Two of these stations will be rest or preparatory stations where pieces of work will be provided for discussion at the next active station.
ACE Courses provide face-to-face OSCE training, details for which can be found at www.acecourses.co.uk.

The Short Answer (Essay) Course SAQ
We offer a comprehensive online SAQ course. Remember that 60% of your written marks come from SAQs - the message for you is that if you don't do well in SAQs, you are unlikely to pass the exam. Short Answer Course features an extensive online bank of up-to-date questions that are likely to come up in the exam. Each question is provided with a detailed "Marking Guide" for self-marking, as well as feedback, advice and links to resources. We will keep adding questions month after month to this bank as new hot-topics emerge in the published literature or guidelines.
If you are a platinum member, you can expect direct tutor input via the correspondence SAQ course, in addition to the entire ACE Online MRCOG part II bank of MCQs, EMQs and SAQs.
