Live MSRA Webinars & Courses

The MSRA consists of two main sections: Clinical Problem Solving (CPS): Assesses clinical knowledge and application. Professional Dilemmas (PD): Assesses judgement in professional and ethical scenarios (similar to an SJT).

Doctors applying to the following specialty training programmes in the UK are typically required to take the MSRA as part of the selection process: General Practice (GP), Clinical Radiology, Clinical Oncology, Community Sexual & Reproductive Health, Core Psychiatry Training, Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G), Ophthalmology, Neurosurgery (ST1), Anaesthetics (ACCS Anaesthetics), Core Surgical Training (some routes), Histopathology, Public Health, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS), Neurosurgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Old Age Psychiatry, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and General Psychiatry. Requirements can change each year and sometimes vary by deanery or specific training post. Always check the latest recruitment guidance for your chosen specialty.

MediWord is built by doctors who have recently excelled in the MSRA and know exactly what the exam involves. All our questions are based on real exam recalls, with explanations that are clear, concise, and fully aligned with the latest NICE and GMC guidelines.

MediWord: Built by doctors who’ve consistently scored in the top decile, MediWord offers a comprehensive MSRA question bank with over 3,300 recall-based questions, 630+ Professional Dilemmas (SJT) scenarios, full mock papers, and flashcards — all mapped to real MSRA trends and current NICE/GMC guidelines. No outdated filler — just focused, high-yield prep.

You don’t apply directly for the MSRA — it’s triggered through your Oriel application for specialty training (GP, Psychiatry, Radiology, CST, etc.). If your application is eligible and shortlisted, you’ll be invited to sit the MSRA. Key deadlines are listed on Oriel — apply early and check regularly.

There are two sections: • Professional Dilemmas (SJT): 50 scenarios in 95 minutes • Clinical Problem Solving (CPS): 97 questions in 75 minutes Both are set in a single sitting at a Pearson VUE test centre or online.

If you're using MediWord, yes. Our mock papers mirror the real exam format, difficulty, and time pressure. Many candidates say the layout, tone, and content feel identical to what they saw on exam day. Our MSRA practice papers are carefully designed to reflect real clinical scenarios, ensuring you're fully prepared. Other banks vary — many are too easy or not clinically relevant.

Rushing through without reviewing explanations • Memorising answers instead of understanding logic • Ignoring SJT frameworks and just “going with gut feeling” • Failing to time mocks properly • Over-prioritising niche clinical trivia instead of high-yield, frequently tested content Smart practice means learning from your mistakes, not just counting questions done.

Absolutely — if they’re realistic and come with quality feedback. Regular mock testing builds timing, pattern recognition, and decision-making under pressure. MediWord MSRA practice questions are built from real recall patterns, giving you a serious edge in both CPS and SJT sections.

No, some MSRA question banks either skip this section entirely or fail to accurately replicate the style of the real SJT. MediWord includes over 630 SJT scenarios, all written in alignment with GMC's Good Medical Practice. Each scenario comes with strategy guides and rank explanations—because succeeding in the SJT isn’t about guessing; it’s about thinking like a safe and effective F1 doctor.
