This was actually very helpful and honest. Please keep posting more ! 😇
You're the kind of people who really make things easier for others. Well done doctora! Goodluck in your endeavours.
Thank you so much Dr Surina for so comprehensive overview, very helpful 🙂 May Allah bless you with more than you expect
Thank you, Dr. Surina. That was a comprehensive take on the prep. For weeks I have been trying to push myself to begin my prep but was too petrified to even look into what methods I need to follow. This video has certainly helped me start

Hi Dr. Surina, One friend of mine who is appearing for MRCP told me that the college from which u appear for the exam matters. That candidates of RCS England have more opportunities and they are preferred over RCS Edinburgh. So is it true for MRCS as well? Does it affect from which college we appear for MRCS exam ?
hi surina.. 😊 what wil you recommend if you have to choose between emrcs and pastest?
Hi guys, thanks for watching and for your messages! I'll be recording another video going into more detail about how I revised and answering all the common questions that came up. If you have any more questions you want answered please comment here or message me directly (details in the video description)
Great work. I have a query that mrcs is necessary to write frcs exam?

I found eMRCS more than enough to then base my revision from (using the textbooks and websites as further reading). Didn't feel the need for any other question bank resources
hii.. i have finished my MS in Orthopaedics from India. What are the further steps to finish MRCS? and how different is it for IMGs? Thank you

How to apply for test if somebody don’t have a surname?
I am writing a letter In behalf of someone, he is having a an issue in regards to his medical degree. However, he paid already the amount of the examination fee. He already went to British council in Khobar Saudi Arabia and found out that he’s medical degree has having an issue but prior to that the British council accpeted it before the deadline. In regards to this matter, he has given a time frame to fix the issue until June 17. In addition to that, it takes long time to process due to the inconvenience aside from the work and he can’t be able to go back to Egypt right away. The money is a hard to earn and time consume in the processing for the exam is not that easy. The English version of medical degree information was mistaken and and the exam has been confirmed. I would like to find out if there is a refund for that or the rescheduling of the exam is a way better. Morever if there other alternative options to fix the issue. Thank you.

Nope had to be post MBBS. And no you have to do core surgical training first. You must complete MRCS part A and B before ST3 training

Hi Dr. Taneja. What would be the best way to study for mrcs part a? Is it good to start with raftery, completing it and then attempt questions in emrcs or start with emrcs first, complete all questions by reading explanations from every question and just refer raftery if any doubt?
@drsurinataneja

I think the second option - doing practice questions is KEY and do the rest of your reading around these questions.
