The examination for Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists

(MRCOG) remains one of the most internationally recognised postgraduate examinations

in the specialty. Over the years, the examination has evolved in keeping with changes in

medical education; the Part 2 examination now consists of two papers made up of Single

Best Answer (SBA) questions and Extended Matching Questions (EMQ).

This invaluable resource consists of 400 SBA questions (200 in Obstetrics and 200

in Gynaecology), followed by 400 EMQs (200 in Obstetrics and 200 in Gynaecology),

grouped into papers, to provide enough material to guide preparations and to give some

practice experience of the examination formats. All the questions have answers with

explanations and sources of evidence. In preparing for the examination, candidates should

make repeated references to these sources of evidence. There is also general advice

on how to prepare for the examination and discussion of the reasons why trainees fail

the examination.
