The Only MRCP Notes You’ll Ever Need www.sudamedica.com
, PREFACE
These notes intended to target those who are appearing in MRCP exam. The idea behind it was
collecting the most commonly tested topics and facts in the exam for my personal revision. The data
has been collected from many sources.
This book was not prepared to be the primary studying source but it can help you after finishing your
primary reading by arranging the thoughts in your mind and making every topic as short as possible by
highlighting the most important points about it. You may use it just before going through your favorite
MCQs book or internet site.
A friend of mine appeared in part one for couple of times, he reached to a conclusion and gave me a
valuable advice that said ‘when preparing for MRCP, study MRCP! Don’t study medicine!’ this book
helps you to study MRCP rather than studying medicine. But at the end, you have to be a good
physician otherwise MRCP will be a less valuable recognition, this is why I would advise to study
medicine before you study MRCP and for sure before you say that you are a member of the Royal
College you have to be upto the expectations.
This edition contains the latest guidelines including 2011 guidelines and recommendations. It is more
organized than ever.
In the 4th edition we have added topics that matters for part two, we have added many pictures, we
claim that it’s just enough to get you through the second part comfortably.
The study pattern we recommend is:
1. Study one chapter of your choice from this book
2. Solve the same chapter’s questions either on www.passmedicine.com, www.onexamination.com
or www.pastest.co.uk
3. Study another chapter and go online to solve its question, continue until you finish all the
chapters in the book and questions on your website of choice.
4. Revise the whole book.
5. Start solving questions randomly from another website (other than the website you have chosen
to solve chapter by chapter)
6. Now you have probably solved at least 4000 BOF questions, you have seen all the question
patterns in MRCP, now you need to stabilize the information you have gained through your
journey
7. The most important step is to revise this book again just before the exam, this should be the
last thing you do just before going to the exam. Solving question till the last moment is not
recommended, you have probably gathered enough amount of information in your study, try to
fix the information by reading this book.
All candidates who followed this pattern have passed comfortably and no single one gave us a negative
feedback in both parts.
