Questions

Before you enrol

What do I get on every plan?

The whole course: all 36 topics, all 180 decks, 6,012 questions and 36 mocks. Plans differ only in how long your access lasts.

When does my access start and end?

Your access opens the moment Stripe confirms payment and runs for the plan you chose: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. Your end date is shown on your account page. Buying again before it ends adds the new time on top.

Will I be charged again automatically?

No. Each plan is a one-off payment. If you want more time, simply choose a new plan.

Which plan should I choose?

If your exam is within a month, 1 month works as a final sprint. Most candidates choose 6 months so they can go through every topic twice. The 12-month plan also covers a resit.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Every deck is built for phone, tablet and laptop.

Is the content up to date?

The course is written afresh and mapped to the MRCPsych Paper A 2027 syllabus.
