The Royal College of Psychiatrists sets and marks this examination. The College states that both papers consist of multiple choice questions and extended matching items, in a balance of approximately two thirds MCQs to one third EMIs. The section weightings below follow the College blueprint for Paper A. Always confirm the current regulations with the College before you sit.

Each section is a course in its own right: the teaching, then rapid revision, then the questions. Two of the five are open.
