Four attempts. Seven years. A full-time surgical job in between.
MRCS Part B demands 4–6 months of prep you don't have time for. We're building anatomy, pathology and communication stations — including AI examiners that grill you like the real 3-minute viva and score every answer with the exact fixes, plus structured notes — so you can rehearse at 11pm after a theatre list.
Each sitting costs £1,177 before courses and travel. Between on-calls, the cheapest attempt is the one you only need once.
Start now on Clinical OSCE — AI voice and text patients, customisable mocks, notes and grading. Consent, breaking bad news, surgical complications and structured history taking are already covered by today's stations. When the MRCS track launches, if your Clinical OSCE access is still active you can transfer the remaining time at no extra cost, and your remaining AI Attempts stay on your account.

Frequently asked questions
What is the MRCS Part B OSCE?
The MRCS Part B is the clinical component of the Membership of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons exam. It consists of 17 examined stations, each lasting 9 minutes (1 minute reading + 6 minutes task + 3 minutes examiner questions). The exam covers applied knowledge (anatomy, pathology, surgical science) and applied skills (clinical, procedural, communication).
How is the MRCS OSCE different from PLAB 2?
The MRCS OSCE is specifically for surgical trainees and includes anatomy stations, pathology specimen identification, surgical clinical examinations, and examiner-led questioning — none of which appear in PLAB 2. The marking scheme focuses on applied knowledge (160 marks across 8 stations) and applied skills (180 marks across 9 stations), and you must pass both categories.
What station types are in the MRCS Part B?
The exam includes anatomy and surgical pathology stations (5 stations), applied surgical science and critical care (3 stations), clinical and procedural skills (5 stations), and communication skills including history taking, consent, and breaking bad news (4 stations).
When will MRCS OSCE preparation be available?
We're developing surgical-specific content including anatomy stations, pathology interpretation, surgical consent scenarios, and examiner-style questioning formats. Join the waitlist to be notified at launch and receive early bird pricing.
Can I use OSCE Revisions to prepare for MRCS Part B right now?
Yes — for the transferable stations. Start on our live Clinical OSCE plan to practise history taking, communication, consent and complication counselling with real-time AI voice and text patients, scored feedback and timed mocks. Surgical anatomy, pathology and examiner-led questioning formats are what the dedicated MRCS track will add.
Will my Clinical OSCE subscription transfer to MRCS?
Yes — when the MRCS track launches, if your Clinical OSCE access is still active you can transfer the remaining time to the MRCS plan at no extra cost. Transfer is one-way and applies to OSCE Revisions account access; it is not a cash refund. If your plan has already expired at launch, remaining AI Attempts stay on your account but there is no time left to transfer.
Do my remaining AI Attempts transfer?
Your voice and text AI Attempts stay on your account. They do not expire when a plan ends, and they remain usable after you transfer to MRCS.
Start preparing today — transfer when MRCS launches
Clinical OSCE is live now: AI patients, mocks, notes and grading. When the MRCS Part B track launches, active Clinical OSCE subscribers can transfer remaining time; remaining AI Attempts stay with your account. Join the waitlist for launch updates and early-bird pricing.
