A 72-year-old man presents with acute onset of left-sided weakness. CT head shows a right MCA territory ischaemic infarct with early signs of oedema at 48 hours. He is now drowsy with a GCS of 10. CT shows midline shift of 8 mm. His NIHSS is 22. What surgical intervention may improve survival?
Why iatroX is built differently for SCE Neurology.
Every iatroX item is tagged to a blueprint topic, so your performance dashboard mirrors the structure of the exam itself.
The engine surfaces your weakest topics first, in real time, instead of marching you through a static syllabus.
Incorrect items return at increasing intervals to interrupt the forgetting curve and lock knowledge into long-term memory.
Timed full-length simulations that mirror the official exam structure under realistic conditions.
One iatroX subscription includes the SCE Neurology bank plus every other premium iatroX exam bank.

The Federation publishes the exact number of questions per topic before each sitting. Subspecialties are not equally weighted — stroke, epilepsy and MS together typically account for over a third of the paper.
Historically the SCE Neurology pass rate sat around 80%, although the standard was raised in September 2022. Per-year figures are published in the Federation's annual performance report.
Anyone holding MRCP(UK) or occupying a UK training post. For post-2007 neurology specialty trainees, passing the SCE is a precondition for obtaining a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT).
The historical published fee is £700 for UK candidates and £875 for overseas candidates. The current fee is set annually by the MRCP(UK) Management Board.
Yes. A single iatroX subscription includes the SCE Neurology bank alongside every other premium iatroX exam bank.
