Built for focused MRCPCH preparation.
Designed to help you think.
PaedsMentor was created to fill a straightforward gap: paediatric trainees needed a large, well-structured MCQ resource that reflects the real exam — without unnecessary complexity. We believe reasoning is more durable than memorisation, and everything here is built around that idea.
Paediatric Mentor was founded because too many trainees preparing for the MRCPCH theory exams have too little understanding of the exam's structure, and face too much noise about how to prepare for it.
The focus of this portal is not to keep revising previous exam recall questions, but to learn how to think, using original, structured theory questions.
Knowledge gained from reasoning leaves a deeper impression than facts that are simply memorised.
A consistent and deliberate practice routine helps not just to pass exams, but to become a better paediatrician.

The question bank covers all three MRCPCH theory papers — Foundations of Practice (FOP), Theory and Science (TAS), and Applied Knowledge in Practice (AKP) — structured around the 26 official RCPCH system categories.
Questions are written and reviewed with reference to current MRCPCH guidelines.
Every question tests applied understanding rather than rote recall. The aim is not familiarity with question stems — it is a trainee who thinks clearly when it counts.
Whether you are starting early or fine-tuning before a sitting, the focus here is on efficient, exam-relevant practice at every stage.
Clarity over volume
High-yield questions that help you identify gaps quickly, not an overwhelming bank padded for its own sake.
Practice over passivity
Active revision builds durable knowledge. Reading notes is not the same as answering questions under pressure.
Reasoning over recall
Every explanation focuses on the why — the key clue, the decision step, the bias to avoid. We write in a calm, ward-round tone.
