'Students preparing for the Intercollegiate MRCS Part A examination will be well advised to practise for this type of examination, and this is just the book to help them...As someone who, for many years, has helped trainees prepare for the exam and also acted as an examiner, I would recommend anyone preparing for MRCS Part A to work their way through these mock papers.
