FRCEM Primary

The FRCEM Primary is a daunting and notoriously difficult prospect and also represents the first step towards achieving a training post in Emergency Medicine and ultimately entering the Specialist Register. The FRCEM Primary examination is sat twice yearly.

The paper is three hours long and comprises 180 SBA questions. Each SBAQ will consist of a question followed by five choices, of which only one will be correct.

The main emphasis of the FRCEM Primary examination is the RCEM basic sciences curriculum. The following areas are tested in the following proportions:

  • Anatomy (60 questions)
  • Physiology (60 questions)
  • Pharmacology (27 questions)
  • Microbiology (18 questions)
  • Pathology (9 questions)
  • Evidence-Based Medicine (6 questions)

" Dr. Adebisi Adedokun, Emergency Medicine Doctor, Ireland
" I had no time, working in a busy ER with family responsibilities. I decided to start studying right after booking the exam with a 2 month window. The only choice was going for questions only. Friends advised me to go for the "FRCEM Exam Prep" question bank, I had doubts and wasn't sure, but it was worth every single penny! I made it the first time! The question bank was harder than the real exam and made me feel well prepared. I only used it once and not even completely and passed it at the first attempt. The unique thing about the question bank is the variety, abundance and professionally, well written explanations. The website Admin spared nothing to help me through the preparation without a delay. " Dr. Ammar Ali, Emergency Medicine Resident, Yanbu, Saudi Arabia
