About FCPS-1 Prep

FCPS-1 Prep is a question bank for the CPSP FCPS Part 1 exam, built for Pakistani candidates. We went through more than 43,000 past-paper recalls and turned the concepts they test into 4,500+ MCQs for each specialty, each with a full explanation of why every option is right or wrong and a link to the matching topic review.

Paper 1 and Paper 2 for your specialty

Paper 1 is the same for every candidate: anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, biostatistics and behavioural sciences. Paper 2 is specific to your specialty, so choose your bank: Surgery & Allied, Medicine & Allied, Obstetrics & Gynaecology or Diagnostic Radiology. You can practise each paper on its own, or work topic by topic across both.

Read the theory first, then solve

Every topic has a chapter in our own FCPS Part 1 textbook, mapped to the CPSP syllabus: anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, biostatistics and behavioural sciences, plus the Paper 2 chapters for surgery, medicine, gynaecology and radiology. See which topics come up most in the most repeated anatomy topics and the other subject lists.

Is Paper 1 the same for every specialty?

Yes. Paper 1 covers the general medical sciences and is shared by every specialty. Paper 2 differs by specialty. Choose your specialty when you start and your Paper 2 practice follows it.

Are these copied past paper questions?

No. Every question is written by us. Past-paper questions remembered by candidates decide which concepts we cover, and standard textbooks decide what is correct. See how we write questions: thehousejob.com/how-we-write-questions
