Dr F M - GP – MSRA Score: 583“I only came across Emedica a week or two before my exam, but I’m so glad I signed up when I did! Excellent variety of questions for the clinical and sjt papers, with detailed and thoughtful explanations.”
Dr E B - GP – MSRA Score: 582“I found the layout of the clinical questions very useful, being split into each topic, and having only 30 questions per section made it feel manageable! The feedback and explanations given for the SJT portion were also invaluable and gave you a deeper insight into why things were ranked a certain way.”
Dr M H - ACCS EM – MSRA Score: 572“I found the SJT day most useful as it explained HOW one should think through the questions. The multiple minimocks were then a very useful refresher. Going over (in detail) the common clinical problems was also very useful.”

The question pattern seemed very familiar which helped me and allowed me to answer the questions calmly.”

Dr G H - GP - London (ranked 27th) - MSRA Score: 625"Having struggled with other resources and finding that they didn't reflect the actual MSRA I came across Emedica. It was revelatory for being accessible and properly tailored to the actual MSRA exam. I firmly believe it is what made the difference to me."

Emedica provides a fantastic online course with questions that are highly representative of the actual exam. Each question provides an explanation and summary of the relevant topic, allowing a candidate to cover large subject areas quickly and effectively. This is ideal when balancing work with study. I sat the MSRA 2 years previously for O&G training. For various reasons I decided to leave O&G training and re apply for GP.
I used Emedica the second time round and significantly improved by score from 540 to 610."
Dr B R - GP - MSRA Score: 610“I ranked 24/11000 of all GP applicants in the MSRA and got my first choice London GP job. I attended the emedica course and used the question banks and found them invaluable.”

Dr L M - GP Offer “I am happy to let you know that I just got an offer for GP training in NI, MSRA 494, Rank 5781. I accepted with upgrades. What is interesting is that I only had 2 weeks to prepare as I had no information about MSRA exam previously. I bought the 1-month Emedica material, completed all the questions in 2 weeks. Alhamdulilah. It was worth it. Your material is epic. I would recommend to anyone.”
Dr M H - GP Offer “My score was 528, Rank was 3582. Emedica was a major part of my preparation.

The practice questions and going through their explanations together helped not only get familiar with the pattern of Qs but also an idea of what to look for while solving such Qs."
Dr S Z - GP Offer"Good questions and explanations. The crammer course was very well delivered and put together and really gave me a boost in getting my preparation in order. The key was in not underestimating the exam."
