What YOU think about Pastest

Trustpilot

I have used Pastest for preparing for the MRCPCH exams (FOP/TAS and AKP) and I would highly recommend it for candidates. It is without a doubt an essential tool to help you understand the questions that are going to potentially be asked in the actual exam. Very high quality information and a large number of questions available. I passed the examinations in the first attempt, all thanks to Pastest.

Mishail Zia

Pastest is very useful and reliable. It's a definite pass when you subscribe to Pastest and finish the questions in their question bank. All questions are very exam orientated and it gives you the feel of sitting for the real exam. I have recommended Pastest to many of my friends.

Shalini Selvaraja

I am finding Pastest very user friendly and an excellent learning resource for MRCPCH. The podcasts and videos are also very helpful teaching and guiding resources. Thanks a million! :-)

Maria Marvikka

Very useful for both MRCPCH FOP/TAS and AKP, this is the best one for all aspirants of MRCPCH.

Ansar Baig

Really easy to use and navigate. I like the explanation for each answers and also the fact that we can set mock tests with a specific time.

Pui Fun Lee

Pastest is very helpful in preparation for exams, especially when time is a limiting factor. I am preparing for MRCPCH and am thankful to everyone associated with Pastest. I am hopeful to pass my exams. Pastest gives me confidence and is also helpful in clearing your doubts through the videos and podcasts.

Anusha Priyanka

I have attempted the MRCPCH exams several times and I have been failing. Now that I'm trying to sit for another exam, I feel Pastest is the only one which really trains how you're supposed to understand the questions and directs you how to answer them by understanding the clues in the questions. Pastest helps you to understand the tricky part of the questions. Now I know why I have been failing. I totally recommend this for those who want to sit for MRCPCH.

About the MRCPCH FOP Exam

What is MRCPCH Foundation Of Practice (FOP)?

MRCPCH Foundation of Practice (previously known as MRCPCH Part 1A) is one of the three theory examinations needed to become a Member of the Royal College of Paediatrics (MRCPCH). This theory examination is 2.5 hours long and is taken at a test centre on a computer. The MRCPCH FOP questions are in two formats: Single Best Answer (SBA) and Extended Matching Questions (EMQs). Each question includes a case history and may contain photographic material. 

MRCPCH FOP Exam Content

The MRCPCH FOP exam is an exam designed to test the knowledge of candidates in regards to providing clinical care for children. Essentially, the FOP exam is what decides if a candidate has reached the standard required of someone entering their chosen specialist field training. The FOP exam is also taken by GPs doing the DCH so will include questions that are more general practice-based.

The MRCPCH FOP exam typically consists of 70 SBAs and 10 EMQs, which cover a broad range of topics, including Cardiology, Child Development, Metabolism & Metabolic Medicine, and Neonatology.

The full exam syllabus can be found on the RCPCH website.
