Questions about FRCS Plast Part A

It is Section 1 of the Intercollegiate Specialty Examination in Plastic Surgery: a written examination of two papers, each of 120 single best answer questions in 2 hours 15 minutes. This platform is built specifically to prepare for it, with every question mapped to the JCIE syllabus blueprint.

Plastic surgery registrars, fellows and international trainees preparing for the Part A. It suits both long-game revision across a rotation and intensive final-run-in practice.

Before each answer you rate your confidence. We combine confidence with whether you were correct to place every question in a mastery quadrant, then derive a composite exam-readiness score. The exact logic is transparent and explained inside the app on the analytics page.

It distinguishes four states: mastery (confident and correct), underconfidence (correct but unsure), knowledge gaps (unsure and wrong) and dangerous misconceptions (confident but wrong). The last category is the most important to find and fix before the exam.

Questions are original items written to the style of the official JCIE sample paper — lean clinical vignettes with same-category distractors and one planted discriminator — against current UK guidance (NICE, BAD, BBA/EMSB, BOAST) and standard texts, and every explanation ends with its reference. Specialist clinical review is ongoing; we publish which sections have had it rather than claiming sign-off. See our editorial standards.

No. The questions and notes are written for revision in the FRCS style and have not been through a formal standard-setting process. Always confirm against current evidence and guidelines.
