While some of you have been partying hard this weekend, we’ve been busy at work getting more questions in psychiatry up on xamcram.

That’s 4 free tests just for you. The topics covered in this set are:

OCD, Learning Disability, Eating Disorders, akathisia, encopresis, self harm, Bipolar, sexual disorders and phenylketonuria.

All the questions have detailed references and explanations where necessary. Remember, you can contribute and add to the explanations for these for answers.

Hi All,

We’ve had our first glitch since our launch more than a month ago. Someone at our hosting provider wasn’t paying attention and our servers went down for about 3-4 hours.

We’re really sorry if this effected your revision plans. We’re taking the best precautions to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

Remember, xamcram is a free service being maintained and paid for by a very small team on meager incomes. We plan for these edge cases but sometimes they’re unavoidable.

Cheers and Thanks for your patience,

The xamcram Team.

Whoah! just having another look at the Royal College pass list and its a bloodbath for paper 2 MRCPsych ! I’m still reeling and my heart truly goes out to all of you that didn’t make it. It seems like there’s been a culling of some of the old tried and true topics and much of the new material has taken people by surprise. I’m still of the opinion that doing old questions is far from a wasted effort. Why? Not only do they give you the hottest flavours that the dudes at the Royal College of Psychiatrists like on their menu  (which strangely enough include beta baboons in the kalahari! ) but repeats are always a possibility. Paper 1 MRCPsych. goers seemed to have faired a lot better than expected.

We have over 120 MRCPsych. questions on right now - mostly paper1 and paper2 stuff, most have detailed explanations and are thoroughly referenced. You’ll soon be able to click these links and hook up to Google books directly. Its amazing the way you can see the book open on the very chapter you need. Its magical! I’m going to add another 100 questions in the next 2-3 weeks and make categorise the stuff under either MRCPsych paper 1, paper 2 or paper 3 in a more organised fashion. Xamcram is forging brave new territory.

May victory be yours!
