This is an essential revision aid for all trainee obstetricians. Comprising 360 MCQ's with cross-references to Key Topics in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Second Edition, for the detailed background to the questions and their answers, this text will ensure a successful examination.
Despite the recent changes in the Part 2 MRCOG, multiple choice questions (MCQ)
remain as an integral component of the written examination and there are no plans to
remove them at present.
The examination is divided into an initial written paper (MCQ and short essays) and
for those successful, an OSCE. Fixed pass marks apply for both parts of the
examination. A mark of 1751300 must be achieved in the written paper, made up of
100/200 in the essay papers and 75/100 in the MCQ (as there is no negative marking
this is equivalent to 50%). It is not necessary to achieve 50% in both the essays and the
MCQ, merely an overall mark. Candidates proceeding to the oral component of the
examination must then achievae p ass mark of 60% to pass the whole of the examination.
