The SCE Neurology is consistently rated among the more intellectually demanding Specialty Certificate Examinations. The curriculum spans epilepsy, cerebrovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, headache, peripheral neuropathy, neuromuscular disease, neurodegenerative conditions, and neuro-oncology — each with its own guideline ecosystem. Your question bank must cover all of these domains and, critically, must include robust coverage of DVLA driving rules, which are tested in virtually every sitting.
StudyPRN
StudyPRN's Neurology bank contains approximately 503 questions — one of their smaller specialty banks. The questions are written by consultant neurologists and cover the JRCPTB Neurology curriculum. At 503 questions across a curriculum this broad, the coverage per topic is thinner than for specialties where StudyPRN has 700 or more questions. You will likely exhaust the bank before your revision period ends, which limits the value of ongoing practice.
The pricing is approximately £62 to £149 for three months depending on the package selected. No adaptive learning, no spaced repetition, no native mobile app.
Pastest
Pastest covers some SCE Neurology content, primarily drawing from its MRCP neurology material. The overlap between MRCP and SCE neurology is partial — MRCP tests general neurology at a breadth that covers the basics, while the SCE tests specialist neurology at depth. Pastest's neurology content is reasonable for revision of foundational knowledge but may not reach the specialist depth required for topics like MS DMT selection, channelopathy management, or complex epilepsy pharmacotherapy.
iatroX
iatroX's SCE Neurology bank contains over 1,500 questions aligned to the JRCPTB Neurology curriculum and referencing ABN guidelines, NICE guidelines, EAN recommendations, ILAE classification, and DVLA fitness to drive rules.
DVLA questions are tagged separately so you can run focused sets on driving rules alone — this is particularly valuable because DVLA questions test precise factual recall (exact durations and conditions) rather than clinical reasoning, and they respond well to targeted practice.
The adaptive algorithm is especially useful for neurology because the curriculum has so many distinct subdisciplines. Candidates naturally gravitate toward their clinical strengths (usually stroke and epilepsy) at the expense of less familiar areas (neurogenetics, neuro-ophthalmology, clinical neurophysiology). The algorithm corrects this bias automatically.
All included at £29 per month or £99 per year.
The critical gap
StudyPRN's 503 questions for a curriculum this broad is the weakest per-topic coverage of any SCE specialty on their platform. For comparison, their Endocrinology bank has 888 questions. The Neurology gap creates a genuine quality-of-preparation concern — can 503 questions adequately cover epilepsy, stroke, MS, movement disorders, headache, neuromuscular disease, neurodegenerative conditions, DVLA rules, and the remaining topics?
iatroX's 1,500-question bank provides roughly three times the coverage, with adaptive selection ensuring all curriculum domains receive proportional attention. For a specialty where breadth is the primary challenge, more questions and smarter selection is a meaningful advantage.
