Success in OSCE requires not just a sound theoretical knowledge, but an ability to obtain a pertinent yet concise history, adroitness whilst undertaking clinical examination and performing practical skills, and the ability to communicate with the patient in an empathetic but informative manner. Although this may appear fairly logically, over the years, it has been noted that some diligent and ingenious students who possess the essential knowledge and skills, however, on occasions, fail the OSCE. This occurs not due to lack of wisdom but perhaps because of tenuous strategy.
