How maternal medicine is examined

Part 2 is 200 questions across 2 papers, each 50 SBAs and 50 EMQs in three hours. SBAs carry 40% of the marks and EMQs 60%, so a module you know only well enough to recognise one best answer is still a module you can lose an EMQ theme on. The RCOG does not publish how many questions fall to maternal medicine, and this page does not estimate one. What it gives you instead is the published guidance the questions are written from.
