Another reason for textbooks is that all the information is tidied up for you, rather than scattered all over the internet like your kid’s lego pieces. Personally when I studied for MRCP I found the majority of guidelines so dry and unreadable that I would either fall asleep after dinner or give myself iatrogenic SVT with caffeine. The BTS guidelines and NICE guidelines are therefore probably your best friends (or enemies) here. Your first port of call should always be a tried-and-tested question bank like Passmedicine – tackle questions by specialty and spend a good few hours really focusing on respiratory diseases, reading the relevant explanations and guidelines on the way. Try not to get overwhelmed or bogged down too much because as they say the one thousand mile journey always begins with the first step. Now that we have that out of way, we should consider what resources to use. That roughly equates to 9.3% of your time so again if you have 100 hours then you can afford to spend 9 hours and 18 minutes on respiratory. In Part 2, our favourite topic plays an even bigger part in our overall success, consisting of 25 marks out of 270. That means if you have 100 hours before the exam, you can afford 7.5 of those on respiratory. It turns out 15 marks (out of 200) are specifically dedicated to resp in Part 1 so you should ideally spend 7.5% of your time preparing.
Starting off with my favourite respiratory, hopefully you’ll find this guide somewhat useful on your quest to becoming a medical reg.īefore we dive in, let’s look at what role respiratory plays in both the written exams. As promised, I’ve finally gotten around to writing specialty specific information for the written parts of MRCP.
