We’ve just added dark mode to the BPS Assessment eLearning portal.
It is a small change, but if you do a lot of your revision in the evening it should make a noticeable difference. Staring at a bright white screen for hours is not great for your eyes, and dark mode softens the contrast enough to make those longer sessions a bit more comfortable. Less eye strain generally means fewer headaches and better concentration, which is worth something when you are working through a lot of prescribing content.
There are a couple of other upsides too. If you are studying on a laptop or tablet away from a charger, dark mode uses less battery on OLED and AMOLED screens, so you get a bit more time before you need to plug in. It also draws less power overall, which is a small but genuine environmental benefit.
Everything else works exactly as before and you can switch back to light mode any time you like. We’ve put together a short video showing where to find it and how to switch between modes.
Dark mode is available now across desktop and mobile, with nothing to download or update. If you have any questions, get in touch and we will help you out.
Preparing for the PSA on 23rd April?
If you’re settling in for a late night revision session ahead of the PSA exam this month, make sure you check out our free PSA Prep content.
There are nine sessions designed specifically around the areas of the exam that candidates find most difficult, things like dealing with the time pressure, calculations and picking out the key points in clinical scenarios. Rather than covering the PSA broadly, each session goes deep on one question type so you come away knowing exactly how that part of the exam works, how it’s marked and how to approach it with a bit more confidence.
