Fear...

"The majority of people permit relatives, friends, and the public at large to so influence them that they cannot live their own lives, because they fear criticism."

cleared mcrp-1

Exam was tough but not tough if u "prepare" and go...sound concepts and revision will save you...
I started from Feb ( for may exam) with 9-4job/night shifts ...
started with basic science and then medicine...
Basic -easterbrook basics book
Medicine -only mrcp book u ever need and Karla (reference)....NHS /nice for reference only
Did subject wise first (like neuro then cardio)..then mixed and did everything together...made notes for difficult ones and read before exam date....
Its your exam and its you who shd prepare and go for it...be confident... I repeat again that exam is not tough if u prepare for it
Key s medicine(each paper 60%med) coz many qns in basics also are medicine based ....
Regarding mcqs-did on examination only... could do only half (around 1.5k out of 3k)....and "revised" what I read.. Its always better to read one set of qns many times then many QN banks once ....
In between opds /duties revised from android app (rapid revision mrcp1)
Am a post MD candidate and now going for DM (super speciality) and doing mrcp is my dream...so if a post MD with 9-4pm job can make it anyone can.
Exam day -6hrs and 2papers -only 2things will help u- preparation and common sense approach which comes from practice /clinics
So guys plan and work hard and smartly too...
All the best smile emoticon
