About this exam
The MRCP(UK) Part 2 Written Examination is a postgraduate assessment for doctors who have passed Part 1 and are progressing towards Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom. It tests how well candidates apply medical knowledge to clinical problems, rather than simply recall facts. The exam is a key stage in the MRCP(UK) pathway, alongside the Part 1 and PACES examinations; candidates should check the current MRCP(UK) regulations for eligibility and application requirements.
The examination has two papers, each with 100 best-of-five questions, and covers a broad range of clinical medicine. Preparation should include cardiovascular medicine and ECG interpretation, respiratory medicine and pulmonary investigations, gastroenterology, hepatology, and other areas in the official syllabus. Candidates often need to interpret clinical findings, investigations and management options under timed conditions. Reviewing weak topics, learning from explanations and using the current examination guidance can help make revision more focused; free online MCQ practice is also available as one way to check understanding.
