Based on publicly available provider pages reviewed on 19 July 2026. Prices relate to the lowest publicly advertised paid access option; access periods and included features vary. “Not stated” means a clear public figure or feature description was not found. Features and prices may change.

How this comparison was prepared

We compare publicly available information from each provider’s own website. Prices and features can change, so the review date is shown beneath the table.

Where a clear figure or feature description could not be confirmed, we use “Not stated” rather than estimating it. Access periods and package inclusions may differ, so candidates should check the provider’s current information before purchasing.

Why Pass the MSRA is more than a question bank

Many MSRA resources focus on one part of preparation, such as questions, teaching or video. Pass the MSRA brings clinical revision, Professional Dilemmas preparation, active recall and mock practice together in one structured system.

  • Learn by specialty — work through structured clinical courses rather than relying on random question practice.
  • Prepare for both papers — combine Clinical Problem Solving with dedicated Professional Dilemmas teaching.
  • Use active recall — revise with questions, flashcards, rapid quizzes, Q&As and mock papers.
  • Revise in different formats — use written resources, podcasts and video around shifts and daily life.
  • Keep everything together — reduce the need for several separate revision subscriptions.

A low-cost question bank may be enough for candidates who only want additional question practice. Pass the MSRA is designed for candidates who want a broader revision system without combining several separate subscriptions.

What matters most when choosing an MSRA resource?

Question count is not everything

A large bank is useful only when the questions are relevant and the explanations help you learn from mistakes. Compare the quality and structure of the learning experience, not only the headline number.

CPS and Professional Dilemmas need different preparation

Clinical Problem Solving tests breadth of knowledge and pattern recognition. Professional Dilemmas tests patient safety, escalation, accountability and professional judgement. Strong preparation should support both explicitly.

Choose a system you can use consistently

Revision has to fit around work and daily life. Short notes, audio and flashcards suit spare minutes, while longer question sessions and mock papers can be reserved for protected study time.

Consider total cost, not just the headline price

A cheaper question bank may still require separate spending on notes, Professional Dilemmas teaching, flashcards or mock papers. Compare the cost of the complete preparation package you are likely to use.

Common questions

Which MSRA resource has the most comprehensive revision system?

If you want everything in one place — clinical questions, Professional Dilemmas teaching, revision notes, flashcards, active recall, rapid quizzes, mocks, podcasts and video — Pass the MSRA is built as a complete system rather than a single question bank. Several competitors do one or two of these things well; fewer bring them all together.

Is Pass the MSRA better than PassMedicine for the SJT?

For Professional Dilemmas (the SJT paper), Pass the MSRA offers dedicated teaching including a free 100-page SJT textbook, scenarios and mock papers. PassMedicine includes Professional Dilemmas questions within its bank. If structured SJT technique matters to you, the dedicated teaching is the practical difference.

Is Pass the MSRA only for GP applicants?

No. The MSRA is used for entry to many training routes, and the clinical and Professional Dilemmas material applies across specialties that use the exam, not GP alone.

Should I use more than one MSRA question bank?

Some candidates do, to widen question exposure. If you go that route, the sensible pairing is a broad clinical bank plus a resource with strong Professional Dilemmas teaching and revision structure — which is where an all-in-one system reduces the need to stitch several tools together.

Is a question bank enough for the Professional Dilemmas paper?

Questions alone often are not. The PD paper rewards understanding the reasoning behind ranking and multiple-response formats — patient safety, escalation, professionalism. Teaching that explains why an option is unsafe or too passive tends to help more than answer keys alone.

Which resource is best for an IMG?

Candidates who are less familiar with NHS professional expectations may particularly value resources that explicitly teach escalation, confidentiality, accountability and patient-centred care, alongside clinical question practice.

Are the prices and question counts kept up to date?

We check each provider against their public pages and show the date checked. Features and prices change, so we mark anything we cannot confirm as “not publicly stated” rather than guessing, and refresh the tables periodically.

Can I try Pass the MSRA before subscribing?

Yes — the free SJT textbook, the YouTube teaching and the Spotify podcasts are open to everyone, so you can judge the explanation style before deciding.
