The fellowship of the College of Physicians and Surgeons (FCPS) is a highly reputed postgraduate medical qualification in Pakistan. This is awarded by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan (CPSP), which is a mandatory requirement for a specialist medical career in the country.

The FCPS Part 2 Written Exam assesses the candidate’s ability to function as independent consultants through a series of case-based scenarios that require detailed management plans, including complications and multidisciplinary approaches.

With the help of our expert panel of mentors with years of experience in mentoring FCPS aspirants and our champions who had achieved phenomenal success, we have amalgamated the most common mistakes to avoid in the FCPS part 2 written exam.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Lack of clinical knowledge

As the FCPS IIM parts are more focused on the general theoretical knowledge, the FCPS Part 2 exam is more rooted in the clinical aspects, which is also reflected in the written exam part.

  • Incomprehension of the exam syllabus

Unlike the IMM part of the exam, which tests the foundational topic in a broad manner, Part 2 is more focused on the clinical scenarios and real-life complexities. This calls for an exceptionally deep dive into the syllabus, including gaining familiarity with the cutting-edge medical practice in your specific field.

  • Inexperience in clinical practice

Compared to the IIM, which assesses early-stage clinical exposure, Part 2 demands advanced procedural and decision-making skills. This prompts the candidate to take a more hands-on approach to ensure success.

  • Inability to stick to a learning plan

A personalised approach to learning that incorporates various learning strategies like spaced repetitions and case-based learning is necessary to achieve success in the exam.

Along with a methodically crafted timetable that ensures necessary time is allocated for each topic, stressing improving weak points while maintaining your strengths.

Passing the FCPS Part 2 Written exam with flying colours can be a walk in the park with the right resources and guidance. StudyFCPS offers that and more through our wide range of flexible courses that seamlessly integrate state-of-the-art technology with world-class guidance.
