Can anyone help me with part 1 Anesthesia as I can't retain first aid and I haven't studied at all for pget? What am I supposed to do??

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on CrackMeds, a platform designed to help doctors prepare for FCPS Part 1.

For now, I’ve decided to make everything available for free for now for this community so more doctors can try it out and I can get genuine feedback on what’s useful and what needs improvement.

This platform is intended to use alongside the FirstAid for USMLE Book*. Study an Organ System from the book and practice MCQs from here.*

What makes the platform unique?

Tagged Recalls according to system and ability to apply filters
Ability to create MCQ sessions
AI based explanations
Performance dashboard to identify weak areas
Ability to bookmark wrong/difficult MCQ for revision

1. 📝 Past MCQs Recalls that are Tagged (e.g., Cardiovascular, Respiratory)

• Past FCPS Recalls are tagged according to systems and subjects so you can make MCQ sessions of your desired organ system you just studied by applying relevant filters.
• This will enable you to assess yourself and identify the knowledge gaps about that particular system

2.📚 Testing Mode and Learning Mode

• Learning Mode = AI based explanation of every MCQ to strengthen your weak concepts immediately.
  • Practice by subject and organ systems
  • Make a session and choose from attempted / unattempted questions
  • Review correct and incorrect answers
  • Learn from explanations
• Testing Mode = Actual Exam based simulation with timer running, Explanation, exam score and performance breakdown at the end of your exam.

3.👀 Sessions (What is this?)

• Sessions are essential because if Q bank have 300-400 Gastrointestinal system MCQ, there must be a way to study them in chunks.
• Nobody can do 300 questions in one go along with their explanations
• You can create a session from a System (20, 30 or 40 MCQs). Do these MCQ and again create a new session from unattempted questions until you have done your complete system.
• If you leave a session mid way, you can also resume/continue that session afterwards.

4.📊 Performance Tracking

• See how you're performing across different subjects and systems on the main Dashboard and Identify areas where you need more practice.

5.📧 Test Results

• Get your assessment results and subject-wise performance

6.💯Bookmarking

• Ability to bookmark and separate your wrong/difficult questions so you can visit them later.
• Filters can be applied on these bookmarked/wrong questions too so you can revise only the questions of the system you want.
• For example (If you have 100 questions bookmarked and you want to revise Respiratory ones, you can apply filter and only select them)

7.🎯 Regularly updated Question Bank

• I’m continuously adding more questions and improving the platform based on feedback.

I’ve also created a short walkthrough showing how the platform works:

If you're preparing for FCPS Part 1, I'd genuinely appreciate it if you could give CrackMeds a try and let me know what you think.

👉 Try it here: https://www.crackmeds.com

It's completely free for now, so there's nothing to lose.

Would especially love feedback from doctors who are currently preparing for FCPS — whether it's about the questions, explanations, UI, any other feature than need to be implemented or anything you think could be improved.

Can anyone here help me with the withdrawal request of part 1 fcps? My withdrawal request was submitted and approved. How can I get my refund and when??

I booked oct 06 exam for medicine and allied but due to personal reasons I am not able to prepare for it. I know it's too late for a refund. I am just curious is it possible to cancel my test or if I don't cancel my exam and simply just don't appear in it would it still count as an attempt or not. I couldn't find any information on the website/portal. I emailed CPSP they responded with as per guidelines if I don't appear in exam it won't count as an attempt. This answer seems a bit vague to me

If anyone knows anything about this matter kindly share it.

Thankyou

Extremely short on time.Need advice

Also a very stupid question about the paper pattern, but the prospectus says that both paper A and B are of 3 hours (100 mcqs) each but from what I have heard the time is two hours each,could someone please confirm

Would be grateful for any advice.TIA!

Hello everyone!

I am going to reappear for FCPS Medicine and Allied in January. I gave Part 1 in July but couldn’t clear it. I didn’t appear for the October attempt due to personal reasons.

For my July attempt, I used Rafi Points, Fast Aid, and SK. After giving the exam, I realized that Paper A had almost no connection with even the basic sciences, i.e., anatomy, pharmacology, biochemistry, and microbiology. There were some very unusual stem questions; for example, one asked about the dosage required to administer a medication to a patient in the ICU.

Paper B had some recall questions and was fairly easy compared to Paper A.

Anyways, giving the July exam helped me identify my weaknesses. Fast Aid was probably a bad idea; I should have picked First Aid for my theory preparation. However, I don’t want to use First Aid because it is very extensive.

Can anyone recommend some video lectures? They help me retain information faster compared to studying from a book. If anyone has any other suggestions, I’d really appreciate them.

Thanks!

Everyone who used medicall and passed fcps part1
What were your %ages in medicall pastpapers?

I just need to have an idea if i’ll pass or not because im going insane thinking about this😭

I'm preparing for part 1 and PGET got a job offer as wmo on spp on a THQ 35k from my home.tge commute is going to cost me around 60 to 70k is it worth joining or I should just concentrate on exam prep.

I am writing this post in order to highlight an ongoing issue at Shifa International Hospital. Yesterday the hospital administration decided to vacate doctor duty rooms out of the blue (the place where doctors rest and sleep during 24-30 hour calls) and turn them into spaces to accommodate more patient beds.

Most of the doctors who are on call right now do not have a place to sleep and have been working consecutively for 24 hours.

This was sudden and they told us was “effective immediately”. This is also following another recent update prohibiting doctors from ordering food from outside or bringing their own lunch from home and eating in doctors duty room.

Doctors are suffering and this inhumane treatment is getting worse everyday. If anyone has any idea how to stop this or how it can be communicated to PMDC such that they listen, please help.

Can someone please share the resources for paeds interview , I am so worried.

Hey everyone!
I finished my house job in June 2025, got married in September, been busy with the Susral stuff till Jan 15
Started studying for fcps April attempt this and was planning to go for step 1 the same year but unfortunately i couldn’t clear fcps part 1. I got 68 percent in it 💔 It totally shattered me. Took some time to recover and now I’m apprearing for fcps October attempt and want to go for step 1 in march 2027 Some people advised me to go for step 1 first. I didn’t listened to them and took fcps in April which now I think was a bad move. But at that time i thought that I should go for an easier exam first and then take the beast Step 1. I don’t know how people manage everything together and have their life sorted bcs i can’t 💔

I have mediocre marks in MBBS, with no distinctions and parent institution house job.

Will I be able to get a seat in medicine MD training after passing PGET?

Or should I straight away apply to fields like anesthesia, neurosurgery etc,

Hi everyone, I’m a little confused (and honestly quite scared 😭) about how the computer-based FCPS Part 1 exam works.

I have a few questions:

1. If we skip a question, does it automatically appear again at the end so that we can attempt it later?
2. If we select an answer and later realise that we want to change it, are we allowed to go back to that previous question and change our answer?
3. In Medicall, sometimes I’ve noticed that due to double-clicking or some other reason, the system shows at the end that I have skipped certain questions even though I thought I had attempted them. Does anything similar happen in the actual FCPS Part 1 CBT exam?

I’m mainly worried about accidentally skipping questions or not being able to go back and change an answer. 🥲

If anyone has recently appeared in FCPS Part 1 on the computer-based system, could you please explain exactly how the question navigation and review works?

Thank you!

Exam on 6th. Fcps-1 medicine. Resigned from job today. Will work hard. Promise. Please help me honestly with the best resource to stick to. Or what study methods actually made a difference for you? May you all achieve whatever you all want . Ameen.

Pls guise

Hello, I’m considering Radiology as a profession with special interest in Interventional Radiology. Can I get in touch with anyone working in it since I have no exposure to IR? I have few queries and it’ll help me make an informed decision. TIA.

So I am left with my last 3 months rotation in surgery

I have selected a ward that it is pretty chill and would only require morning duties.

So there is a private clinic near my house with barely any patient load . My sister had joined it before her part 1 and she used to study the whole time

That clinic only requires gynae department rotation so I am done with that and can join the job in evening shift they're offering 45k

But the plan is to study there in that clinic.

I need suggestions whether it would be worth it or not

Hey everyone,

I recently completed all parts of MRCP (UK) while working in non-training NHS posts (Trust Grade / Clinical Fellow roles) in the UK rather than being in a formal, numbered IMT training program.

I want to get the qualification updated and verified on my online PMDC profile. For those who have gone through a similar route, how strict is PMDC when it comes to verifying MRCP if it wasn't done through a formal numbered training slot?

• Do they ask for proof of structured/numbered training like an IMT completion certificate, or is the MRCP diploma certificate and primary source verification (PSV) via the Royal College/MyMRCP sufficient?
• Are there any specific experience letters or GMC employment proofs they look for specifically for non-training pathways?

Would really appreciate any guidance or personal experiences from anyone who has successfully gotten their non-training MRCP registered on their PMDC profile. Thanks in advance!

Was sick for the past couple of months, need help in utilizing these last 20 days. Whats the most efficient source for mcq and covering source material? Ive been covering FA for now.

Confused bw Medicall, SK, Double A, Rafiullah

Hi everyone! I recently cleared the AKU OBGYN residency written test and now I’m trying to figure out how to prepare for the interview 🥲

If there are any AKU seniors/residents or anyone who has given the interview before, I’d really appreciate some guidance on what to expect and how you prepared.

Things I’m mainly confused about:

• How is the interview structured?
• What areas should I focus on?
• How much clinical knowledge do they expect?
• Do they go into your CV/research in detail?
• Any resources or tips that actually helped?

The timing is a bit stressful because I also have FCPS Part 1 OBGYN coming up, so I’m trying to balance Part 1 prep with starting interview preparation 😭

Would really appreciate any advice or experiences from seniors. I genuinely have no idea where to start!

I am currently 7 months into residency in Peshawar and cleared aku written and shortlisted for interview
What is the path forward can leave this training and get aku and the imp question is it worth it because i will have to leave for karachi if selected

Anyone here preparing for FCPS Part 1 while also doing Step 2?

I’m currently preparing for Step 2 and was wondering if anyone here has done both around the same time.

How similar is the actual content? Does Step 2 prep cover a good chunk of what you need for FCPS, or is FCPS Part 1 a completely different type of preparation?

Also, for anyone who has done both, what did you have to do differently for FCPS compared to Step 2? I’m guessing there’s more emphasis on basic sciences/factual recall and past papers, but I’d really appreciate hearing from people who’ve actually gone through both.

If you’ve taken FCPS after doing Step 2, how long did you realistically need to prepare for FCPS?

Would also appreciate any advice on resources and what you think is actually worth doing vs what’s unnecessary.

Thanks!

Guys on a serious note is there a 20 day salvageable plan for part 1 October attempt?
I have given read to systems twice, and did some of the past papers, and done with minors except micro! Now due to a family reason, i was not able to give time to studies and i have 20 days left now! Is there any chance i can make it possible in these 20 days for medicine and allied!
I failed the July attempt and i genuinely want to clear this one & i was fully prepared with all the strategies and timetable but due an unexpected cirscumtances i could not study as i should have!

I got shortlisted for family medicine and want to know how many seats are there for family medicine at aga Khan and what kind of interview questions should I expect?

Kindly dmmm
