The questions are grouped to reproduce the new examination both in format and essay size.

This book will serve as an essential guide to all those trainees who intend to sit the MRCOG examination. The book will prepare not just individual's knowledge base but the practice tests will also refine both writing and time management skills, which are crucial for success.

The MRCOG is probably the most important international postgraduate examination in obstetrics and gynaecology. It is recognised and valued as a measure of ability. Members of the College are to be found in every continent, often as leaders of the profession in their countries.

A new curriculum and syllabus for both the Part 1 and Part 2 MRCOG examinations have been developed. Details of this new curriculum and syllabuses and their impact upon the examinations, are included in this volume. There is also a chapter on the significance of the Membership examination in a global context and the reasons for its continued popularity among candidates.

Concepts such as the standard setting and blueprinting of examinations are explained in detail, in addition to accounts of newly introduced formats such as extended matching questions (EMQs) and the evolution of the essay questions into short-answer questions (SAQs) in Part 2.
Most importantly, this book will assist candidates with their revision for the examinations and provides vital information on how to obtain a pass.

This book is written for trainees in all subjects related to health. Research-orientated questions are incorporated into the majority of Royal College membership examinations; for example, in the OSCE station a research study or paper has to be criticised.
The first edition of this book sold out in record time and whilst this second edition has the qualities of the previous it is now updated to be highly relevant to the research of today and tomorrow.
Because of the nature of the editors' posts and their contacts there is naturally an emphasis on the specialist registrar trainee in obstetrics and gynaecology and many of the writers and thus the examples in the text are obstetric and gynaecological, however physicians, surgeons, midwives and nurses could readily use the book.
