This book contains 300 multiple choice questions (MCQs), in the format
of a single best answer (SBA) from four options, for undergraduate
medical students preparing for the Duke Elder prize exam run by the
Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth) annually.
The content is organised in line with topics drawn from the candidate
information pack provided by the RCOphth. Each question is supplemented
with a detailed explanation of the right answer as well as explanations
for the alternative answers, elucidating common mistakes made by
students. These explanations are supplemented with schematic diagrams
which greatly aid understanding. There are 8 chapters focusing on topics
outlined in the Duke Elder exam, each containing a set of 25 questions
and answers. This allows us to cover the most commonly seen topics
appearing in the exam.
The book will also provide a full mock assessment which will offer a
unique opportunity for candidates to apply their knowledge in an exam
context. The exam format is such that candidates must complete 90 MCQs
in the space of 2 hours. Our mock will provide candidates with a 100 MCQ
mock to be completed in the space of 2 hours 15 minutes.
