Self-Assessment: BOFs for MRCP(UK) and MRCP(I) Part I

This is the third edition of my book, "Self-Assessment for MRCP(UK) part 1", which was published in 2009. The second edition, entitled "Self-Assessment: 650 BOFs for MRCP(UK) and MRCP(I) Part I" was published in late 2016. It has been six years! The third edition has undergone several changes and updates. COVID-19 strikes every chapter. In authoring this book, I tried my best to include the most common examination themes. You may encounter negative or positive stems. The questions' objective is to teach, i.e., a rapid review of every subject and theme. This book differs from my book "Get Through MRCP part I; BOFs," which was published in the year 2008 by the Royal Society of Medicine Press in London, and my book "MRCP(UK) and MRCP(I) Part I Best of Fives, Volume I", which was published in 2022. The former concentrates mainly on the diagnosis and management, i.e., what is the diagnosis, what is the next best step, what feature is consistent with your preliminary diagnosis, and so on. The latter concentrates on several updates in the management of many diseases, addresses some novel diseases and topics, and focuses on COVID-19. Undoubtedly, if you are well-prepared, you will pass the examination very easily. No need to panic when you hear about your colleagues' experiences. Lack of preparation is the single most common reason for failure. Remember, practice makes perfect. Read and self-assess; that's it! Good luck with your career and exams!
