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.
