MCQ strategy: the questions where two answers seem equally correct
0
OrthoVellum Editorial · 7d ago
In the FRCS part 1 MCQ, I kept getting stuck on questions where eliminating down to two options felt arbitrary. The breakthrough for me was recognising that many of these are testing your ability to choose the MOST correct answer from a slightly flawed list, not find a perfect one. I started spending less time agonising and more time ranking the options by the weight of evidence behind each. This alone probably saved me 5 minutes across the paper for questions to return to.
