MSRA Prep was created by practising GPs who remember the anxiety of specialty applications, the endless question banks, and the feeling that there had to be a better way.
In 2021, we were foundation doctors preparing for the MSRA. Like everyone else, we signed up for the popular question banks. We did thousands of questions. But something felt wrong.
The explanations were static. When we got a question wrong, we wanted to know why our reasoning was flawed—not just read a textbook paragraph. We wanted someone to challenge our thinking, ask follow-up questions, and help us truly understand.
That's when we realized: what if we could build an intelligent platform and tutor that was available 24/7, infinitely patient, and could explain concepts at exactly the level each person needed, with context of what and where you got wrong?
So we did.
"I remember sitting in the library, getting yet another question wrong, and thinking: 'I wish I could just ask someone why this doesn't make sense to me.' That moment inspired everything we've built."

The principles that guide everything we build.
Rote learning doesn't make better doctors. Deep understanding does. Our AI is designed to build conceptual knowledge, not pattern recognition.
Every question, explanation, and feature is reviewed by practising clinicians. We know what matters because we've lived it.
You're working full-time and studying. Our adaptive system ensures every minute counts by focusing on what you actually need to learn.
No inflated scores. We tell you where you truly stand, even when it's uncomfortable. That's how you actually improve.
A generous free tier ensures every doctor can access quality preparation, regardless of financial circumstances.
We update our question bank constantly based on recent exams, GMC guidance, and NICE guidelines. Medicine evolves; so do we.

Here's what we do differently.
Traditional question banks give you a wall of text after getting a question wrong. Our AI engages in dialogue—asking clarifying questions, using analogies, and breaking down complex concepts until they click.
The MSRA evolves every year. We track changes to the exam format, weight of clinical vs. SJT sections, and emerging question styles. Our content reflects the exam you'll actually sit.
Many candidates learn to recognize question patterns without understanding the underlying medicine. We deliberately vary question stems and scenarios to develop genuine clinical reasoning skills.
When we predict your score, we show you exactly how we calculated it and what assumptions we made. No black boxes.
We remember the stress. The late nights. The imposter syndrome. We built MSRA Prep so you don't have to face the exam alone.
