PATHOLOGY MCQ’S
3
This is a collection of the bank questions that were on the RACS website in December 2005. They are arranged in an attempt to make studying regions easier, remembering that there is significant overlap, especially in pathology and physiology.

I found it useful to have a paper copy that could be annotated and an electronic copy that could be searched easily. Do the bank questions in their entirety a few times as a significant proportion of questions are repeated in the exam. In Feb 2006, 20-30% of questions were familiar. There is also a book “Multiple Choice Questions in Basic Surgical Sciences” by Buzzard that has additional questions that pop up on the exam.

Bear in mind that errors errors exist on the college website and in this document, and that the college website, bank questions and answers are updated (occasionally). In in doubt of an answer, cross-reference with the website and texts.

If anyone wants an editable copy of this to edit/rearrange/add questions or has any questions send an email, eugelim@bigpond.net.au
