MSRA scoring & marking scheme
Strategy: MSRA has no negative marking. Attempt every question — blank answers cost you potential marks but cannot pull your score down.
Scale: MSRA (% accuracy — ranked nationally per cohort).
How MSRA is conducted
Mode
Standard — practice without proctoring on Wrexa Edge, or enable optional webcam proctoring to simulate test-day conditions.
Test format
Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.
Backtracking
Allowed — you can revisit and change answers within a section.
Mark for review
Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.
Tools available during the MSRA exam
Wrexa Edge renders these tools inside the mock test exactly as they appear on the real MSRA exam — same shortcuts, same behaviour.
MSRA time strategy
With 147 questions in 170 minutes, you have about 69 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:
Professional Dilemmas (50 Q)
Target ~114 sec/question. If a question takes more than 171 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Clinical Problem Solving (97 Q)
Target ~46 sec/question. If a question takes more than 69 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Wrexa Edge's analytics show your actual time-per-question after every mock so you can spot which sections you're losing time on.
