    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 ?

    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.
