Expert take: what MRCOG Part 1 really tests
MRCOG Part 1 is a pure basic-sciences exam for obstetrics and gynaecology — 200 single-best-answer questions across anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, pathology and statistics. Unusually, it needs no postgraduate training to sit, and the pass mark floats with paper difficulty (roughly 60–70%). It rewards a firm grasp of the sciences applied to O&G rather than clinical management, which comes in later parts.
Preparation tips
- Focus on the basic sciences applied to O&G — anatomy and physiology lead.
- Practise SBAs heavily; the exam is broad across 14 science topics.
- Do not jump ahead to clinical management — that is Part 2/3.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Studying clinical obstetrics/gynaecology instead of the basic sciences this paper tests.
- Neglecting statistics, genetics and pharmacology, which are all testable.
