Get Through MRCP Part 1: BOFs

I would like to thank the Royal Society of Medicine Press Ltd for publishing my new book, Get Through MRCP Part 1. I'm grateful to Sarah Burrows, Sarah Vasey, and Hannah Wessely at the RSM press for their kind help.

Thanks to Dr. David Misselbrook, the Dean of the RSM, for eloquently writing the Foreword page of my humble book.

I'm indebted to Nora Naughton, Aileen Castle, and Mandy Sancto at the Naughton Project Management for their marvelous work.

Special thanks go to Lucy Gardner, the copy-editor, who did excellent work.

And last but not least, I'm grateful to Bell & Bain Ltd, Glasgow, for printing the book, and to Techset Composition, the typeset, Salisbury.

Without the kind help and contribution of all of the above, this book would have not been published.

I'm intending to donate my royalty to support the educational activities of the RSM. I encourage other writers to follow the same path; medical teaching is NOT a business, it is a FREE flag that should be handed to others! A world full of knowledge and science will be a better place for all.

My free website, www.Neurology4MRCP.com, will continue its journey of helping the MRCP candidates get through this examination...

Our Second MRCPI Part 2 Mock Test....

This is the second Mock Test for MRCPI part II written general medical examination from Neurology4MRCP. I tried to include some of the themes that appeared in the recent examinations. Read the questions well and write down your answers. Finish the Mock within 3 hours. I would suggest starting with the best of fives paper (as it has the bulk of the score; 150 points). Then, you may solve the case histories or data interpretation paper (each one has a score of 40-60 points). Verify your answers and try to fill the gaps in your knowledge. Remember, practice makes perfect!

You will find BOFs, case histories, and data interpretation papers with photographic materials.

Don’t hesitate to contact us for any query.

All the best to the current and future MRCPI candidates…

MRCPI Part 2 Mock Test; The Irish Part...

I've been busy for the last 6 months trying to finish 2 things. The first is a self-assessment book for MRCPUK/MRCPI part 1 examinations. It is in the way of printing by a publishing house and will be available soon. The second is this MRCPI part 2 written mock test. It is the first whole mock test for that examination and it's free to download from our official website.
Thanks for all visitors.
