This blog post is especially for those who are at the very beginning of their preparation for MRCOG part 2. If you have already decided to go 4 MRCOG and want to start off your journey towards your goal, then this post might be useful.

You will find many great pieces of advice about exam preparation on the internet. I have tried to provide an outline for the exam and an essential reading materials list so that you will have an idea of what to collect and how to start the preparation. Please keep in mind that the information given in this post is not ultimate & comprehensive. You must add more to it whenever you come across relevant stuff.


Starting Point 

The starting point for your preparation is to spend some time on the MRCOG part 2 section on the  RCOG website. Most of the information I am about to share is taken and summarised from the RCOG website.
MRCOG part 2 is a written exam that assesses basic clinical knowledge and its application at a level of UK ST5 trainee in obstetrics & gynaecology as defined in the RCOG curriculum.
You need to plan well ahead of time as you are required to fulfil some prerequisites before you can sit for the exam. There is a time limit and frame to take the exam after part 1. (Please visit the RCOG website for updated information)

Assessment of training

From August 2019, the Assessment of Training (AoT) will be a requirement for entry to the Part 3 MRCOG exam.
Candidates will no longer need to complete AoT before taking Part 2 MRCOG exam.
