Product Description

Product Description
Based on the popular examination techniques course, the authors have produced a concise, practical and comprehensive book covering all aspects of the examinations. It encompasses recent changes in the structure and curricula of the Part I and II examinations. This book aims to provide candidates with the techniques needed to present their knowledge in a structured and professional way, in both the clinical and written examinations of the MRCPsych.

From the Author
When we were in training, all three authors were struck that even very good candidates can fail the MRCPsych exams because of poor examination technique. This book aims to teach both Part I and II MRCPsych candidates how to present what they know in an organised and effective manner. It deliberately avoids presenting readers with facts or practice examples of questions. Candidates need to learn such key information using other books, clinical learning etc. What the book aims to do is to help you to present what you know as effectively as you can – whether at interview, in patient cases and in writing (essays and MCQs). It will also help you consider how best to structure your revision for the exams so that you can maximise your chances of success.

We hope that it will be helpful, and value your feedback on the book. The content of this revised and updated edition addresses all aspects of the exams as of the publication date (2000). New changes to the College exams are planned, and efforts have been made to include information that will be easily generalisable to the suggested changes to the examinations in Parts I and II.
All three authors would value your feedback. Please send any suggestions to chris.williams@clinmed.gla.ac.uk.

Finally, we wish you well with your exams and hope that this book helps you perform as effectively as you can so that you do justice to your knowledge and skills. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Diappointing and lacking value-for-money, 26 April 2001
By reehansabri@hotmail.com (Croydon, Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
The biggest problem with this book is that it is a skeleton and what I felt it needed, at its price, was a lot more flesh. It certainly contains a lot of useful and sensible information but nothing that most people cannot just as easily pick up in lectures or courses. There is really nothing in here to substantially increase your chances of passing the MRCPsych exams. I bought it for my future Part II attempt. I was really disappointed by the lack of worked examples more than anything else. For example, there are a few essay plans but no example of an actual essay. Maybe, I am asking too much but this would really have helped. They describe some techniques for writing essays but they do not make much sense without more substantial examples. Again, the PMP section has some sensible advice but no sample PMPs. The advise on the clinical is good but they do not explain how much time should be spent on each section of the presentation to the examiner - this is important for the Part I. On the positive side there is an easy-to-understand chapter on statistics which is one of the best I have seen because of its simplicity. There are a useful few pages on a technique for memorisation called "Mindmaps" which they illustrate with just one example; it's not something I plan on using but some people who do not have their own efficient sytem of learning facts may find it helpful. Overall, I think people preparing for the MRCPsych (I and II) would be better off going to one of the well known revision courses and using their tips and handouts. Overall, that would be cheaper too as you can normally get your trust to pay for the course out of your study leave budget!

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good stuff but lacking in detail, 13 May 2005
By A Customer
Overpriced, like the exam, people will pay anything when taking the MRCPsych. The ideas and overall content of this book are useful but it is sadly lacking in detail. More PMPs and Long Case examples are needed. Also more advice on exam approach would be helpful, rather than the boring 'turn up on time' & 'wear a tie' stuff.
