Preparation

What MRCOG AI gives you for MRCOG Part 3

Clinically reviewed by NHS O&G doctors. Every question is original, cited against RCOG / NICE guidelines, and fed into an adaptive FSRS engine that serves you the right card at the right moment.

14-station OSCE simulator

Timed role-play across patient, colleague and structured-discussion stations. Run them solo or with a study partner.

Marking-domain breakdowns

Every station scored across the five core domains so you can see whether it was reasoning, communication or professionalism that let you down.

Rest-station-accurate timing

10-minute clocks and 2-minute rests baked in. Build the clinical stamina you actually need on exam day.

Consultant-mode AI roleplay

Practise difficult conversations against an AI that pushes back realistically: breaking bad news, consent, conflict with colleagues.

Red-flag emergency drills

PPH, eclampsia, shoulder dystocia, maternal collapse. Get your escalation script down cold before the real circuit.

AoT + booking reminders

The Assessment-of-Training deadline is the hidden trap. We email you ahead of every milestone so you never miss the booking window.

Syllabus

What the exam covers

High-level content areas set by the RCOG. Our question bank maps every item back to these so your weak-topic heatmap is directly actionable.

  • Patient-facing tasks (communication, empathy, shared decision making)
  • Colleague-facing tasks (handover, teaching, leadership)
  • Structured discussions on ethics and professionalism
  • Clinical reasoning across O&G emergencies and chronic care
