Interpreting Images in MRCP Part 2
One of the most important aspects of the MRCP Part 2 exam is being able to interpret images correctly, such as X-rays, ECGs and CTs. We recommend that you brush up these skills with practice on the ward, bolstered with our online Part 2 Qbank, which contains hundreds of image interpretation questions.
MRCP Part 2 Preparation
We believe that answering MRCP Part 2 sample questions, similar to those found in the real exam, is the best way to prepare. We also suggest using the MRCP Part 2 past papers and mock exams in your subscription during the run up to the exam in order to simulate the exam experience and practice timings.
