"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." - Isaac Newton
Hi, this site was initially set up for my fellow colleagues in Singapore studying and preparing for the MRCS (mainly for part B OSCE), to benefit others just as I have received so much from my seniors. Unexpectedly, this is now the world's most popular MRCS preparation resource.
There seems to be a dearth of resources to tackle this exam and everyone who wants to pass on information seems to just want to make lots of money from it (expensive private tutorial groups and ridiculously overpriced prep courses that are the norm in the UK). Preparation for the MRCS examination may seem daunting if you have no clue on how to start and what books to use. Here you will find my very frank, opinionated and sometimes brutal book review as well as many past year questions that I collected for my own preparation. The structure of the exam changes from year to year, so do check out the college reports for the latest information.
As you know, I have been asked to stop collating and distributing any accounts in mid-2019 which I have fully complied with to protect all those who have contributed. The rest of the site including the book reviews and tips remain intact on this site. A kind soul has collated, redacted and posted similar accounts for free. I hope all can contribute to them as before. See the link below.
