Pair Pastest with a study partner. Take turns being the "examiner" using Pastest cases, and use the app's marking sheet to give honest feedback. The candidate who treats every Pastest case like a real exam is the one who passes on the first attempt. Start today: Log in to Pastest, click "MRCPCH Clinical," and try the free cardiovascular examination video. Then, practice on a colleague. Repetition is the mother of skill in paediatrics.

The MRCPCH Clinical examination (often referred to as Station 3 or the Clinical portion of the PACES-style exam) is widely regarded as the most challenging hurdle on the path to becoming a member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. Unlike written exams that test knowledge recall, the clinical exam tests your ability to apply that knowledge under pressure—with a real or simulated patient, a stern examiner, and the clock ticking.
