Introduction

MRCS is the Membership examination of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons, awarded by the surgical colleges of England, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Ireland, and required for progression into higher surgical training in the UK and recognised widely beyond it. Part A is a written examination in two papers, covering applied basic sciences including anatomy, physiology, and pathology alongside the principles of surgery in general. Part B is an objective structured clinical examination assessing anatomy and surgical pathology, applied surgical science, communication skills, and clinical and procedural skills across a series of stations.

Anatomy carries disproportionate weight throughout, and candidates who treat it as something to revise late rather than build early usually pay for it in both parts. Part B in particular rewards candidates who can explain their reasoning aloud while performing, which is a skill that needs rehearsal rather than reading.

This section brings together Part A revision plans and question strategy, anatomy preparation approaches, Part B station breakdowns, viva technique, and practical advice from surgeons who have sat both parts.
