MRCP(UK)
Part 1 and Part 2 Written Examinations Introduction of new format
in 2002
From the MRCP(UK)
Policy Committee on behalf of the Federation of Royal Colleges
of Physicians of the United KingdomFollowing an extensive review
of the current MRCP(UK) Examination, the Federation of Royal
Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom has accepted the
recommendation of the MRCP(UK) Policy Committee, namely, that
changes be made to the existing MRCP(UK) Part 1 and Part 2 Written
Examinations.
These changes reflect
the progress of medical knowledge and are introduced so that
physicians in training are encouraged to develop their full clinical
and professional potential.
MRCP(UK) Part 1
Examination
The MRCP(UK) Part
1 Examination scheduled for 21 May 2002 will be the first Examination
in the new format. The Examination will consist of two papers,
each of two and a half hours' duration. There will be a break
for lunch between the two papers so that the overall examining
time will be six hours.
It is proposed
that in the UK Paper 1 will be sat between 10.00am and 12.30pm
and Paper 2 between 1.30pm and 4.00pm. · The first paper
will consist of 60 multiple true/false questions with 300 individual
items (similar to the current MRCP(UK) Part 1 Examination).·
The MRCP(UK) Part
2 Written Examination will be criterion referenced from 2002/3
with the introduction of a pre-determined pass mark. Candidates
will score marks only for each correct answer recorded. A full
explanation will be provided early in 2002 and will also be detailed
in the 2002 edition of the MRCP(UK) Regulations.·
The application
process for both Examinations will remain the same. The current
one paper format and assessment regulations for each Examination
will not change for the sittings scheduled on the following dates:
25 September 2001 (Part 1); 14 November 2001 (Part 2 Written);
29 January 2002 (Part 1); 12 March 2002 (Part 2). Full details
of the changes will be set out in the 2002 edition of the MRCP(UK)
Regulations and published on the MRCP(UK) .
The Question Paper (time
allowed: 2.5 hours)
a. The MRCP(UK) Part 1 Examination may be taken in General Medicine
