         <title>What is it?SBA questions are similar to Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) in the sense that students are given four or five answer options to choose from. The challenge with answering SBA questions is the fact that more than one of these options may be ‘correct’ factual information. This means that among the few ‘correct’ answers, you will have to be able to weigh these answers according to the question text and choose the best answer. These questions usually test factual knowledge and a degree of knowledge application.  Example (taken from GeekyMedics)Sandy Hughes, 67, presents to A&amp;E with chest pain. She describes 12 hours of a sharp chest discomfort on inspiration, which started suddenly just after she arrived back from her flight to Florida. Her oxygen saturation is 94% on 2 litres of oxygen and her respiratory rate is 28. What is the most likely ECG finding for this patient?A) Right axis deviationB) SI QIII TIII patternC) Sinus tachycardiaD) ST elevation in three contiguous leadsE) Widespread saddle-shaped ST elevation​​How to PrepareWhen answering SBA questions, a good method of practice would be to perform what is called a basic “cover test” – i.e. you should be able to cover the answer options and still be able to produce an answer just by reading the question. However, in your exam, just as with normal MCQs, you should still be able to eliminate a few options that are wrong to narrow the answers down to two or three options. Every single bit of information provided in the question stem matters – even seemingly trivial pieces of information like the age and ethnicity of the patient. For example, the first line drug treatment for hypertension would be an ACE inhibitor in a patient below 55 years old; but if the patient were of Afro-Caribbean descent, the Single Best Answer would be to administer a Calcium Channel Blocker instead.  The foolproof way to score highly in your SBA exam is to know your content very well. Many question bank websites exist to help you identify the gaps in your knowledge and doing many practice SBA questions can help you gain familiarity with the style of question you will receive in your exam. As expected, the question banks that will work best for you depends largely on the medical school you go to. We’ve listed a handful of popular question bank websites below, but ask your seniors in the years above you to see if there are particular question banks or books that will work particularly well for your curriculum!
