After conquering the grueling MRCP Part 1 and Part 2 Written exams, the PACES exam stands as the final hurdle before earning the esteemed MRCP UK diploma and joining the prestigious Royal College of Physicians (London, Edinburgh, or Glasgow).
This exam is relentless and demanding, with many candidates needing multiple attempts to pass.
It's worth noting that candidates are not required to take the PACES exam only after passing the MRCP Part 2 Written exam. It is permissible to attempt PACES after passing Part 1. However, I recommend completing both Part 1 and Part 2 Written exams first, as PACES is more a test of clinical skills than theoretical knowledge.
A quick internet search will reveal a plethora of personal anecdotes and tips of varying quality on how to pass this challenging exam. Fortunately, this article consolidates all the best advice proven to aid exam success. As someone who passed PACES on my first attempt, I will also share personal tips that were invaluable to my success.
