Now in its third edition, this book has become firmly established as one of the most popular and successful books for the DRCOG examination. It provides a highly useful 'roadmap' to the DRCOG syllabus and advises candidates on how to prepare for the exam. In covering the syllabus content, the approach is to avoid the minutiae of practice and to concentrate firmly on the 'need to know'.
