Short Essays, MCQs and
OSCEs for MRCOG Part 2
Justin Konje
Designed to help the candidate in preparation for each paper of the MRCOG Part
2 examination, this title concentrates on testing theoretical and practical
knowledge of obstetrics and gynaecology as recommended in the syllabus through
questions covering aspects of medicine, surgery and paediatrics relevant to
the practice of both. The volume opens with some general advice to candidates
on examination preparation and how to tackle the different styles of question.
The short essay section that follows includes 200 essay questions, grouped
according to subject for ease of revision. For each essay, the candidate is
provided with a list of common mistakes to avoid; the key points that the
examiners will be looking for in the answer; and a full essay incorporating
the key points described. The 300 multiple-choice questions forming the second
section incorporate the variable stem / true-false style of the current exam.
Short explanatory notes are included with the answers. The text concludes with
a section of OSCEs mimicking the stations that the candidate will encounter
during the three-hour examination. As recommended by the RCOG, the questions
have been designed to test factual knowledge and understanding, problem
solving skills, diagnosis, investigation, treatment, and communication and
clinical skills.

Short Essay Questions for
MRCOG Part 2
M.A. Khaled, A.G. Ellis
A collection of approximately 100 short essay questions in 10 papers with
model answers for the new MRCOG part 2 examination. Also includes a chapter
which explains the OSCE and how to prepare for it. The content is highly
relevant for the part II exams. During the last few exams recently, many
questions set were taken out from the book directly. The book is therefore a
must for the MRCOG II exams. The content is highly relevant, and questions
were drawn from a range of highly relevant topics in the specialty. The only
disadvantage of this book is that it does not break down the award of the
marks for the different points mentioned in the essay. The other short essay
book in the market by Birmingham medical staff is slightly better with regards
to this. Overall, it is a must for all trainees.

Mrcog II: Short Essay
Questions
Khaldoun Sharif, Parveen Abedin
MRCOG Short Essay Questions is the essential aid for all trainees studying for
the membership examination of the Royal College of Obstetricians and
Gynaecologists. This book contains 150 short essay questions, clearly
structured to facilitate both learning and practice. Questions are divided
primarily into obstetrics and gynaecology and secondly by main topics such as
infertility, operative gynaecology and antenatal care. The answers are written
in the form of bullet points; a format that not only clearly identifies the
key points but also emulates the structure of the model answers given to the
examiners by the RCOG. Khaldoun Sharif is a consultant in obstetrics and
gynaecology at the Birmingham Women's Hospital, and has a proven track record
as an author of MRCOG revision books. His co-author, Parveen Abedin recently
passed the examination and has therefore provided invaluable insights that
have ensured the content is both appropriate and up-to-date.

independently of, the main text as a self-assessment aid throughout training
and during revision for MRCOG examinations. Both the MRCOG Part 1 and Part 2
include MCQ papers and the MRCOG Part 2 includes a short essay question paper.
Therefore, this volume will assist with revision for both papers.
