FRCR 2B mock viva and exam prep, 1 to 1.
Online FRCR 2B viva practice with senior consultant tutors.
Honest feedback on what is costing you marks.
Most candidates who fail know enough radiology to pass.
Knowledge is rarely the problem. Viva technique almost always is.
Pass rate for candidates sitting outside the UK, in many sittings
Global pass rate in the tougher sittings
The exam fee alone is over HK$6,000 per attempt. A failed sitting delays consultant-level progression by 6 months or more.
Most candidates who fail can identify the pathology. They lose marks structuring an answer under pressure, managing time across cases, and holding their composure when a case does not go to plan.
Where FRCR 2B candidates lose marks in the viva.
Five mistakes that came up again and again on the panel. Every FRCR 2B viva practice lesson works on them.
A slow start.
Candidates who take too long to open lose the examiner early. You practise a clear opening line in the first 10 seconds of every case.
Describing everything, committing to nothing.
A long list of findings with no diagnosis scores poorly. Your tutor pushes you to reach a diagnosis and a sensible differential, then defend it.
Folding when the examiner pushes back.
Examiners challenge correct answers too. Your tutor pushes back the way a real examiner does, so you practise holding your answer, or changing it for a good reason.
Running out of time on the last case.
Too long on the early cases costs marks on the 5th. Every section runs at real exam pacing, and your score sheet shows where the time went.
Forgetting management and safety.
Clinical safety and management is one of the 5 marked domains. You practise closing each case with what happens next for the patient.
You cannot learn this from a textbook or a question bank. You learn it by doing it under exam conditions, with a tutor who tells you exactly where you lost marks and why.

The things FRCR 2B candidates usually ask first.
If you have a question that is not here, message us on WhatsApp and we will answer it.
Is the lesson in person or online?
Lessons run online by video call, with cases shared from your tutor's screen. This makes the time-zone logistics workable for candidates in the UK, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, or anywhere else.
I'm in the UK or India. What time are the lessons?
We agree a time with you when you book, around your shifts. Your tutor is in Hong Kong, which is 8 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 7 in summer, 2.5 hours ahead of India and 3 hours ahead of Pakistan.
How close to the format is it really?
The pacing, structure, number of cases and grading criteria match the real exam. Each case is scored across the same 5 domains the exam panel uses, on the same scale. We do not use any RCR exam content. Our coaching has no official affiliation with the RCR or HKCR.
When do I get the feedback?
Immediate feedback after every section on what cost you marks and what to fix. A written score sheet at the end, grading each case across the exam's 5 domains with specific comments. You leave knowing exactly which areas are costing you marks.
What if my sitting is deferred or I have to cancel?
Cancellations more than 48 hours before a lesson move to a future date with full credit. Inside 48 hours, the lesson is forfeit. No refunds after a lesson has been delivered.
Are the lessons confidential?
Yes. Lessons are not recorded. Feedback is private to you, and not shared with your training programme or anyone else.
Has the exam format changed recently?
The RCR introduced changes to the FRCR 2B from mid-2025. The oral is now 12 cases across 2 sessions, taken on the risr/assess platform at a test centre. Our lessons are structured to match the current format. If you have questions about what has changed, raise it when we speak and your tutor will walk you through what matters for your preparation.
When is the next oral sitting?
The RCR has set the 2027 oral weeks as starting 25 January, 12 April, 21 June and 4 October. Confirm your own date on the RCR website.
How is this different from a group FRCR 2B viva course?
Group courses cover knowledge efficiently but cannot put you under exam pressure individually or grade your cases one by one. This is 1 to 1. You leave with a written score sheet across 5 domains. Not a room of 30 people.
Should I book one lesson or five?
One lesson suits you if your sitting is close and you want a focused assessment. Five suit you if you are preparing over several weeks or resitting. Each lesson builds on the last, and your tutor picks cases that target the weaknesses on your earlier score sheets.
What happens in the free trial?
You get a 30 minute viva at real exam pacing, then feedback on what is costing you marks. It shows you how a full lesson runs before you pay for one. There is one free trial per candidate, booked on WhatsApp.
