first frcr
There are three sittings per year of the First FRCR exam. It is not necessary to pass both components at the same sitting. The exam is held in London, Hong Kong and Singapore. Additionally, it is possible to sit the physics paper in Birmingham, Manchester and Dublin. Candidates who do not hold UK training posts must enter a ballot system to sit the anatomy exam.
Anatomy
The anatomy exam lasts 90 minutes and consists of 100 images with one question per image. Candidates are examined on an image viewing workstation delivered on individual workstations. The exam uses the OsiriX software, which enables the candidate to window and zoom the images if required.
Candidates receive two marks for a correct answer, one mark for an answer which is correct but not fully accurate and zero marks for an incorrect answer. There is no negative marking.
Physics
The exam lasts 2 hours and consists of 40 stems, each containing 5 true/false questions. Each correct answer earns one mark. There is no negative marking.
What Doctors Are Saying
"What a phenomenal resource, I wish I had found out about it earlier! The explanations offered to each question not only clarify the right answer, but also make up a sound knowledge compendium which can be used to actually revise the curriculum. Using Medical Exam Prep is not only helping me pass exams, it is also making me a better radiologist. "
