ONLINE MRCP Part 1 Exam: Everything you need to know!

In this video, I go through everything you need to know about sitting MRCP Part 1 ONLINE. I've teamed up with Pastest to create a comprehensive guide of the new online platform including equipment you need, how to set up before the exam, what happens on exam day, the exam interface, and finally my personal experiences.

I sat the exam online in September 2020 and although I encountered some technical issues, the platform was intuitive to use and I enjoyed doing the exam in home comforts! Particularly in these difficult times, it's a good option for candidates looking to avoid travelling and they will hopefully be opening this up to candidates internationally. Best of luck to all sitting the exam!

A bit about myself:
Hey guys! I'm Matt, a junior doctor 👨‍⚕️working in London in the UK. I've had so many incredible experiences as a doctor and my journey to getting where I am today and so I decided to try put them somewhere: this channel is it! I mostly post about my life as doctor but I put out educational content about things that I think I have something worth sharing, such as about studying, medical school or productivity.

Thanks Matt. I'm sitting this in Jan online and youtube algorithm recommended this and this was exactly what I was searching for! I contacted the board re the ~10% question display issue in your diet and they said they have switched to another platform for the upcoming Jan exam so hoping that the new platform/system doesn't new issues... congrats on passing MRCP part 1 btw and good luck with your yt career. Any tips for part 1 would be appreciated if you happen to see this! :)
