This one-day intensive revision course covered the

‘knowledge component’ that makes up 160 marks (8

stations) in the MRCS OSCE. The course covered the

commonly tested and high-yield topics in anatomy,

pathology, microbiology, physiology and critical care.

The day was specifically intended for those who had

completed a good amount of prior revision, but who

wished to revise and consolidate all topics in the

‘knowledge component’ of the exam in one day in

preparation for the exam during the second and third

weeks of October 2019. The day was calculated to be

equivalent to 30 hours of individual revision.
