01 / Where you are right now

Let me guess how today went.

  • The ward was short-staffed. Again.
  • A&E overran.
  • Discharge summaries ate half your brain.
  • You missed lunch — MET call / Code Blue, depending which side of the world you're on.
  • You finally opened the Q-Bank. 4,200 questions left. Two months to the exam.
  • You did twelve. You got seven right.
  • You closed the laptop.

"I don't actually know if I'm going to pass this."

And by morning, you forget everything!

Here's what I want you to notice. None of that is about intelligence. Or effort.

  • 01Time you don't have
  • 02Material nobody has filtered for you
  • 03Resources that overwhelm instead of guide
  • 04A strategy you were never taught to build
  • 05No honest signal of where you actually stand

Every one of these is solvable. You've been trying to solve them alone, at night, after a shift — the hardest possible way. Not any more.

02 / The pattern behind the failures

We asked 1,200+ doctors why they failed MRCP Part 1.
Here's what they said.

Not one of them said they weren't clever enough.

03 / The fix

So we built the whole thing. Six steps. Nothing left for you to work out.

From the day you enrol

  • You never have to build a plan or a timetable.
  • You never have to choose between resources.
  • You never have to work out what to study and what to skip.
  • You never have to worry about whether you're ready.

You open the laptop and the decision has already been made. All that's left is the work.

How the Intellect Medicos Method runs

01

The strategy comes from us, not from you

You stop being the person who has to work out how to pass this exam. The approach is already decided, tested across a thousand doctors, and handed to you on day one.

02

Your plan lands the day you enrol

The full three-month plan, broken down week by week. What to study, in what order, and what you're tested on at the end of each week. Written before you start, not as you go.

03

Every resource you need, in one place

Theory lectures. Updated, concise PDFs. 150 MCQs per system. Previous year questions. Mocks. Flashcards. Nothing else to buy and nothing else to choose between.

04

We tell you the exact approach to take

Not only what to study — how to study it. How to read a stem, how to eliminate two options before you've finished reading, where the marks hide, and what you can safely skip.

05

Revision is planned three times over

A weekly revision plan, a monthly revision plan, and a full final revision plan before the exam. The fortnight most doctors improvise is already written for you.

06

We take you through the exam booking itself

When to register, how to register, which diet to sit, and what the day actually looks like. A small thing that nobody tells you, and that quietly costs people a whole diet.

What the 90-day MRCP Part 1 course includes

01

Theory lectures + PDFs

Full theory recordings in short modules, with updated, concise PDFs. Speed up through what you already know. Slow down where you don't. You set the pace, not a timetable.

Self-paced
02

150 MCQs per system

You will never work through a 4,000-question bank again. We build the concept first, then ask you for the minimum number of questions that proves you've got it — every wrong option explained.

No more 4,000-question grind
03

Weekly PYQs + mock tests

Past questions worked through live every week, a timed mock after it, then every question discussed. You always know your real number, not a Q-Bank percentage that flatters you.

Marked every single week
04

Revision, built three times

Revision is scheduled, not improvised — weekly, monthly, and a full final block. Includes complimentary access to the last two weeks of revision before the exam.

Weekly · monthly · final
05

Accountability + tutor access

Regular motivational and accountability booster sessions for anyone who wants them, plus tutors you can reach directly for expert advice when something won't go in.

Somebody notices
06

The WhatsApp group

Daily MCQs from past papers and sample papers, doubts answered, real discussion, banter, and a group of doctors sitting the same exam who pull you through the bad weeks.

Where the cohort lives
The standard we set

We don't aim for 450.
We aim for 500+

A pass on the line is a pass you spend the next month telling yourself was fine. We build the margin in, so that on the day, a bad question, a slow start or a difficult paper costs you a few marks — not the diet.

Pass standard is scaled by the RCP · we target a comfortable clearance

04 / The rhythm

One week inside the Method.

Not a syllabus. The actual shape of your week, from the Monday you enrol to the Sunday before the exam.

Mon — Fri

Theory, on your schedule

Recorded lectures for the week's system, in short modules. Watch at 1.5x on the commute, in the mess, or after a late shift. Nothing is missed by being on nights.

Across the week

150 MCQs for that system

The week's question block, with every answer explained — including why each wrong option is wrong, which is where the marks actually live.

Saturday

Live PYQ class

Past questions worked through live with Dr Chirag. You stop reading stems and start reading examiners — where the trap sits, and which two options were never in play.

Sunday

Live mock, marked, then discussed

Timed under exam conditions, marked, then every question discussed. You end each week knowing exactly where you stand — not guessing from a Q-Bank percentage that flatters you.

Any day

Tutor support and the group

A daily question and poll in the cohort group, and a tutor you can message when something won't go in. Studying stops being something you do alone at 11pm.

Your first week

You don't wait 90 days to feel the difference. You feel it by Sunday.

  • Your full 90-day plan, in writing, mapped to your exam date.
  • A baseline score from your first marked mock — your real number, not a Q-Bank number.
  • The systems costing you the most marks, named and ranked.
  • A cohort and a tutor who know you've started.

Seven days in, the question stops being "am I going to pass?" and becomes "am I doing this week's work?" — which is a question you can actually answer.

05 / Proof

Wall of Fame

If they can do it,so can you.

Every face here is a doctor who sat exactly where you're sitting — full rota, half a question bank, and no real idea whether they'd pass. None of them were exceptional. All of them were supported.

Busy Bee

Two full live batches. Triple the runway.

You can barely find 1–2 hours a day

For doctors whose rota leaves almost nothing. Less time each day needs more time overall — and more direction.

£1,199£1,499

2 live batches · 6-month live course + 3 more months of recorded access = 9 months, 3 exam diets — nearly a full year with us

  • Everything in Premium — the complete stack

  • Sit the full live course twice — the second pass is where it truly sticks
  • Re-watch lectures anytime — at your own pace, for 9 months

Elite mentorship · by application only

Your MRCP success becomes our responsibility.

Elite is not open enrolment. We take a handful of doctors each batch, and only when we believe this level of mentorship is what will change the result — usually resitters, or doctors who already know that left alone, the plan falls apart. If we don't think you need it, we will tell you.

  • Everything in Premium — the complete 3-month live course
  • Weekly 1-to-1 calls with Dr Chirag or Dr Baig
  • A study plan written for you alone, not adapted

Course vs access — in plain words.

This is the question we get most, so here it is simply. The live course is when we teach you — classes, mocks, the weekly plan. Your access is how long everything stays open — every lecture, PDF, mock and MCQ. Access always runs longer than the course, so if life moves your exam, you don't lose anything.

Premium · 6 months total · 2 exam diets
Live course · 3 months
Recorded access · 3 more months

Miss your first exam? Everything stays open for the next diet. One enrolment, two chances.

Busy Bee · 9 months total · 3 exam diets
Live course · 6 months (two full batches)
Recorded access · 3 more months

You sit the complete live course twice, then keep access for a third diet. One enrolment, three chances — nearly a full year.

For UK IMT trainees

You may be able to claim our course fee.

Many of our UK students have reclaimed the course fee in full or in part. Policies vary by Trust and deanery, so we give you the paperwork and let you make the claim smoothly. We provide the documentation; we do not guarantee approval — that decision sits with you, your Trust and your deanery, and the whole process happens after you enrol.

    Email us once you've enrolled

    Send a screenshot of your payment and tell us what you need.

And these don't wait for you

  • Five years of tested strategySince 2021 we have taken 1,000+ doctors through to a pass. You get the version of the method that worked on them, not the version we were still figuring out.
  • A head start on Part 2Part 1 is one exam of three. Our students carry straight into the Part 2 course — with offers that are only open to people who trained with us.
  • Priority access to our live workshopsWe run in-person workshops in the UK and the UAE. Current students get first access, before anything is opened publicly.
  • This batch, at this priceEarly-bird closes Sunday 13 September, 11.30pm UK. The batch starts 5 October for the January diet. Both dates move once, in one direction.

You are going to spend the next six months preparing for this exam either way. The only question is whether anybody is helping.

09 / Who teaches you

You're not buying a content library. You're taught by three doctors.

Between them they have taken more than a thousand doctors through this exam. One of them cleared it with us, first attempt, and now teaches it. All three still work in hospitals.

10 / FAQ

The things doctors actually ask.

Most doctors working full clinical hours need three to six months. Our course runs it in 90 days, because the plan is written for you before you start and nothing is spent deciding what to study.

If your rota leaves you less than two hours a day, plan for six to eight months instead. That is what our Busy Bee plan is built around.

Two to four hours a day is enough if the hours are structured. Doctors fail this exam far more often for having no plan than for having no time.

Our 90-day plan assumes 2–4 hours a day. If you can only find 1–2, take the Busy Bee plan and spread the same course across two batches.

From the 2026/03 diet, MRCP(UK) Part 1 costs £520 at a UK centre and £696 at an international centre. Fees rise most years, so confirm the live figure at mrcpuk.org when you apply.

That fee is per attempt. It is the main reason sitting the exam underprepared is more expensive than preparing properly.

MRCP Part 1 is not marked as a raw percentage. You receive a scaled score, and the Royal Colleges set the pass standard for each diet, so the raw mark needed shifts slightly between sittings.

Practically: don't aim for the line. Aim comfortably above it, so a difficult paper or a slow start costs you marks rather than the diet.

Yes — most of our cohort does exactly that. Theory is recorded and watched on commutes and after shifts, and the live classes are recorded too, so nights don't put you behind.

What makes it work is not extra hours. It is having every hour already allocated before you sit down.

Choose on time, not on price. If you can protect 2–4 hours a day, Premium is the right plan — one batch, 90 days, one exam diet.

If your rota realistically leaves 1–2 hours, take Busy Bee. You sit the full live course twice across two batches, with access for three exam diets and a plan paced over 6–8 months.

If you are short of time, no. Solve the questions in our Q-Bank instead — they are updated to the latest exam trends, and the topics are chosen from recent exam patterns rather than covering everything equally.

If you do have time, speak to our tutors. We will recommend a question bank to run alongside the course, and tell you how to use it without duplicating what you are already doing.

This is what we specialise in. We have taken IMT doctors through their 7th and final attempt — an attempt granted as an exception by the RCP — and many more through their 5th and 6th. With the right strategy and tutor support, they cleared it.

What usually needs to change is not your knowledge. It is what you study, in what order, and whether anything is honestly measuring you along the way. Speak to us. We have a lot of these stories, and they will do more for you than anything on this page.

No. All theory is recorded, and the live weekend sessions are recorded too, so nothing is lost to a rota. The plan also has 2–3 reliever weeks placed at strategic points, specifically so you can clear a backlog without falling off the schedule.

If you cannot protect any weekend time for the whole batch, tell us on the call and we will suggest the next one. We would rather move you than take your money.

Because you are not buying one piece of it. Count what is included: a written three-month plan, recorded theory, high-yield PDFs, 150 MCQs per subject, weekly PYQ classes, weekly marked mocks, grand mocks, RCP sample papers, triple revision, flashcards, reliever weeks, tutor support, the cohort group and help with your exam booking. Most courses sell one or two of those. You buy the rest separately, and end up paying more for a worse-joined-up preparation.

And you are taught by Dr Chirag Madaan and Dr Mustafa Baig, not by a content library. That is the difference between buying content and being coached.

Often, yes. IMT1, IMT2 and IMT3 trainees hold an annual study budget and MRCP preparation is exactly what it exists for. Many of our UK students have reclaimed the fee in full or in part.

We provide the documentation; we do not guarantee approval — that sits with you, your Trust and your deanery, and the process happens after you enrol.

11 / Last thing

There's a morning coming when you open that result email. The only question is what you did with the six months before it.

You can spend them alone, the way you have been. Or you can spend them with a plan, a tutor, and a group of doctors sitting the same exam. Same six months. Different morning.
