FRCR 2A Revision Guides

Understand the examination, build a realistic plan and work through practical guides for each of the six published curriculum areas.

How these guides are prepared

Clinically edited and source-checked

The guides and question bank are clinically edited by the Clinical Editor. Exam-format information is checked against current RCR material where relevant, and questions are reviewed for accuracy, clarity, FRCR 2A relevance and a single best answer.

Official-source checks

Current RCR candidate guidance and curriculum material are linked on relevant guides so candidates can verify examination rules for their own sitting.

Human publication decisions

Final responsibility for publication decisions and clinical content remains with the human Clinical Editor.

Candidate correction loop

Candidates can flag possible factual errors, ambiguity or outdated content; material can then be corrected, revised, withheld or removed where appropriate.

Read the full content and educational governance policy. The 2A Bank is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Royal College of Radiologists.

Core candidate guides

Start with the paper itself, standard setting and a revision framework before moving into module-level detail.

Six curriculum-area guides

Each guide covers common SBA tasks, high-value discriminators, a practical revision framework, frequent mistakes and a readiness checklist. The RCR does not publish a fixed question quota for each area.
