graduate. Number of try a student can give is unlimited.
The approval of a candidates application to attempt the Part 1 exam does
not entail recognition of a subsequent or correlated application by that
candidate to attempt the Part 2 exam.
The Part 1 exam is seized in the British Isles and at selected overseas
centers in March and September. The exam is in applied sciences consisting
of two papers enduring 2 1/2 hours and each encompassing of single best
answer questions (SBAs) wrapping 300 questions. The exam swathe those
subjects which form part of the general education of any specialist and
particularly those subjects which are applicable to obstetrics and gynecology.
Candidates who fancy taking Part 1 exam can take it any time and must pass
it before attempting the Part 2 exam.

daily with complete attention, for next of three months study Obstetrics &
Gynecology by De Swiet and Timchard. These books will swathe through all
the topics for e.g. in Pharmacology and Cardiac drugs which may not be
relevant though anesthetics may be important.

MRCOG SBAs:
MRCOG part 1 exam comprises of MCQs where each statement is followed
by five options. Each time read the statement with every option carefully and
then opt for the answer, do not rush take your time read each statement
carefully.

Multiple choice questions are an exact evaluator of a candidates knowledge

of a topic. They test not only essentials but also understanding and
reasoning knack. It is vital to know your subject methodically. Reading small
comprehensive texts are better than meticulous textbooks on a particular
subject. Read as many MCQs as possible to understand the tinge of the
English language.
The declaration may contain absolute negatives such as never, or absolute
positives such as always, which are rarely true in medicine. Such questions
should be read carefully as they are usually false.
Pairing of words which are often found to be very confusing are not common
which means common or not unlikely which eventually means likely to
happen. These statements can be pretty confusing and therefore require
more attention to the phrasing of the statements. Good news for the MRCOG
students is that there is no negative marking in the paper. Hence you will be
able to answer any question regarding that you know it well or not.
The college publish past years papers which contain question stockpile
without answers, therefore it must be discussed with other candidates which
help to build confidence in a particular topic that how well you know it plus it
will identify your weak areas where you need more preparation and also you
will get to know-how of the exams and it will be a source of great help.

The standard of the examination is high. Most candidates do not pass the
exam in the first attempt. However, there is no shame in failure. If a
candidate is unsuccessful, they will receive an analysis of their paper and
marks obtained in each section from the Royal College. This helps them to
identify problem areas and take remedial measures.
One must make it a target to be achieved within a time frame of six months.
It is not a difficult examination, but involves a lot of preparation; precise

knowledge of facts and figures is required. At the same time, a broad base of
reading is necessary to deal with questions that can be multidisciplinary.
The MRCOG is emerging to be more admired than ever, as there are several
reasons behind that but the
The MRCOG examination appears to be more popular than ever. There are
several reasons for this, but the sine qua non appears to be that it is still
highly regarded universal as a relevant test of clinical competence and a
standard even in countries having their own examination board and systems.
The numbers sitting both parts I and part II of the examinations have
increased by around 50% in the last ten years. Asian students and especially
Indians do rather well in the MRCOG Part I examination. Willingness to
concentrate, hard work and perseverance are major factors in achieving
success in this examination.
