A 42-year-old woman has three small enhancing brain lesions…

A Osimertinib

B Resection

Explanation

The key facts are the EGFR exon 19 deletion, the asymptomatic small-volume brain disease, and the patient being neurologically intact.

Together these point to targeted systemic therapy first.

I authored the FRCS(SN) question bank I wish I’d had.

I sat the FRCS (SN) in 2025. My preparation was scattered with resources that weren’t tailor-made for the modern day JCIE exam. Books catered to mainly international exams, used outdated terminology and rewarded recall, not understanding. I decided to develop a platform from the ground-up which reflected the real exam.

Our questions are written in SBA format according to NBME standards, developed around clinical reasoning, with tiered difficulty settings to stretch all levels of candidates.

why pass(neuro)

Simply better questions.

Every question is written, illustrated were needed, and referenced for the FRCS(SN) - if it doesn’t add something, it doesn’t make the bank.

Written for a purpose, not to just fill.

Every distractor is individually defensible. If a question can be answered by recognising a single line of guidance, we rewrite it. The exam tests judgement between reasonable options - so we do too.

Every distractor is individually defensible. If a question can be answered by recognising a single line of guidance, we rewrite it. The FRCS(SN) tests judgement between reasonable options - so we do too.

Referenced, so you can check us.

Every explanation cites the primary literature or the relevant NICE, SBNS or NACCS guidance.

Illustrated like the real paper.

Clinical images, anatomical diagrams and operative illustrations wherever the question needs them. The FRCS(SN) doesn’t test you on text alone, and neither should your revision.

Clinical images are AI-generated.
