Website and more

Thanks Amel for improving the website. More contents will be added in the next few weeks.

Good luck to those sitting the MRCS exams, it's a very passable exam.

Few tips to get through the exam:

1. If you don't know the answer to a question; ask the examiner to move on, and come back to that question depending on time. This is because, the marks are allocated per questions, and you do not need to get the questions correct in the order of being asked to progress through the station,

2. Some examiners take your first answer, where as others will permit a few attempts to allow you to get to the correct answer before moving on.

3. Basic finals standard examination, and history taking skills is enough to easily pass the exam.

4. Make sure you are familiar with dry skeletons, and all the points where any significant muscles or bone attaches.

5. Prepare from previous stations as they are likely to repeat stations. At least half of my stations were examined in the previous 2 years.

Good luck, hope you find this useful.

Keep tuned for more updates.
