Best of five MCQs for mrcpsch paper1,by Dr lena pallaniappan
I would like to congratulate and thank the author for creating this book. This book has given lot of important information about exam techniques,which I was never aware of and this has completely changed my approach to answer MCqs. I strongly believe that the author has been very honest and realisitc,has compiled this book trying to address all the nerve wrecking diellemma's about preparation which I find very useful.

The most Important reason I would strongly recommend this book is that I felt the questions seemed very much similar to how they would be asked in the real exam situation.Here I dont mean to say they were repeated or they came in the real examination,instead I felt it familiarises you with the language they use in the main exam.I have used some other books in which the questions were mainly very very straightforward and after doing them one would assume that the main exam would be similar and easy ,which is not the case.It may be a similar concept ,but presentation of the questions is very tricky in the main exam,this book helps you to approach these questions with confidence.

Explanations to all the individual questions is another reason for my recommendation for this book.I have learnt lot of concepts from the explanation provided ,without needing to go through reference books .

On the whole this book is an execellent taster of MRCPsych and it does serve the purpose.

Psychomaster
Excellent book for candidates preparing for the new MRCPsych exams.

It is clearly matched to the new syllabus and provides detailed explanations with references for all 450 questions.

I am sure that this book will be extremely helpful for both trainees and trainers. I also liked the introductory chapter on how to approach the best of five questions with useful tips.

Good effort by both authors.

Genuinely good book
This is an ideal book for MRCPsych Paper 1 preparation. Each answer is provided with very good explanations and references to reliable text books (and not "Wikipedia"). If one reads around the questions provided, the entire syllabus is very well covered. It is also less time consuming as u dont have to go hunting for references yourself. With the change in the Royal College exam pattern and lack of MCQ question bank this book is a real boon. The multiple choices are intelligently chosen and makes you scratch your head a bit rather than being overly obvious. Definitely recommended !
