MSRA Comparison
Pass the MSRA vs Medibuddy
Compare a complete MSRA revision system with an adaptive, app-led question bank focused on personalised practice, spaced repetition and performance tracking.
Quick verdict
Medibuddy may suit candidates who prioritise app-based question practice, adaptive delivery, spaced repetition and performance tracking. Its published question figure covers a wider bank, so it should not be treated as a directly equivalent MSRA-only clinical-question count.
Pass the MSRA is the stronger option for candidates who want a larger clearly defined MSRA clinical bank, substantially more Professional Dilemmas practice, dedicated teaching, full timed mocks, structured specialty courses, revision notes, active recall, podcasts and video within one connected platform.

What candidates valued about Pass the MSRA
Candidates most often highlight the structured Professional Dilemmas teaching, active-recall tools and flexibility to revise in different formats.
I liked being able to read a short topic summary, test myself with flashcards and then go straight into questions on the same area. I spent less time deciding what to revise and more time actually doing it.
I used to approach SJT ranking questions largely by instinct, especially when several options sounded reasonable. The worked explanations helped me see the difference between being supportive and actually dealing with the immediate safety issue.
I was revising around nights and on-calls, so I rarely had the energy for long sessions. I listened to the podcasts on my commute, did quick quizzes during breaks and saved the full mocks for my days off. It worked well around an unpredictable rota.
