It's exam day!

For thousands of MRCP 1 and MRCPCH 1 candidates, it's exam day today.  For the last few weeks PasTest Online has been busier than it's ever been, and the Events Team have been running round like crazy ladies making sure all the revision courses run to plan.  Exam days are normally quiet in the office, with so many customers stuck in exam centres, but then tomorrow it'll be back to normal.

After every exam we start the process of reconstructing the MRCP exams using memory questions (sometimes known as remembered questions) to build the actual papers from the exam.  Nothing prepares candidates for the MRCP like attempting past papers, especially under timed-conditions, something that we highly recommend to all PasTest Online users in their last few weeks of revision.

Each MRCP memory question has to be checked, completed (understandably we get the odd stem missing, or the wording is vague) and then answers and explanations written for each one.  It's a long process, and one that we take a lot of care over, because we know how important they are to our candidates - how better to test yourself than by using actual exam questions?

About two weeks before the exam we release the exam questions into the database, and then the process starts again...
