How to use the plan
Treat the weekly hours as a budget, not a target you must hit every day. Short, regular sessions beat occasional long ones. In learning weeks, finish each session with a few practice questions on the same topic; in practice weeks, keep an error log and revisit it; in the final weeks, take full mocks under real timing and spend as long reviewing each one as you spent sitting it.

Good to know
How is this MRCS Part A study plan worked out?
It splits your available hours across the exam’s topic areas in proportion to their share of questions, then orders the weeks from learning, to mixed practice, to full timed mocks and review. The more you already know, the more of the time goes to practice and mocks.
Do I have to give my email?
Yes, once. We send a 6-digit code to check the address is real, show your plan, and email you a copy. After that every free tool on the site stays unlocked on your browser for 90 days. Marketing emails are only sent if you tick the box.
How many full mock tests should I take?
The plan places them for you: usually a diagnostic early on if you have four weeks or more, one or two in the final stretch, and a last one in the final week. Reviewing each mock thoroughly matters more than taking lots of them.
Is this plan official?
No. PractiseExam is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (MRCS / FRCS). Check the official exam guide for the current objectives before you start.
