Throughout the pages of this textbook, you will find a wealth of information, practice questions, clinical scenarios, and expert tips.

To achieve success in the MSRA, a well-structured timeline and effective study strategy are essential. For these ranking scenarios the answer options are discrete actions and they should not be thought of as chronological. Please note: currently, all MSRA invitations will be for MSRAs delivered within a Pearson VUE test centre; however, once you receive your invitation, you can apply for a remote test ‘by exception’ if you meet the criteria set to do so. Your mastery level for each topic in the Medibuddy MSRA question bank will help you decide which areas you should focus on.If something important is missing, it’s for a reason – hence why answers where you explore the problem further rank higher.

Diagnosis – Evaluating the symptoms presented by a patient to identify a possible condition, disease or injury. Likewise, some specialties like Core Surgery, use the MSRA score alone to decide who goes through to interview, and even whether or not to score your portfolio. To book an MSRA exam you need to first apply for specialty training in one of the specialties that uses the MSRA. All material is available to use flexibly as and long as you have a plan, you can get through it all in a few weeks if needed.For example, GP and Psychiatry both rely 100% on the MSRA score so you’ll want to spend more time preparing for it.

The web interface is quite basic but the content is generally felt to be pretty similar to the real exam. Practice completing the two papers back to back so you’re used to the demands of the full MSRA – almost three hours completing an exam is no easy task. If you book a place but decide not to attend, you must cancel your booking at least 24 hours before the assessment is due to be delivered. Like any other exam, you should also do some practice questions to help you get into the correct mindset.

I personally only prepared for the MSRA for 1 month, but with the increasing levels of competition, 1 month is no longer sufficient.I am so lucky to get my 1st choice in GP training and I come from not having done any acute medicine in over 10 years!
