MRCP Preparation Plan - How to Pass MRCP in 7 Simple Steps

MRCP is a tough exam, no doubt about it. But based on my own preparation along with my teaching experience for last 16 years in MRCP - I personally recommend to follow “7Ps” rule. Lets discuss a little bit, so that it will guide you to reach your dream more easily.

What is planning!!! 1st you decide, you are going to give your exam on a fixed Diet. If you do not plan when to give exam, you can not prepare yourself seriously for studying. Try to talk with your families, colleagues - so that, they help you to provide sufficient time for your study purpose. Do not change your working area during preparation as it will hamper your concentration and you won’t get sufficient freedom in a newly environment.

After deciding your desired diet, You Need a Pool……. School. Upto MBBS, every student is under an institution. But after passing, we all feel helpless for proper guidelines. A Doctor needs to add with an institution or with groups of examinees, so that he/she will be able to get all the updated materials and also a continuous motivation for studying. When 1 can not study, other will motivate by saying - I have completed it. 

Practice is a must thing. It means Studying. If you want to pass every exam in your very 1st attempt, you have to study 6-8 hours everyday. Sometimes we do that we study 9 hours today, and next 2 days -no study at all. This is not the right thing. We have to study in a regular basis and it should make a practice. Anyway, the next question is What to study!!!

1st you have to gather knowledge. Remember, Knowledge is power that’s absolutely true, But Now we can say, application of knowledge is power- It will be more effective. So, study not only to gather knowledge but also try to apply the knowledge in your professional life.

You need to solve questions also. When we study a specific topic, it will remain in our mind. But during solving questions, we will understand actually which point we have to catch from a vast topic. So, practicing Questions is a very important role to take preparations for the exam.

During studying and solving questions, need to keep a notebook to write small notes which you feel important for the exam. You can revise it several times and can carry with you all the time. And that is our 4 P.

What I was telling you before, that is Revision. Without studying a topic several times, it is impossible to keep all the things in mind during exam. Thats why Perseverance is in the middle of 7 steps. Like a juicy Burger— ha ha ha.

Without the middle part, Burger is nothing, same as like without Perseverance, without revision several times, all other steps are nothing.

Remember, MRCP syllabus is a vast thing. Your hard work, your practicing questions- everything will go vain, if you can not give proper revision. While studying new topic, You have to revise previous topic for 10-20 minutes. By this, You won’t forget the previous topics. It will help you in getting prepared more easily and effectively.

The next P is Patience. Patience to study, Patience to keep oneself stick to study table everyday. MRCP is a long journey. Many Doctors start this journey, but lost in the middle of it. For keeping yourself Focused, Need to be very patience for a long time. Remember one thing, without hard work and patience, it will be very much difficult to achieve beautiful goals in life. And getting MRCP degree is the best beautiful goal of a Doctor’s Life.

When I took my oath for the 1st time during my MBBS life, since then, I try to make my habit to pay respect to everyone. As we are working to save human life, it is very important to give utmost respect to each and every human.

Even as a Doctor, you should give respect to your juniors, seniors, teachers and most importantly your family. Remember if I want to get respect from others, 1st I have to pay respect to them- that’s the rule of nature.

Lastly, but most importantly, connect yourself to your Almighty. In this competitive exam, even after full preparation, the exam can go wrong. So, pray to the Almighty for support during the exam.

Hope you will get your dream very soon. Don’t worry too much. You’ll do the best!!!

I took my preparation and guidance from SsAcademy International. It is a complete course. They provide lecture notes, question banks and also give some Ss boxes, Ss mnemonics which help me to remember hard topics easily. They regularly take mock test after completing one system. That exam also helped me for knowing my own level of knowledge on a particular system. I highly recommend SsAcademy for not only pass the exam but also gain the power of knowledge application in our professional life.
