Today I am going to talk something different. No hard facts to learn today, just relax and listen to my 5-cent advice that can help you to pass your MRCP Part 1 and 2.
First of all, I think Part 1 is more difficult to pass because candidates seldom do in basic sciences questions. I will advise you to read more about basic sciences when you sit for your part 1. Anyway, there are a few strategies to pass both your Part 1 and 2.
1) Correct way to studyI must say that the fatest way to remember your facts is trying to answer past years questions. When you try to do these questions, read around the topic and learn more facts about a topic. You will be suprised how fast you can master a topic.
2) Correct books to buy
Buy the correct books to study. It is difficult to tell which book to buy but remember that a good book gives your relevant and important facts to remember not high-end useless not exam-orientated facts!
3) Be systematic and disciplined
You will never pass if you are not disciplined enough, always divide your time, let say you have another 10 months before your exam, divide your time like 1 month to study endocrinology, another month to study respiratory etc. Finish all the topics before your examination!
4) Always discuss with your friends
If you do not understand a topic, always discuss with your friends who are sitting the exam together. You will be suprised how easy he/she might answer your questions. There is an old Chinese saying, when there are 3 persons together, you ceratinly can learn new things from one of them!
5) Answer all your questions
During your exam, answer all your questions, no negative marking, you have 20% chance of get it right even though you know nothing. If you randomly answer 5 questions, you will get one right!!
Hope this piece of informations helps!
