Summary

This book aims to provide candidates with a different approach to preparing for the MRCOG Part 2 examination especially the short essays. It is based on the experienced gained from running one of the most successful revision courses at Leicester and also from examining. The aim is not to provide a prescriptive format for answering questions but to guide candidates in the right direction and more importantly, to show them how to avoid the path to failure. The book is divided into three sections - the first focuses on short essays, the second on multiple choice questions and the third on the structured oral examination.
