Booking a mock discussion
Mock discussions are booked the same way as exams, with two differences: they are offered per discussion type, and they can carry prerequisites.
Discussion types
Each active discussion type has its own dashboard card and its own list:
- Situational Judgment Discussion
- Clinical Skills Discussion
You may also encounter an older, general Mock Discussion type on historic bookings. It is being phased out and is no longer offered for new bookings — existing bookings against it remain valid.
Prerequisites — the usual reason a session is missing
A discussion session can require that you have already booked or attended a specific earlier exam. If a prerequisite is not met, that session does not appear in your list.
So if a discussion you were expecting is not there, work through this in order:
- Is there a prerequisite exam you have not booked or attended yet? Most likely cause.
- Is the session full?
- Is the session not yet open for booking?
- Is it offered at a location available to you?
If none of those explain it, contact an administrator — they can see the session's prerequisites directly.
Credits
Discussion sessions spend a mock_discussion_token, falling back to
shared_mock_credits if you have none. See Credits & tokens.
Cancelling
Same as exams: cancel an Active booking and the token is returned. There is no separate
reschedule action — cancel, then rebook.
