This webinar will give an overview of the structure and content of this exam, with guidance for candidates about what to expect in both sections of the exam. It will also explain recent modifications to the format of the section 2 exam, required in light of the pandemic. It will also give the most recent information about the likely timescale of these exams being delivered.
