Before You Start: Day-3 Student Guidance (Click to Read)
What Day-3 is training you to do
Day-3 shifts focus from recognising problems to judging timing and restraint.
Many questions test whether you can decide not to act.
You are no longer being tested on how much you know.
You are being tested on when to act, when to wait, and when not to intervene.
Expect discomfort — this is intentional
Several questions will feel simple, incomplete, or uncomfortable.
ADC often presents situations where doing less is safer than doing more.
How to approach Day-3 scenarios
- Is the patient stable or unstable?
- Is immediate action required right now?
- What harm could my action cause?
- Would waiting be safer?
Common Day-3 traps
- Acting too early
- Over-interpreting long scenarios
- Doing “something” to feel safe
- Giving in to patient, parent, or family pressure
Time management on Day-3
Identify the single decision trigger.
Eliminate unsafe or premature options first.
Avoid re-reading the scenario repeatedly.
How to review Day-3 after submission
When reviewing, focus on:
- Why your chosen option added risk
- Why waiting was safer
- Patterns of impatience or overtreatment
Remember:
The safest decision at the right time beats the most advanced treatment.
