Let’s face it, the MRCP Part 1 exam is hard! Roughly 50% of candidates fail at the first attempt, and for many, it’s the first exam they’ve ever failed.
We’re incredibly proud of our AI-Powered MRCP Part 1 Question Bank, but we realise no-one likes revising for exams.
You might be the best SHO in the hospital, but if you don’t know your X descent from your Y descent, you’re going to struggle.
Now, we know you’re not going to be assessing every part of the JVP waveform on your next on-call, but you are going to need some knowledge of it if you want to pass the MRCP Part 1 exam.
When we were preparing for the exam, the most challenging aspect was the sheer breadth of the MRCP Part 1 syllabus. There’s a lot to cover, and trying to prepare while working a full-time clinical job is even harder.
That’s where we come in…
Like most of you, we prepared for our exams using MRCP Part 1 question banks. We used the same providers that everyone else uses, did the same number of questions and had the same issues.
Answering MRCP questions in a random order using traditional question banks is incredibly demoralising and inefficient. We think it’s the main reason the failure rate is so high.
The Medibuddy Adaptive AI-Powered MRCP Part 1 Question Bank uses state-of-the-art algorithms to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and create a personalised learning journey, specifically for you.
There’s never been a more efficient or effective way to prepare for the MRCP Part 1.
Most question banks on the market have over 5000 MRCP Part 1 questions like we do. However, we try to go one step further to give you the best chance of passing first time.
Our algorithms identify the areas of the syllabus that will most impact your exam score. Our platform then uses this analysis to provide you with high-yield, expert-written MRCP questions targeted at your weak points.
Here’s why we think we’re the best option for your MRCP Part 1 revision:
We’ve worked incredibly hard to ensure our questions are as close to the exam as possible. Authored by experienced doctors, our questions cover all the topics in the syllabus, from the basics to the random left-field questions that you can’t believe the examiners even thought of, let alone included!
The MRCP Part 1 changes every year. They are constantly adding and removing questions to keep it up to date. We take the same approach with our question bank.
After every exam cycle, we email all our users asking for feedback on how closely our questions matched the exam style. (Please reply; it really does help us out!)
If we find we’re missing anything, we add it. If they stop asking a specific style of question, we remove it.
Spaced repetition is vital to doing well in any exam. To ensure you don’t forget key concepts, questions you get wrong will be intermittently re-asked to check your understanding. If you get them right the second time, your mastery level will increase, and the algorithm will adapt accordingly.
Our platform is flexible, so you can use it in whatever way works best for you. You’ll have the option to switch between the adaptive and traditional style question banks whenever you want. This means that if you want more control over your revision and to focus on specific areas, you can.
Our traditional mode is set out just like a regular question bank, where you can filter questions based on specialty, incorrectly answered, unseen etc.
Best of all – any questions you answer in traditional mode are automatically factored into adaptive mode, so your mastery level will continue to increase as you improve.
We’ve written detailed overall explanations and turned them into a library. This is for those of you who like to progress slowly through a question bank and get comprehensive overviews of each topic.
For those of you who prefer to do 100s of questions a day, we’ve written bite-sized explanations for every question.
All that money spent on coding for medics courses was not wasted! We have an app on both Android and iOS. This means you can access the question bank on any device.
We listen to what you say and respond to feedback. If you don’t like an explanation, we’ll change it. If you think a question is a dud, we’ll delete it.
We even go the extra mile and respond to each bit of feedback directly.
If you want to give yourself the best chance of passing the MRCP Part 1, then the Medibuddy adaptive MRCP Part 1 question bank is the best place to start!
What is the MRCP part 1?
MRCP Part 1 is the first exam doctors must pass to achieve full MRCP UK membership. It’s only accessible to doctors with at least 12 months’ postgraduate experience in medical employment, assessing knowledge and understanding of basic medical sciences and clinical skills relevant to medicine.
Is MRCP Part 2 harder than Part 1?
MRCP Part 2 has a higher pass rate than MRCP Part 1. However, Part 2 is often considered harder, as it covers a wider range of clinical topics and more complex areas of medical practice.
How to prepare for MRCP Part 1
Your MRCP Part 1 preparation should revolve around a wide range of resources. You can consume content from textbooks covering basic medical sciences and clinical medicine and participate in courses and study groups. You should also be answering a high volume of quality MRCP Part 1 questions, which you can find in online question banks like ours.
Can I get a job in the UK after MRCP Part 1?
Passing the MRCP Part 1 is necessary for physicians wishing to enter higher specialty training, making it an important step towards securing a job as a senior physician in the UK. International medical graduates don’t need it to practice in the UK but typically need to complete MRCP Part 1, Part 2 and the PACES exam to achieve MRCP and progress in their careers.
Obtaining GMC registration is also necessary to practise medicine in the UK, and meeting English language proficiency requirements and securing a visa are also important considerations.
How does the algorithm work out what my ability level is?
As you progress through the question bank, our algorithm will be performing complicated statistical analyses of the way you answer questions. All of our questions have been tested on hundreds of junior doctors so the algorithm knows exactly how difficult each question is.
The algorithm looks at how you answer questions across a range of different difficulties to work out what your current ability level is.
How does the algorithm know what questions to give me?
Every question in our database has been tagged based on the skills required to answer it and its difficulty level. Once the algorithm has worked out what your ability level is and the areas you need to target, it ensures that the questions you receive focus on these areas. As you get better, the algorithm adapts with you, moving you onto new areas based on your needs.
How similar to the MRCP Part 1 are the Medibuddy questions and explanations?
Every single question in our question bank is written specifically for MRCP Part 1 preparation and is reviewed by our editorial team to ensure it is as close a match as possible to the MRCP Part 1 standard. We don’t borrow questions that have been written to prepare for other exams.
Our mobile app allows you to access your interview and exam question banks wherever you are.
