Success in multiple choice question (MCQ) examinations relies on knowledge of the syllabus and skill in answering the questions. Practice is essential in improving success in answering MCQs.

This book i intended as a revision aid for candidates preparing for the MCQ papers of the FRCS (ORL-HNS) examination, and also the DO-HNS. The style and format of the questions in the book mirrors exactly the format of the examination questions, and covers all of the relevant topics. Answers and comprehensive explanatory notes are provided, along with links to relevant websites and key journal articles for further reference. In common with the examination, the book features illustrations and diagrams to illustrate the cases discussed.

The book is divided into two main sections: Single Best Answers (SBAs) and Extended Matching Items (EMIs) both of which are found in the exams. The first section is further dividedd into chapters by topic: basic sciences; rhinology and facial plastic surgery; otology and neuro-otology; head and neck, and paediatric ENT.

The book will be invaluable for candidates revising for the FRCS (ORL-HNS) or DO-HNS, but also for other ENT surgeons wishing to revise their ENT knowledge.
