MRCS Part A: The Study Plan
How each topic works
You have full access to the whole Part A course. Every day is a run of exam questions, with the teaching built into the answers.
What the exam actually is
Part A is a written exam, sat in one day. Every question is single best answer multiple choice.
Paper 1 is Applied Basic Sciences and runs 3 hours. Paper 2 is Principles of Surgery in General and runs 2 hours.
It tests applied basic science and the principles of surgery to the level expected of a trainee two to three years after qualifying.

One tip from me
Two short passes beat one long one. Do the questions in the morning and the redo at night, and let the day settle in between.
