MSRA Question Banks for UK Doctors

The MSRA is a 170-minute computer-based exam consisting of two papers: the Professional Dilemmas paper (situational judgement test, 50 questions, 95 minutes) and the Clinical Problem Solving paper (86 questions, 75 minutes). No negative marking is applied.

The MSRA is used in specialty selection for General Practice, Core Psychiatry, Core Surgical Training, Clinical Radiology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, Anaesthetics, Neurosurgery, Nuclear Medicine, Community Sexual and Reproductive Health, and ACCS Emergency Medicine. Paediatrics is not on NHS England's MSRA list.

Due to high application volumes, the MSRA is delivered across two split testing windows: a January sitting open to all specialties, and a February sitting reserved for applicants who apply only to Core Psychiatry and/or General Practice. If the February sitting fills, some of those applicants sit in January instead.
