MCQ Success on My Second Attempt
Thank you so much for the MCQ tutorial. It was incredibly helpful, and I really appreciated the time and effort that went into it. The last-minute resources, particularly the 400 practice questions, made a real difference. Many of the question themes felt familiar during the exam, which helped me work through it more quickly and with greater confidence. I’m very pleased to share that I passed the MCQ. My exam result was significantly higher than the scores I had been achieving in practice, which was such an encouraging outcome. As this was my second attempt, I’m especially grateful to have succeeded this time. Thank you again for your support and for contributing to this achievement.
Supporting Trainees - MCQ Exam Preparation
I am thrilled to share that I was successful in the March 2026 MCQ sitting, in large part due to the wonderful resources available through Psych Scene. Thank you, as always, for the fabulous work you do supporting us, trainees.
Invaluable Support for MCQ and MEQ Exam Preparation
Psych Scene has been invaluable in helping me pass both my MCQ and MEQ examinations this year. Dr Rege’s explanations of key concepts across psychiatry are always well structured and easy to follow. The critical analysis videos, in particular, were excellent at breaking down what can initially feel like a jargon-heavy area for the MCQ, helping me feel less overwhelmed by those questions. The live MEQ course was also excellent for ensuring we had the right balance of breadth and depth in our answers, which really helped refine my exam technique. I appreciated being able to ask questions and receive in-the-moment feedback, including examples of different ways to approach question stems. The marking was also very helpful, as it provided constructive feedback and a more experienced perspective on my answer style. This helped me identify domains I needed to remember to cover. I would absolutely recommend Psych Scene to other registrars preparing for exams.
Exceptional Content, Excellent Results
Our group of three relied solely on your material for the MCQ exam, and we’re thrilled to share that we all passed with flying colours. The quality of the content and the effort you’ve invested in making complex concepts so accessible are truly outstanding. We’re deeply grateful for your dedication and hard work.
Passed MCQ and MEQ - first attempt
I want to advise that I passed both my MCQ and MEQ exams in my first attempt. I was enrolled in the respective Psychscene online prep courses and feel I gained heavily from these courses.
Incredibly helpful
The Psych Scene MCQ course is incredibly helpful. I passed my exam on the first go. The video lectures have made a meaningful difference in my learning experience.
Overall excellent course
Overall, the course is an excellent way to prepare for MCQ and CAP.
Excellent course content - MCQ
Excellent course content. The Psych Scene EMQ and CAP course was one of my main resources of study for the RANZCP exam. It is not just about the practice questions provided but the approach to the questions that is crucial. Dr. Rege emphasises the approach throughout the videos which is what I found most useful not only for the exam but also for working through clinical problems in practice.
Fantastic course - MCQ
I recently completed the MCQ exam. The course was fantastic and covered the essential criteria covered in the exam. The CAP section was great to get a solid grounding of the key concepts and is actually enough to get through the exam. Keep up the great work @ Psych Scene.
First Attempt Pass
I wish to share my success in the CEQ exam recently. I enrolled for online exam prep courses for the MCQ, MEQ and CEQ exams and cleared all in the first attempt. Thanks to the Psychscene team for your support!
EMQ & CAP 3
I wish I had this methodical approach to studying and learning when I first started training. I think I would have been so much more balanced in my approach and kinder to my patients and myself during the last 4 years...for not learning and memorising things as part of the strict dogmatic approach that often gets touted as the only way to perform an assessment or organise management. Thank you to the team at Psych Scene. You do a fantastic job...if only I had known earlier!.
EMQ & CAP 2
The PsychScene MCQ course is an invaluable and highly efficient tool that should be utilised by every candidate considering applying for the RANZCP EMQ exam. Thanks to the guidance and advice from the team at PsychScene I was able to pass this exam very comfortably after just one year of training! I encourage all new trainees to enrol as early as possible to boost your overall exam performance as well as help shape your mind to more mature and sophisticated points of view that will assist with challenges further down the track. A perfect blend of exam smarts and core critical knowledge. Don't miss it!
EMQ & CAP 1
I would definitely recommend for trainees to do this course but be sure to do the precourse material thoroughly before attending to use the course most effectively.
