EMQs for the MRCOG Part 2

The written paper for the Part 2 MRCOG examination is undergoing significant change. Extended matching questions (EMQs) were introduced as a component of the written paper from September 2006 onwards. The purpose of the change is to develop a format of testing which would probe a candidate’s understanding of the subject, enable adequate coverage of the syllabus and increase the objectivity of marking.

Both of the authors have served on the Part 2 EMQ Sub-committee of the RCOG from its foundation, working with colleagues in order to develop, discuss, debate and refine EMQs for the Part 2 examination.
