This practice paper has been developed as a structured revision tool to support your preparation for MRCPsych Paper A. It contains 100 questions and is designed to help you consolidate your learning, test your understanding of key concepts and reflect on your progress as you work through the curriculum. While the questions draw on themes commonly encountered within MRCPsych eLearning modules, they are of course not intended to predict the content of the formal examination.
You may find this resource particularly useful for identifying areas of strength and those requiring further revision. Working through the questions at your own pace will allow you to gauge where you are in your learning journey and focus your subsequent study more effectively.
The recommended time to complete this practice paper is 2 hours, reflecting a proportionate duration relative to the format of the MRCPsych Paper A written examination, which is 3 hours long and comprises 150 questions.
We encourage you to approach this resource as an opportunity to refine your exam technique and deepen your understanding of the syllabus.
