In Year 2 at Edinburgh Medical School, you’ll build on the foundation of your first year and begin to explore medicine in greater clinical depth. Core areas of study include Command and Control, Transitions, and Anatomy, giving you a broader understanding of how the body functions and adapts.
The focus shifts from treating subjects as separate blocks to linking scientific knowledge with clinical application, helping you develop the insight and skills you’ll rely on as you move into the later clinical years.
Medibuddy’s Year 2 Edinburgh Medical School Question Bank is designed to match the second-year curriculum, with over 2,200 practice questions reflecting the material you’ll study. Each question is paired with a clear explanation to help you consolidate your understanding, focus on weaker areas, and track your progress.
Updated every year to align with the Year 2 Edinburgh syllabus, our question bank offers exam-style practice that strengthens your knowledge and builds the confidence you’ll need as you prepare for clinical training.
If you’re getting ready for your Edinburgh Medical School Year 2 exams, Medibuddy’s pre-clinical question bank is the perfect resource to guide your revision and build confidence.
At Edinburgh Medical School, the first two years make up the pre-clinical stage, giving you both the scientific foundation and early patient contact that underpin your training.
In Year 2, you’ll move beyond the basics introduced in your first year to explore more advanced systems and their clinical applications. Teaching is delivered through lectures, workshops, and clinical placements that allow you to apply scientific knowledge in patient-focused settings. These experiences prepare you to progress smoothly into clinical training in Year 3.
Medibuddy’s Year 2 Edinburgh Medical School Question Bank is aligned with the second-year syllabus, offering over 2,200 practice questions that mirror the content you’ll cover. Each one is supported by a clear explanation to help you tackle difficult topics, reinforce your learning, and build confidence.
By drawing links across modules, our question bank strengthens your revision, highlights knowledge gaps early, and provides a strong foundation for your transition into the clinical years.
In Year 2 at Edinburgh Medical School, students sit three summative exams: one held in December and two in May.

Alongside the exams, students also complete a clinical examination in July, which assesses clinical skills across eight stations.
