In preparation for Paper I used notes from popular study courses in the UK and most of the other MCQ study books. This book, in my opinion was the best - its format was concise and easy to use. (Amazon review )
Product Description
Following hot on the heels of the launch of the new syllabus and new MRCPsych exam in Spring 2008 by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, this book contains 450 multiple choice questions to help psychiatry trainees to prepare for paper 1 of the exam. Supporting these MCQs are detailed explanatory answers and revision notes, referenced to the key textbooks used by trainees. The book's content is closely matched to the MRCPsych syllabus and includes practice papers for true exam preparation.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent resource for studying towards Paper 1 of MRCPsych. In preparation for Paper I used notes from popular study courses in the UK and most of the other MCQ study books. This book, in my opinion was the best - its format was concise and easy to use. The questions were very relevant to actual questions I was asked in my exam (Nov 09)and the answers provided were great to study from - evidence based yet straight to the point. I found this was one of the best texts for studying for Paper 1 and would strongly recommend that trainees use this book in addition to wider study as it certainly helped me pass my exam.

I would like to congratulate and thank the author for creating this book. This book has given lot of important information about exam techniques,which I was never aware of and this has completely changed my approach to answer MCqs. I strongly believe that the author has been very honest and realisitc,has compiled this book trying to address all the nerve wrecking diellemma's about preparation which I find very useful.
The most Important reason I would strongly recommend this book is that I felt the questions seemed very much similar to how they would be asked in the real exam situation.Here I dont mean to say they were repeated or they came in the real examination,instead I felt it familiarises you with the language they use in the main exam.I have used some other books in which the questions were mainly very very straightforward and after doing them one would assume that the main exam would be similar and easy ,which is not the case.It may be a similar concept ,but presentation of the questions is very tricky in the main exam,this book helps you to approach these questions with confidence.
Explanations to all the individual questions is another reason for my recommendation for this book.I have learnt lot of concepts from the explanation provided ,without needing to go through reference books .
On the whole this book is an execellent taster of MRCPsych and it does serve the purpose.

Format:Paperback
This is an ideal book for MRCPsych Paper 1 preparation. Each answer is provided with very good explanations and references to reliable text books (and not "Wikipedia"). If one reads around the questions provided, the entire syllabus is very well covered. It is also less time consuming as u dont have to go hunting for references yourself. With the change in the Royal College exam pattern and lack of MCQ question bank this book is a real boon. The multiple choices are intelligently chosen and makes you scratch your head a bit rather than being overly obvious. Definitely recommended !
