What is the MRCP Part 2 Written?
The MRCP Part 2 Written is the second of three parts of the MRCP examination, a postgraduate medical qualification required by doctors in the UK who wish to enter specialty training in internal medicine and many other medical specialties. The MRCP is awarded jointly by the three Royal Colleges of Physicians across the UK and is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous postgraduate medical assessments. It is taken by both UK-trained doctors and international medical graduates (IMGs) seeking to demonstrate their clinical competence to a recognised standard. For full guidance on the exam, please visit the MRCP UK website.
MRCP Part 2 Written Exam Format
The MRCP Part 2 Written consists of two papers of 100 best-of-five (BOF) multiple choice questions each, with candidates given 3 hours per paper. Passing Part 1 is a prerequisite for sitting Part 2, so by the time candidates reach this stage they will already have a strong foundation of clinical knowledge to build on.
Where Part 1 tests breadth of knowledge across core medical specialties, Part 2 Written places a greater emphasis on complex clinical reasoning and decision-making. Questions are typically presented as detailed clinical scenarios requiring candidates to interpret investigation results, weigh competing diagnoses, and select the most appropriate management step. The same broad specialty areas are covered, including cardiology, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, neurology, and clinical pharmacology, but the level of nuance demanded is substantially higher.
How to Prepare for the MRCP Part 2 Written
Preparation for the Part 2 Written needs to be structured and sustained. The exam rewards candidates who can reason through unfamiliar clinical scenarios rather than simply recall facts, so preparation should reflect that.
High-volume question practice remains the cornerstone of effective preparation. Working through best-of-five questions regularly builds the clinical pattern recognition the exam demands, and reviewing explanations carefully for both correct and incorrect answers is where the most consolidation happens. Pay particular attention to questions that hinge on management decisions, since Part 2 places considerably more weight on these than Part 1.
Use targeted reading alongside your question practice to close knowledge gaps as you identify them. Clinical guidelines and pharmacology remain consistently high-yield, and at Part 2 level a working knowledge of evidence-based management is essential rather than optional.
Taking timed mock papers under exam conditions is one of the most valuable things you can do in the weeks before the exam. It builds pacing, reduces anxiety on the day, and surfaces topic areas that need further attention before you sit.
