Hi, I wanted to know if there's a specific criteria for sitting for MRCS part B? Or you just need you MBBS degree? Thank you for the help in advance

[@curiousrisk]

@@BeShiwani should have an mbbs degree and must pass MRCS part A

[@muhammadhafizjamaruddin2967]

Congratz Dr Wong.Thank you for the video. Very helpful. May I confirm with you Dr Exam MRCS OSCE Book 1 wrongly written the information on page 57 first sentence. It should be the other way round. Thanks!

[@hakam_khalifa]

Thank you so much 🌷

[@shafaatgoraya9089]

JAZAKALLAH and great to have your advice as you guide brilliantly and what is the most asked portion in anatomy.i have heard that limbs questions are more.what do you say about anatomy bulk questions

[@KittyWongHF]

I don’t think one gets asked more than the other but limbs have a lot of “high yield” exam areas like the brachial plexus and compartments so might come up more often, but equally there’s lots in abdo pelvis so I wouldn’t say one trumps the other

[@shafaatgoraya9089]

Would you please send a link of emrcs subscription online??

[@toeytaratoey]

Hi, do you have any idea on how good pastest website for revision is?

[@mohammadalytarik1301]

How to apply for MRCS part B exam in UK from overseas... How to apply and get visa, process and all. Anyone have knowledge plz let me know...

[@shafaatgoraya9089]

Regarding MRCS A paper 2 of applied surgery do we need to study some text Or eMrcs is enough???

[@KittyWongHF]

See the MRCS part A videos - I found MCQ banks sufficient as long as you read up on the topic after doing a question whether’s it’s a google search or teachmesurgery website or whatever you fancy

[@shafaatgoraya9089]

Would you please let me know that raftery book of basic sciences for part A has to be memorised or study with question bank??

[@KittyWongHF]

I did not memorise the book from cover to cover at all. I found teachmeanatomy and an anatomy atlas a better way to learn anatomy than the Raftery book so I basically skipped this section of the book. I read through the physiology and science sections about a month before the exam to solidify what I already learnt from the Qbanks and that was enough to pass.

[@shafaatgoraya9089]

@@KittyWongHF what about the neuroanatomy and head and neck???

[@anupshrestha4497]

3 to 4 months … what is the daily time amount you allocated to study ?? 3 to 4 hours?

[@KittyWongHF]

In the first couple months only 1-1.5 hours per day, sometimes you can’t if you’re on call / nights etc. in the final month or two months I will build up to a few hours in the evening and longer on off days / weekends.

[@ayesyahabdullah8649]

Thank you so much. This video is great but how do you balance work and studying ? Im already dying trying to balance everything out. Did you have a study group to practice with?

[@KittyWongHF]

A difficult question. I think as with any exam period you will have to accept that you end up having less free time, but this does not mean you have no time to do any of your hobbies / self care - it might just be reduced. I find it helpful to set a schedule ahead of time, e.g. study for 2 hours then stop; or make time for half an hour at the gym, etc. Studying is a marathon - so if you feel burnt out, take a day or two or three off! In the grand scheme it won’t impact your 4 months of studying too much. I would also advice trying to take the exam in a less busy rotation if possible - I chose to take my exam in F2 specifically due to how chill the GP job was with no out of hours / weekends / nights. I didn’t have a study group for part B, I think this would have been useful for practicing on each other etc but unfortunately all my mates sitting the exam were working elsewhere in the country. In the end I subjected my (also medical) partner to my practice 🤣 But I imagine it would have been very helpful - when I went on the MRCS course with others I found that quite a nice experience.
