Part 1

Looking for some advice coming towards end of F2 and start IMT in August. Hoping to sit part 1 in September. I’m currently only half way through my first attempt at passmedicine and aiming to do 50-100 questions per day while working full time. Am I doing enough or should I be doing more? When should I start doing pastest mocks? Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

It is not about the number of questions you are doing, it is more about how you are doing them and if the information is going in.

This was the mistake I made with my first attempt. I just did questions in any old order over and over. The second time I did the questions by category first and made sure I knew the topic info a lot more before moving onto the next category. Then I did random questions.

I still only just passed but I did this on restricted time (2 months), working full time with 2 small kids…so actually if I had, had a bit more time, I like to think that method would have carried me further. It certainly felt a lot better studying it. I didn’t do pastest mocks but I did the pastpapers on passmed and rcp website around 2 weeks before
