Question content 

The questions will usually have a clinical scenario, may include the results of investigations and may be illustrated with images such as clinical photographs, pathology slides, inheritance trees, ECGs, Xrays, CT and MR scans, and echocardiograms.

Questions are asked about the diagnosis, investigation, management, and prognosis of patients using multiple choice questions in 'best of five' format. This format, in addition to testing core knowledge and comprehension, also assesses the ability to interpret information and to solve clinical problems.In MRCP Part-2 Syllabus, There will be five options: one correct answer and four alternatives to the correct answer. The four distractors will be closely related to the preferred option but less correct, therefore acting as plausible alternatives. The candidate chooses the best answer from the five possible answers. Each correct answer is awarded one mark; there is no negative marking.

The results of each examination are benchmarked using a process of test equating which ensures that the pass mark is adjusted for the difficulty of the paper and the ability range of the candidates. The reliability of every examination is monitored, and provides assurance that the results identify those candidates who have achieved the required standard.

A detailed explanation of the marking system used for the MRCP(UK) Part 2 Written Examination can be viewed on the exam pass mark page of our website and in the MRCP(UK) Regulations.
