To help you select the best plan for your RCEM preparation, let us walk through it together. Three short questions, about thirty seconds, and we explain each one as we go. Nothing is charged until you choose.
Question 1 of 3
Each exam has its own curriculum, its own question bank and its own mock papers. Pick the one you are sitting next. You can buy another course later at any time.
Question 2 of 3
This is the choice most people ask us about, so here is the whole of it, side by side. Learning Mode contains everything in Exam Mode, and adds the teaching.
Question 3 of 3
Access runs from the day you buy. There is no subscription and nothing auto renews, so the plan simply ends when the time is up.

The brachial plexus arises from the anterior rami of C5 to T1. From the roots emerge the trunks (upper, middle, lower); each splits into anterior and posterior divisions, regrouping as cords (lateral, posterior, medial) named for their position relative to the axillary artery.
Curriculum-mapped lessons with collapsible sections, exam tip boxes, and references. Bookmark anything for later review.
Beta-blockers act on beta-1 (cardiac), beta-2 (smooth muscle), and beta-3 (adipose) receptors. Cardioselective agents (bisoprolol, metoprolol) preferentially block beta-1. Non-selective agents (propranolol) block all subtypes.
Every question explains why the right answer is right and why each wrong option is wrong. Mistakes become learning.
Three-hour timed papers across the full curriculum, with category-by-category breakdown of where you are weak.
Pick the mode that fits where you are in your prep. Upgrade between modes any time -- progress carries over. Try sample questions free on any course page, no signup needed.

Pick an answer. We tell you why it was right or wrong, and why every other option was wrong too. Mistakes stop being mistakes.
A normal CT head within six hours of thunderclap headache onset has a sensitivity approaching 98-99% for SAH when interpreted by an experienced radiologist (Perry et al., BMJ 2011; NICE Headache guideline NG12, 2021). However, a single negative CT does not exclude SAH. The Ottawa SAH Rule identifies high-risk features - including thunderclap onset and onset during exertion or sexual activity - that mandate further investigation regardless of CT result. Lumbar puncture (LP) performed at least 12 hours after headache onset remains the appropriate next step to detect xanthochromia by spectrophotometry, which distinguishes true SAH from a traumatic tap. CT angiography is not the immediate next step when LP has not yet been performed, as it would not exclude minor SAH without blood visible on CT.
Per-category performance, trend over time, and the weak areas you should hit next. No vanity metrics.
753 interactive stations covering MRCEM and FRCEM. Marking schemes, examiner checklists, hidden investigations, full actor briefs.
Realistic scripted exchanges, full SOCRATES, ICE, and red-flag elicitation.
Per-domain marking criteria, weight-aware. Self-mark or peer-mark.
ECGs, bloods, imaging revealed only when you actively request them.
Practise with a colleague. Full role-play instructions for the simulated patient.
I sat the MRCEM and FRCEM. I built this for the doctors sitting them next. Lessons that teach the way doctors think. Questions that read like real ED handovers. OSCEs that mirror the actual stations. Pitched at the level the exam demands, written by people who have been on both sides of it.
No subscriptions, no auto-renew. Pay once, study, sit the exam.

Three short questions: your exam, how you want to prepare, and for how long. We explain each one and show the price at the end.

Fitted revision in between overnight shifts. The structured station format made that actually possible.
An extremely well-structured platform. The EBM questions in particular were invaluable for this exam.
Good content and fair price. Would have liked a few more video walkthroughs for the anatomy topics but the questions got me through.
Evidence-grounded MRCEM and FRCEM revision articles, written by UK Emergency Medicine clinicians.
MRCEM Primary A registrar-level breakdown of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system for MRCEM Primary physiology revision, covering cascade mechanics, ED drug pharmacology, and exam technique.

MRCEM Primary A registrar-level guide to the mechanics of breathing for MRCEM Primary physiology revision, covering pressure gradients, respiratory muscles, compliance, and exam-focused practice questions.

MRCEM Primary A registrar-level review of multiple myeloma pathophysiology and emergency presentations, written for MRCEM Primary pathology revision with practice question stems.
Read articleYes. Every module maps directly to the current RCEM curriculum, with cross-references back to the official syllabus. We update content within four weeks of any RCEM blueprint change.
The exam bank is timed, single-best-answer, RCEM-style for mock practice. The assessment bank sits at the end of each unit and is graded for progress tracking. Every plan unlocks one course: an SBA plan does not include the OSCE course of the same exam, which has its own plan.
Plans are time-limited rather than recurring, so there is nothing to cancel. If a plan is faulty or inaccessible we refund within 14 days. See the refunds page for full details.
Yes. We work with several NHS Trusts to provide bulk access for trainees. Contact us with the number of seats and we will reply with a quote within two working days.
Each station includes a candidate brief, examiner checklist, hidden investigations, and full actor brief. They are written to mirror the structure and difficulty of MRCEM and FRCEM OSCE stations.
