Pass Every Station

It's key to your MRCP PACES success that you can make the correct diagnoses and create suitable management plans. The MRCP(UK) 2019 Annual Report disclosed that 'Identifying Physical Signs' had the lowest pass rate; to address this, our resource will improve your ability to recognise clinical signs, including scars, respiratory sounds, heart sounds, and distinctive gaits.

What YOU think about Pastest

Highly recommended for PACES. You will have the ease to see all patients online at your own ease. Every penny well worth it. The videos are HD, the examination steps are systematic and the viva at the end is so informative. Thanks a lot Pastest! You have made it possible for me to pass at the first attempt at UK centre. I have attended no other course in the UK.

Asif Naseer

I really learnt a lot on presentation skills, the communication station and the other stations as well. It was a very nice experience for me and I would recommend it to my colleagues. Thanks to the coordinator and examiners. Well done!!! To crown it all, I passed the exam on very 1st attempt.

Adeogo Olusan

Demonstrations on how to examine real patients with evident clinical signs really helped. Also I love how many cases of the same disease were demonstrated just to show the spectrum of a disease's presentation.

Nada Zulkufli

I think Pastest has done the fantastic job with PACES. I would recommend this to all my friends who are preparing for this exam.

Ayesha Bilal

I found the content very useful, the clinical videos are well demonstrated with key points emphasised. Customer service via email has also been top notch. Overall I would recommend Pastest as a revision resource without hesitation.

L Ko

The best thing that ever happened to me. Pastest has increased my medical skills and my ability to pass examinations.

John Aig

I have been using Pastest for a while and I found that it's getting better from the education point of view. Very good for people who love learning. Compared to other online PACES resources Pastest is far better.

Abdirashid Mohamed

PACES needs proper practice of the cases which are often given in the examination. Pastest's material provides enough resources and methodology to practice the same. I am sure, with the help of these materials, passing PACES is easy.

Nasim Ahmad

This is all so good... available 24 hours, 7 days a week, even if you are tired just look and listen... you will be engaged... I recommend Pastest PACES to all candidates.

Mohammed Shafiq

Excellent teaching materials, very useful to clear MRCP. Videos of clinical patients are very good and helpful for clearing PACES.

Subraya Holla

The Pastest PACES videos are really fantastic, especially the Neurology & BCC ones. The pdf discussions also greatly helped during revision. Practising the stations gave me great confidence to complete in the specified time. I strongly recommend Pastest to anyone who wishes to clear MRCP PACES with a good score. All the people involved have done a great job.

About the MRCP PACES exam

What is MRCP PACES?

MRCP PACES (Practical Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills) is a clinical exam testing clinical knowledge and skills of doctors hoping to begin higher specialist training (ST3).

MRCP PACES Exam Format

The MRCP PACES exam consists of a ‘carousel’ containing five clinical stations. Each station is 20 minutes long and there is a 5 minute interval between stations. Two independent examiners oversee each PACES station where there is a patient with a given condition, or a surrogate patient.

See the MRCP(UK) website for the full MRCP PACES exam format.

The Royal College are updating the format of the exam in 2021 - read our blog for an update.

MRCP PACES Preparation

Our PACES subscription contains a variety of cases for each PACES station. The layout of the stations and the subject matter simulates the real exam allowing you to revise for a clinical exam online. As well as clinical videos our PACES preparation resource contains a variety of resources which help you to gain the theoretical knowledge needed to pass PACES. These include MRCP PACES tips for each station, role-play material which enables you to replicate the cases in each station, and MRCP PACES podcasts.

PACES Core Skills

Seven core skills are assessed in PACES: Physical Examination, Identifying Physical Signs, Clinical Communication, Differential Diagnosis, Clinical Judgement, Managing Patients’ Concerns, and Maintaining Patients’ Concerns. Use a variety of resources and real life practice to strengthen all these skills.

Carousel Stations

The five clinical stations you’ll encounter are: Respiratory & Abdominal, History Taking, Cardiovascular & Neurological, Communication Skills & Ethics, and Clinical Consultations. Split your revision and practice appropriately, and be sure to work on your weaker areas.
