I strongly recommend a course called EXCELPACES conducted in Trivandrum, Kerala, India. It is a 4 days intensive course covering all the 5 PACES station with excellent cases and surrogates with scenarios. All the teachers are current MRCP examiners from various countries including UK, Middle East, SriLanka and India.Candidates are from Middle East, Malaysia and India.Beautiful accomodation and fantastic food. I passed only because I attended this course and it is very cost effective. Visit their website called EXCELPACES. You won’t regret attending this course. Many reviews about this course in internet

Pass the PACES course conducting 2 courses just before the Chennai exam Oct 31st to 3rd Nov and 4th Nov to 7th Nov. the course totally revamped with main emphasis on the new station 5 where the max marks are placed. Passing MRCP will not possible without passing the new station 5. our course going to teach how to approach station 5 exclusively. it is tough course with session starting at 8 am and finishing at 8 pm with practical hands on training to every one individually. contrary to other course where pushy candidates has the opportunity and present the cases to examiners here every one assessed individually by the examiners every day. last day only mock exam for every one individually

From what I have heard, station 5 is only as important as other stations.It is a new station and so new for candidates,examiners and course tutors. People who appeared felt that new station 5 is not so difficult.It is also not true that if you do not pass this station, you will fail for PACES. The new marking system is such that the performance in all the stations carry importance and there are different aspects marked seperately in each station.
By Praveen on Nov 21, 2009
new station 5 carries more than 30% of the whole mark, failing the station of course fail you as a whole. The station 5 can be very tricky with the scenarios. Its all luck. If simple case good but it can be the opposite

i have selected in mca and i have back in 4 and 5 sem .i am bca student .i have taken college for mca bt i am confused that if i will fail in back thn i cnt do mca is any method to pass anyhow in mcrp by money.

Agree with Dharma about Station 5 being so crucial to get right. I attended the PasTest course and the Pass the PACES course and still managed to take 3 attempts to pass. I finally passed having attended a Station 5 Course run by Futures Medical (www.futuresmedical.co.uk). Well worth the £380 I paid and they covered skills tested in all Stations but with emphasis on Station 5. I could have saved myself about £1500 if I’d have known about this course earlier!

Past test paces stepping hill hospital 2 days weekend course is waste of money . They only had 2 abdomen patients.imagine just two. No AR case in cardiology . Showed very limited neuro case . Limited neuro courses. Don’t waste 850 pounds for this course . Better to do passpaces it’s 1450 pounds but I have heard they had 80 plus paces cases .
