About Psychiatry Exams

Psychiatry Exams is a premium, mobile-friendly platform designed to streamline and elevate preparation for the challenging MRCPsych examinations. We recognize that the traditional path to qualification is often fragmented and prohibitively expensive, involving costly exam fees, extensive reading lists, and multiple separate resources. Our platform consolidates everything a candidate needs into one intelligent, accessible membership. We serve psychiatry trainees and SAS doctors committed to passing their Paper A, Paper B, and CASC exams with confidence. Our core value proposition is a curated, quality-over-quantity approach that moves beyond passive question practice. By integrating a vast bank of consultant-verified recalled questions with an AI-powered learning engine and a unique active learning methodology, we facilitate deeper understanding and long-term knowledge retention. Our community-driven model, moderated by NHS Consultants, fosters collaborative learning, ensuring that preparation is not only effective but also supported and engaging.

Features of Psychiatry Exams

Consultant-Verified Recalled Question Bank

Access an extensive and continuously updated repository of questions recalled from actual MRCPsych exam sittings. Each question is carefully adapted and rigorously verified by practicing NHS Consultants to ensure clinical accuracy and relevance to the current syllabus. This provides unparalleled insight into the format, style, and content of the real examinations, moving beyond generic practice material.

AI-Powered Explanations & Learning

Benefit from sophisticated, multi-model AI technology powered by Claude Opus, Gemini, and GPT, which is specifically trained on the latest Royal College syllabus. The AI generates detailed, nuanced explanations for every question answer, crafted using principles of adult learning theory to enhance comprehension and conceptual understanding, not just rote memorization.

The 50:1 Active Learning Method

This proprietary methodology requires members to submit one original question for every 50 they answer. This process of question creation, with topics reviewed by consultants, forces a deeper engagement with the material, identifying knowledge gaps and solidifying understanding in a way passive consumption cannot achieve.

Integrated Community & Consultant Moderation

Join a dedicated, thriving community via WhatsApp groups for each exam sitting. Engage in discussions, participate in group revision calls, and receive direct guidance from consultant moderators. This feature transforms solitary revision into a collaborative, supported learning journey, providing motivation and peer-led insights.

Use Cases of Psychiatry Exams

Comprehensive Exam Preparation for First-Time Sitters

Trainees approaching their first MRCPsych exam sitting can use the platform as their primary preparation tool. The syllabus-mapped content, recalled questions, and structured learning path provide a complete, efficient framework for study, building foundational knowledge and exam technique simultaneously.

Targeted Revision for Re-sit Candidates

Candidates preparing for a re-sit can focus their efforts on identified weak areas. The platform's detailed analytics, coupled with the ability to filter questions by topic and difficulty, allows for highly targeted revision. The AI explanations help unlearn previous misconceptions and build correct clinical reasoning.

Consolidating Knowledge Through Active Creation

Trainees seeking to move beyond surface-level memorization utilize the 50:1 method. By researching and crafting their own exam-style questions for peer and consultant review, they achieve a mastery-level understanding of complex psychiatric topics, which is critical for both written and clinical exams.

Collaborative Learning and Peer Support

Isolated or demotivated trainees engage with the platform's community features. Participating in discussion threads, attending virtual group calls, and sharing insights with peers across the country provides essential moral support, diverse perspectives, and sustained motivation throughout the demanding preparation period.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate and reliable are the recalled questions?

All recalled questions are submitted by candidates from recent exam sittings and are then critically adapted and verified for clinical accuracy by our panel of practicing NHS Consultants. This dual-layer process ensures the questions are both representative of the real exam and educationally sound, forming a reliable core for your revision.

What is the "50:1 method" and is it mandatory?

The 50:1 method is our innovative active learning approach where you submit one self-written question for every 50 you answer on the platform. It is designed to deepen understanding. While it is a core part of the learning philosophy, the platform indicates it can be skipped on mobile, offering flexibility while strongly encouraging participation for optimal results.

How does the platform stay current with the MRCPsych syllabus?

Our AI models are specifically trained on the latest Royal College of Psychiatrists syllabus updates and reading list materials. Furthermore, our consultant panel regularly reviews content to align with any college changes, and our question bank is dynamically updated with new recalls from each exam sitting.

What kind of support is available in the community?

The private WhatsApp community is organized by exam sitting and moderated by NHS Consultants. It provides a space for daily discussion, sharing resources, answering peer questions, and organizing group revision calls. This offers direct access to senior guidance and a network of peers at the same stage of preparation.
