban, emergency transfer
BOral pantoprazole 40 mg BD, outpatient endoscopy within a week
COral iron replacement, recheck Hb in one week
DNasogastric tube for gastric lavage, monitor in clinic

Plate 01 · exam mode

Sit a full paper. Flag, skip, submit.

Exam-length, exam-timing, exam-pacing. No drip-fed feedback until the bell. The grid shows what's left, the timer respects the format, and the debrief afterwards links each miss back to a card, a viva, or a topic to revise.

  • 01

    One paper, one debrief

    No interruptions during. After: one scrollable page that links every miss to what closes the gap.

  • 02

    Flag & return

    The grid tells you what's answered, flagged, and untouched — at a glance.

  • 03

    Real GSSE timing

    Each paper is built from the same MCQ pool you drill from, paced to the actual exam clock.

Plate 02 · MCQ + explanation

Every question, reviewed by a clinician.

The reasoning is there whether you got it right or wrong — and each MCQ is tagged with the topics it tests, so weak areas surface in tomorrow's drill.

  • 01

    Explanations every time

    Why the right answer is right — and why each distractor was tempting.

    Filtered by topic

    By system, AKT/KFP-style, or year. Skip what you've already mastered.

    A missed MCQ becomes a flashcard tomorrow morning. The system joins the dots.

Gastroenterology · UGI bleed

George Yunupingu, a 72-year-old man, presents to your regional GP after vomiting bright red blood twice this morning. Two weeks of worsening epigastric pain, three days of melaena, lightheadedness on standing.

Medications: irbesartan, amlodipine, metformin, gliclazide, ibuprofen 400 mg TDS for 6 weeks without gastroprotection, apixaban 5 mg BD. HR 112, BP 92/60 (78/52 standing). Pale, diaphoretic. PR melaena. Hb 78 g/L.

Nearest hospital is 45 minutes by road. Which is the most appropriate immediate management?

A Call 000, establish IV access, commence IV fluids, cease ibuprofen and withhold apixaban, arrange emergency transfer
B Prescribe oral pantoprazole 40 mg BD and arrange outpatient endoscopy within one week
C Commence oral iron replacement and recheck haemoglobin in one week
D Insert a nasogastric tube for gastric lavage and monitor in clinic
E Arrange non-urgent outpatient gastroscopy within 4 weeks
Correct — option A. Significant upper GI bleed (haematemesis with melaena) on NSAIDs and an anticoagulant, with orthostatic instability and Hb 78. The immediate priority is haemodynamic resuscitation and emergency transfer — call 000, two large-bore IV cannulae, normal saline, cease ibuprofen, withhold apixaban, nil by mouth. Oral PPI in a vomiting unstable patient, iron replacement, NG lavage, or outpatient endoscopy each delay or miss the active bleed.

Examiner · viva 01

A trauma patient presents with hypotension and abdominal findings. List the initial investigations you would order, and explain why.

Critical
Emergent trauma laparotomy for hemoperitoneum — direct control of bleeding, life-saving in unstable patients.
+3
Not to miss
Pelvic angiography for possible arterial bleeding — significant occult haemorrhage source.
+2
Most likely
CT abdomen / pelvis with contrast (if stable) — detects organ lacerations, retroperitoneal injury.
+2
Common
Serial haemoglobin measurements — monitor ongoing loss, guide transfusion.
+1
Common
Arterial blood gas for acidosis and lactate — markers of hypoperfusion, guide resuscitation.

Plate 03 · viva voce

Examiner-style structured-answer questions.

Speak naturally; the viva accepts categorised answers — critical, not-to-miss, most likely, common — and credits each one appropriately. Identical in structure to the GSSE short-answer paper.

  • 01

    Categorised credit

    Critical, must-not-miss, most-likely, and common all carry their own weight.

  • 02

    Voice or typed

    Speak the way you'd present in the exam. Transcript saved for review.

    See exactly which response earned which mark, with model phrasing alongside.

Plate 04 · performance insights

Where you actually stand, by topic.

Topic-by-topic accuracy across every MCQ you've answered, rolling 14-day window. The weakest topic is highlighted at the bottom — that's where tomorrow's set will start.

ACS triage: STEMI vs NSTEMI. A 58-year-old male presents to your ED at 10:15 am with 90 minutes of crushing central chest pain radiating to the left jaw. His 12-lead ECG shows ≥2 mm ST elevation in V1–V4. Troponin I is pending. What is your immediate management priority, and what is the time target you are working to?

tap to reveal
Answer

Immediate PCI (primary percutaneous coronary intervention) — door-to-balloon time target ≤90 minutes. Do not wait for troponin — the ECG alone diagnoses STEMI and commits you to the reperfusion pathway. • Activate the cath lab; load aspirin 300 mg + ticagrelor 180 mg in the ED • If PCI unavailable within 120 min of first contact, give thrombolysis (tenecteplase) and transfer • Inferior STEMI (II, III, aVF): right-sided leads mandatory — RV infarct complicates 40% and contraindicates nitrates / diuretics

Persistent headaches and blurred vision · GP clinic
Hi doctor, I've been having these terrible headaches for about two months, and my vision has been getting blurry.
Tell me more about the headaches — where they sit, and what makes them better or worse?
They're all over my head, a throbbing pressure. Worst in the morning when I wake up, and if I bend down or strain it gets much worse. Panadol barely touches it.
Any nausea, or moments where your vision briefly goes dark — perhaps when you stand up?
Yes — both. I feel sick most mornings, and sometimes my vision greys out for a few seconds when I stand. It's getting more frequent.

A patient who stays in character.

Each station opens with a brief, a chief complaint and a real history. The patient volunteers some cues, withholds others until you ask — the way the long-case viva runs.

    Speak or type

    Voice-to-text on the way in and the way out. Falls back to typed input on devices without a mic.

  • 02

    Consultant-reviewed scripts

    Every case ships with a structured stem, history, exam and investigations — read by a clinician before you ever meet it.

  • 03

    Marked, not just played

    The marksheet runs alongside the conversation — by the time you finish, it's half-graded.
