Preparation Timeline
Work backwards from your chosen exam date to build your study plan:
Begin structured study — start with high-yield subjects (Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Genetics)
Register for the exam on the RCOG website before the registration deadline
Increase daily question practice to 40–50 questions per day
Switch to exam mode — full timed mock papers, targeted weak subject revision
Light practice only (20–30 questions/day) — focus on confidence, not new learning
Review your notes briefly, prepare logistics, sleep well
