Fellowship examinations are a potentially stressful part of clinical training. While they may feel at the time to be a test of academic fortitude and endurance, they also establish the foundation knowledge essential for a career in paediatrics. We reflect on the important role of the study group in this process, and the far‐reaching benefits of peer support and sticking together, for the exam and beyond.
