Cracking the Intercollegiate General Surgery FRCS Viva 2e: A Revision Guide

I congratulate the authors for putting together a book that covers most of the ever widening exam topics that a candidate can be asked about in the exams. The pattern and the subject matter is excellent and to the point. For an overseas candidate, this book has helped me to pass the exam. It gave me the key points and phrases for me to build my answers. I would recommend this book to the exit exam part -2 candidates particularly the non-training candidates.

I do have a fellowship in surgery from the RCS of Edinburgh as well as from the American Board of Surgery (a full disclosure). In my humble opinion, in many areas the information in this book is incomplete and not very new. Anyone trained in a good surgical program in USA would not need this book to take & pass FRCS from any colleges in UK. Thanks.

Very good content. Helped me ace my ST3 interviews and get a number first time around.

The newest edition of this book has everything you need for the FRCS exam. Being so recent it also has all the up to date evidence and covers a few topics that the old edition didn't. Highly recommended.

The book is well received and praised but the problem for me was that the book is printed in a very small font (Ten if I am correct) which makes very hard to read and very eye straining. I had to return my copy and I will purchase a digital copy. If they only consider a bigger font for the print, this will by much better. Thanks
