Specialties. This book contains 100 extended matching questions (EMQs) covering various topics within obstetrics, gynaecology, paediatrics and psychiatry. These are arranged by spe- cialty as ten practice papers, each containing ten themes. Allow your- self 90 minutes for each paper. You can either work through the practice papers systematically or dip in and out of the book using the EMQ con- tents pages as a guide to where questions on a specific topic can be found. We have tried to include all the main conditions about which you can be expected to know, as well as some more detailed knowledge suitable for candidates aiming towards distinction. As in the real exam, these papers have no preset pass mark. Whether you pass or fail depends on the distri- bution of scores across the whole year group, but around 60% should be sufficient. We would like to acknowledge the help of Stephen Clausard, Editor at CRC Press, for his patience and proactivity in commissioning and supporting this edition and others in the Get ahead! series.
