What is Primary FRCA (MCQ)?

The Primary FRCA (MCQ) is the first of four exams that need to be taken - and passed - to become a fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCOA). The following exams are Primary FRCA OSCE/SOE, Final FRCA Written and Final FRCA SOE. 

Primary FRCA (MCQ) Exam Format

The exam is three hours long and includes 90 Single Best Answer Questions (SBA). This is broken down as follows: 30 questions in pharmacology; 30 questions in physiology, including related biochemistry and anatomy; and 30 questions in physics, clinical measurement and data interpretation.

Each SBA question has five plausible options. Candidates must decide which is the correct or best answer.

In terms of marking, one mark is awarded for each correctly answered SBA. There is no negative marking in the exam.

How to apply

The exam takes place three times a year - in February, September and November - and costs £325. Applications open 3-4 months before each exam - for a full timetable and further application and payment details visit the RCOA website.

What our users say

About their Pastest product

Pastest was recommended by a friend to use in preparation for the FRCA Part 1 exam. I found the App very useful as could download and work through a "set" of questions at a time. A broad variety of topics covered and I like the fact that the answers are provided immediately with a comprehensive explanation, sometimes with relevant graphs/tables/illustrations. The dashboard settings help you to monitor your progress through the question database and you can opt for new questions only or include those you have got wrong before.

Jane Orrock

Used Pastest for both MRCP and FRCA and I’ve passed first time for all the written components, mainly because Pastest has a huge variety and number of questions.

Gemma Summons

Great question bank! Have used Pastest in preparation for the Primary FRCA MCQ and SBA. Great variety of questions including SBA. Easy interface to use. Mostly used the mobile app which was quite slick and effective.
