Summary

This book established itself in its first edition as the definitive 'one-stop-shop' revision aid; the only one available to encompass all elements of the MRCOG Part 2 examination in a single volume. Now incorporating practice EMQs as well as the standard question types, this second editionwill ensure that it retains its place on the 'must-have' list for every candidate preparing for this exam. Concentrating on testing the candidate's theoretical and practical knowledge as recommended in the current MRCOG syllabus, the book tests the trainee with questions in obstetrics and gynecology and those aspects of medicine, surgery, and pediatrics relevant to the practice of both. The book is divided into four key parts, one for each style of question, each of which opens with an introductory section on how to approach the exam and, crucially, how to fail it. Part One provides a series of short answer practice papers. Common mistakes are highlighted as well as a list ofkey points required to get full marks. A sample answer is given for each question. Part Two contains a mock paper for the MCQ part of the exam, containing 225 questions with answers and helpful annotations. Part Three introduces the EMQ, giving the reader 40 questions in the style of theexamination, together with answers and explanatory notes. Part Four is devoted to the OSCE, with descriptions of 20 sample statiosn assessing different aspects of clinical practice, advice on how to tackle these, and suggested marking schemes. Throughout, questions have been designed to test factual knowledge and understanding, problem-solving ability, and clinical and communication skills.
