# Passed MRCOG Part 2? Don't Book Part 3 Yet — Read This First Congratulations if you've just cleared MRCOG Part 2. Take a moment to enjoy it — this exam takes months of discipline, and you've earned the win. But here's something we see trip up even strong, well-prepared candidates every single sitting: **you cannot simply book MRCOG Part 3 the way you booked Part 1 and Part 2.** There's a gate in between, and most candidates only discover it when they're already in a rush. That gate is called **Assessment of Training (AoT)**. ## What Exactly Is AoT? Let's clear up the confusion first, because the name itself misleads people. AoT is **not an exam**. It is **not an interview**. You won't be asked a single clinical question. It is simply RCOG's review of your clinical training and supporting documents, to confirm that you meet the eligibility criteria to sit MRCOG Part 3. Think of it as a paperwork checkpoint, not a knowledge checkpoint — but on...

Failed MRCOG Part 1? An Examiner's View on Your Retake | MedHome Failed MRCOG Part 1? Here's What an Examiner Would Tell You Sit on the other side of an MRCOG Part 1 paper for long enough, and a pattern becomes obvious. The candidates who fall short are rarely the ones who knew less. They're the ones who knew the material unevenly — strong in the topics they liked studying, thin in the ones they avoided — and who treated a question bank as a substitute for understanding rather than a way to test it. A missed Part 1 is a data point, not a verdict. Read it correctly, and your next attempt looks very different from your first. What an Examiner Actually Sees in a Part 1 Script Part 1 is built to test basic sciences as they apply to obstetrics and gynaecology — not basic sciences in isolation. From the marking side, three patterns explain most fails: Recall without application. Candidates can state a fact but cannot apply it to the clinical stem in front o...

Failed MRCOG Part 2? Your Complete Retake Strategy | MedHome Failed MRCOG Part 2? Here's How to Plan a Retake That Actually Works A disappointing MRCOG Part 2 result is not a verdict on your ability as a doctor. Every diet, strong candidates miss the pass mark by a handful of marks — and go on to clear it comfortably next time. The difference is almost never more hours of study. It's a sharper, more targeted plan built around exactly where marks were lost. If you've just come out of Part 2 without the result you wanted, here's how to turn it around. Why Candidates Miss MRCOG Part 2 Strong on SBAs but losing marks on EMQs, or the reverse — the two formats test differently and need separate practice Not enough timed, exam-standard mock exams to build clinical reasoning speed Preparing in isolation, with no feedback on answer technique or where reasoning went wrong Relying on outdated or UK-only sources when RCOG GTG, NICE, TOG, FSRH and BASHH...

MRCPI Obstetrics & Gynaecology Theory: What Should You Actually Study? Preparing for the MRCPI Obstetrics & Gynaecology written examination can feel overwhelming. The syllabus is extensive, but success comes from studying the right topics in the right way. The examination tests safe clinical practice, evidence-based decision-making, and the application of current Irish and international guidelines. One of the biggest mistakes candidates make is studying random resources without a structured plan. Instead, focus on core concepts, guideline-based management, and regular recall practice. 1. Master the Core Obstetric Topics A large proportion of the examination focuses on common obstetric scenarios. Revise: Antenatal care and routine screening Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy Diabetes in pregnancy Fetal growth restriction (FGR) and SGA Preterm labour and PPROM Multiple pregnancy Antepartum haemorrhage Labour management CTG interpretation Operative vaginal birt...
