The IQE part A online learning courses was designed and
tailored to help overseas dentists prepare for the International Qualifying Examination.

We understand what it is like to be in a foreign country and how difficult it can be to study on your own.

We want to help you to pass the IQE by making studying easy and by being your online helping hand.

It is important to keep in mind that the IQE is not a national exam - meaning that there are several centres that offer the exam, and each centre has its own preferred questions.

Our tests will broaden your knowledge based on IQE content, and therefore prepare you for the exam wherever you may chose to sit it.In order to succeed in the exam you will need to cover a lot of information. Our tests designed to help focus your attention on the most important topics in the IQE Part A syllabus including General Medicine, Anatomy, General Dentistry, Microbiology, Human Diseases, Physiology, Pharmacology, Radiology, Histology, Cross-infection control, Emergency, etc.  which will help you pass the International Qualifying Examination.

 

We are delighted to announce that the MRCF group has approved our Website. As a result of this we now offer the new IQE Part A "FEEL THE PRESSURE " test. More >>>>

The "IQE Part A ONLINE LEARNING and ADDITIONAL TESTS " offer you a unique opportunity to learn more effectively and quickly than more traditional learning approaches. More >>>>

We offer two different types of IQE Part A tests: "FEEL THE PRESSURE TEST" and Learning Tests.

"FEEL THE PRESSURE TEST"

The format is multiple choice and "fill in the answer"  questions (as in exam).
You should answer 200 questions whilst a clock counts down in real time. This test simulates the feelings of the real exam and helps you to improve your ability to concentrate under pressure for 3 hours. You are given your score and all the correct answers after you have answered all the questions, so you can learn from your mistakes and find out where your knowledge is lacking.

LEARNING TESTS AND COMPLIMENTARY BONUS TESTS

We offer 41 tests of 20-30 questions each, with more to be added shortly.
The format is multiple questions with self-scoring.
You give yourself a score out of 10 for your answer to each question after comparing it with the ideal answer.
At the end of each test you are informed of the maximum possible score and your percentage score.
To pass the real test you need to score at least 75-85% in every test.
We believe repetition is the key to memory, so you can do each tests 3 times, thus helping to actively learn from the questions.

BONUS TESTS

Please accept our offer of the bonus tests with our compliments as part of our learning test!
Check your knowledge by using multiple choice questions which have one right answer, multiple choice questions which have two or more right answers and “Fill in the blank” questions (not case sensitive, but the right spelling is required). There are 20 tests, each of which consists of 20-30 questions. These tests do not show the correct answers, but you get a score at the end of the each test.
These tests will help you to acquire new learning skills and develop those you have already acquired.

IQE Part A is composed of 4 exams in total: two written papers and two oral exams.

Written examination:

The written examination will now be taken on computers at an examination centre on the same day. Each paper consists of 20 questions with 10 subquestions (200 in total) and lasts 3 hours. The exam tests on clinically applied dental science and clinically applied human disease. Paper 1-clinially applied dental science-will cover biometry, oral biology, behavioural sciences, dental biomaterials science, dental radiology and imaging.Paper 2-clinically applied human disease-will cover pathology, medical microbiology, oral microbiology, medicine, surgery, pharmacology and therapeutics, accident and emergency medicine and the principles of medical emergencies.
An invigilator will be present during the written examinations.The two written papers, each lasting three hours, will normally be held on the first day.
- Written papers will take the form of multiple- short answer question (MSAs) and there will be a balance of questions covering the various subjects within each paper. Other types of questions also possible.
- An MSA comprises sharply focused questions to which succinct answers are required. MSA questions can take several forms such as list, scenario or diagram.
- Candidates should attempt all questions and divide their time equally, noting that less than a minute has been allowed for each. Where several answers are required to a question, they will be of equal weighting unless specific advice has been given to the contrary.
- Any answers beyond those required will be disregarded.
- Marks will not be deducted for incorrect answers.

Oral examination:

There will be two separate oral examinations, each lasting 15 minutes. One oral examination will be on clinically applied dental science. The other oral examination will cover clinically applied human disease. Two examiners and often an invigilator from the GDC are present.

Each individual exam section is given a grade out of 5.
1 = non compensatable fail;
2 = compensatable fail;
3 = pass;
4 = very good;
5 = excellent.

The following case scenarios should help you understand the grading system, especially what you can compensate for:
If you get 1 in one section of the exam you fail, even if you have full marks in all the others! However, if you get 2 in the written part for clinically applied dental science, you can compensate and still pass if you get 4 or 5 in the corresponding oral for clinically applied dental science. Please remember the compensation is in the corresponding oral exam only. Obviously you pass if you get 3 or more for all 4 parts.
