After taking a good history and performing a thorough neurological examination, we should ask ourselves 3 questions:

1- Where is the lesion?

2- What is the lesion?

3- Why?

An efficient neurologist will answer these questions accurately in 85% of cases. In the MRCP UK and Ireland part I examinations, such questions are very common, and also very easy to make mistakes without a proper prior study. Here, I tired to put the common examination "themes" regarding this topic together in a simple best of fives question format.

The best of many type of questions when 2 or 3 options are chosen out of 10 is usually a source of fear, suspiciousness, and unconfidence in the MRCP UK and Ireland part II written. Although the number of such questions is not that big, but each question may "carry" a double or triple number of marks. Many candidates got confused by these questions as time is running out and short and the options' "list" deserves a "good look". When you practice on this type of questions, you will see that it is very easy to score a full mark. I've made this mock a little bit difficult so as to make you think profoundly as in a real exam. I admit that the number of questions is small, but the idea is "make the ball roll".

Download the mock, and see more.

Best wishes to all future candidates. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for any suggestion, feedback, or help.

Case Histories and Data Interpretation for MRCP Ireland Part II Written


I've received many emails asking me to make Neurology Mocks for MRCP part II Ireland examination. This part II examination is composed of 3 papers: case histories (60 marks), data interpretation (50 marks), and best of many (150 marks); the time is 3 hours. You may start with any one of these, but I would advice to start with the "best of many" paper as it has the bulk of the marks and is easier to read and to solve. The time is enough for those who are well prepared.

Each paper is like a "magazine", is to browse from left to write; some questions may take 3 pages, but generally each question covers a page.

Use a pencil and a rubber, as you may change your answers. Some answers are long, others are short (one word). The problem is that many candidates are unable to fully express and write down the answer (some answers are right, but they are incomplete and may deduct marks!), and may make many syntax errors (may deduct marks also). Don’t use abbreviations.

This mock "imitates" the examination paper, covering neurology case histories and data interpretation. Each question is followed by an empty line (for you to write the answer as in a real exam).Don't over write or go to other spaces. The answers are given in blue color; the explanations are in green color. This is supposed to be your questions' papers, before and after answering it. So, you will know what you are facing really in the true examination (almost all candidates don't know the "shape" of the papers or how to fill in).

This is the first and only free teaching neurology mock for the MRCPI part II examination, with tips of "how to answer", and imitations of the real "papers" so as to anticipate what you are going through.
Best wishes to all future candidates. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for any help:
