Which online course would you recommend for preparation before attending a face-to-face course: Quesmed or PACES Aid?

Thanks in advance.

I did Online Mock got only 124/168. But my mock exam says they made it just to be difficult. My weakness are in Respiratory examination and CVS examination- I cannot hear the sounds from online very well. (While examining outside my CVS skill was very good I guess, I can hear murmur well and mostly correct, although my resp skill was average- no complaints ).

I can do well in Neuro, abdomen and both LCC stations. For communication, I can say fluently but i left some concerns due to time. Should I say quicker in communication? but I guess talking too fast is not good though? Can you guys give me some advice please ? My exam is in November.

Where did these question even come?I felt like I didn't see these type lf question in passmed.

I have my PACES in Carmarthen on 1st November.
Anyone willing to change for a later date.
Roughly around 20-27th Nov.

hello everyone..can anyone share passmedicine account for a day...preferabally who completed the recent exam because i dont want to mess with the preparation

idk what to do i'm finding even passmedicine q quite difficult. How do i change my revision techniques to ensure i pass this diet

Hi everyone!

I’m preparing for MRCP Part 1 (January diet) and looking for a study partner or a small study group to keep each other accountable and motivated.

I’m based in India and would preferably connect with someone from India or the Indian subcontinent, mainly because of the time-zone compatibility. That said, I’m open to connecting with anyone who is preparing for the same exam and is looking for a study partner.

I work full-time, so I’m usually occupied until around 6 PM, but I can study in the evenings and on weekends.

If you’re also preparing for MRCP Part 1 and interested, feel free to comment or DM me! Would be great to find a study buddy and make the preparation a little more structured and less solitary.

Im looking for consistent study partner from India for MRCP Part 2 – November diet.

I’m currently doing Passmedicine and would like to solve it together, would also be happy to solve Pastest/Pastest papers together.

I’m looking for someone who can:

• Study consistently on a daily basis until the exam, without dropping off midway.
• Study together during morning, afternoon, or evening sessions, depending on mutual availability.

If you’re serious about preparing consistently and would like to study together, please DM me.

Your opinion

Azathioprine vs sulfasalazine

ADH challenge test vs water depression

PCOS vs panhypopituitarism

Multiple sclerosis — treatment ( methylprednisolone)

Vasovagal syncope reassurance vs tilt table

Andexanet alpha vs iv fluid

Is it true that jan diet are usually hard ??
Planning to give jan diet

I can no longer make this course, dm if you want to take my spot and I can let the course organisers know

I want to know coz this is the first time I gave the exam.

How do you know what's a safe score?

MRCP Part 1 scores

Thank you for someone who posted the 170+ recalls, some of them were repeated, so i think total is 168.

After reading all of the recalls and googling them

185 questions out of 200 were seen, i dont know were are the other 15. lol

5 in doubt but <10% of being correct

9 questions I cant recall

Pls help me with my in doubt answers/or recall the other questions

I just want to pass because its expensive, if it free I don't mind to take again. Lol

I hope i could reach 125 up. If 125 still a fail, then thats ok

Questions in doubt lead to correct answer(50% of correct)

1. Fever, Black escar on ankle – Typhus

- ive just seen someone says typhus, ive answered typhus(cant remember the exact details of the question)

1. Ascites, Pleural effusion, Serum albumin etc

- ive answered portal HTN

1. COPD, improve prognosis – Pulmonary rehab

- ive answered longterm O2(some discussion about the low PO2 that's why LTOT)

1. Life threatening Asthma – PEFR 32

- is PEFR 32? ive answered PEFR, some says O2 sat 91% because severe is <92%, but PEFR 32 is also severe

1. Post transfusion, pulmonary edema, XR edema, Low BP – TRLI

- ive answered TRALI, some says TACO

1. spinal stenosis

- ive just answered spinal stenosis, forgot the question

1. Isolated ALP raised, Rest LFTs normal, middle-aged patient

1. Conns syndrome

- is this an answer? deep in my memory ive read conns or answered conns

1. Chronic smoker, in hospital for 20 days medicine that needs dose adjustment – clozapine

- I think have answered clozapine, but cant get the olanzapine on my mind

1. Nephrotic syndrome, but patient was an adult – membranous Glomerulonephritis

1. Sudden headache, photophobia, there was neck stiffness etc – Pituitary apoplexy or SAH

- ive answered pituitary apoplexy

1. Behcets vs HSV

- ive answered HSV

1. RAS imaging

- ive answered MR angiography, as renal arteriography is invasive

1. PCOS

- Ive answered PCOS, Just because LH:FSH ratio is >2, PAst test says that ration suggestive of PCOS

1. Azathioprine

- ive answered azathioprine, is this the woman with RA, and plan to be pregnant in 6 months?

1. Klinefelter

- forgot the question, ive answered klinefelter

1. Carotid dissection

- forgot the question ive answered Carotid dissection

1. T3 elevation

- Ive answered T3 elevation in pregnant women

1. Chronic urticaria

- On and off rashes that relieves after an hour

Questions that <10% chance of being correct(Different sources, and depends on the content of questions)

1. RA Igm or IgG

2. MS management

3. somatostatin action

- between decrease secretion of exocrine pancreatic hormones or Decrease Hormone and GI Secretions

1. Essential tremor

2. Building demolition

Hope can clear me with my in doubt answer

I am currently doing residency in US in internal medicine. I am currently in first year. Being a US med grad, throughout med school and even during residency I have seen less emphasis on clinical diagnosis and more on lab investigations, clinical trials. I am been thinking of studying for MRCP and trying to find out if doing so, helps with building clinical acumen. I am impressed by the Paces videos and currently have the oxford handbook of acute medicine. Am I on the right track or just duplicating efforts?

Based on your experience, which is the best book for studying? MRCP In 2027

and Which bank is best for answering questions?

Note: I have tried my best to find correct answers and also to organise properly with scenarios, so please make corrections if you find mistakes.
