Online MRCS Real Experience (Study Duration - Materials - Tips - Advice)

MRCS Exam Experience
​

Preparation Time :-
- I studied 3 months, and this is enough ..
- I think ideal duration : 3-4 months .. You will be more confident ..

Materials :-
~ Applied Basic Sience (ABS) Paper :-
-----> [1] Anatomy : eMRCS is very enough + supported by Google pictures, also I use some YouTube videos to clear some concepts
-----> [2] Physiology : I just read eMRCS with some topics from Raftery book
-----> [3] Pathology : Pathoma videos + eMRCS, but I think eMRCS only is very enough (study pathology after surgical specialties)
-----> [4] Medicolegal aspects & Statistics : Dr.Bishoy's tips + Dr.Zaki's notes + Recalls (this more than enough)
~ Princples of Surgery in General (PoSG) paper :-
-----> I start with Dr.Ramy Yousif Videos {discussing eMRCS 2020} & then go to eMRCS 2020 Ed
-----> eMRCS : Repeat it 3 times AT LEAST because it is the core of the exam ((Honestly I repeat some specialties more than others according to their number of questions in exam such as trauma, orthopedic, breast & endocrine, pre & post operative)) .. Also I revised eMRCS from Dr.Bishoy Voice Notes which is very helpful & amazzing
-----> PasTest : Study some chapters : Trauma & Burn, Orthopedic, Vascular, Pre & Post Operative, Breast & Endocrine & this if you have time ..
-----> Fawzia Sheet : you should know it by heart, Dr.Ramy Yousif has verrrrry helpful 3 videos about Fawzia Sheet
-----> Recalls : If you not master the recalls, you will not pass as simple as that .. You should know the answer to every Q .. Discuss recalls together

So resources simply :-
A) eMRCS : repeat it as much as you can
PasTest : only once & only for some chapters if you have time
C) Fawzia Sheet : repeat it 3 times at least
D) Recalls : MASTER it, they are the key of pass

Tips & Advices :-
----> Follow Dr.Bishoy schedule & you will pass In Shaa Allah
----> Do not enter the exam without doing Mock exams of Dr.Bishoy : they will make you familiar with the real exam, they will learn you to manage your time in the real exam, & they will come in the real exam .. So these mocks are very very important ..
----> Time is an important issue during exam : train yourself with mock exam & take care of time during real exam ..
----> Voice Notes of Dr.Bishoy : specially if you are on way to your work & so ..
----> Do not confuse yourself by many materials, many groups .. This group is very enough to pass ..
----> Last 4 or 3 weeks : just do Recalls, Fawzia Sheet, & your notes are the best one .. but you can do Omima notes (Excellent notes)
----> No need for courses, just follow Dr.Bishoy
----> Set your target : a high score, if you do not got a high score .. at least you will pass
----> Online exam : do not worry about that .. For me it is better than written exam & more comfortable ..
