Coping with the fear of, or, actual exam failure is always the footnote of any exam preperation books, never giving it the recognition it derserves. Harding has tackled this taboo, by producing a straightforward, highly readable plan on how not to be subsumed by these feelings when preparing for OSCE examination...I can't recommend this book enough to trainees, tutors, training directors, and revision course organisers.
