Abstract
This paper aims to enable examinees to optimize their performance in m ultiple choice questions (MCQ) by adopting a simple but systematic app roach in solving such questions. Although this approach is based on ou r experience with candidates for the Membership Examination of the Roy al College of General Practitioners (MRCGP) and examples used in this paper are typical of MRCGP questions, the approach is relevant to othe r similar examinations. Moreover, the presented approach may also help in developing significant cognitive skills relative to clinical pract ice.
