Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about using MCQMED.
Is MCQMED free?
Yes — MCQMED is 100% free. You can practise every question, see explanations, track progress, bookmark questions and compete on the leaderboard at no cost.
Who writes the questions?
They are modelled on past Final MBBS common MCQ papers and ERPM exams. Answers are reviewed by a team of doctors, and explanations are written to help you understand the reasoning.
What types of MCQ are there?
Two — Single Best Answer (SBA) and True/False. These are the two formats you face in your exams.
How is scoring done?
SBA: +5 for the correct answer, 0 otherwise. True/False: +1 for each statement you mark correctly, −1 for each one you get wrong, and a question never drops below 0. Marks count only the first time you answer a question, so the leaderboard reflects real knowledge rather than repetition.
Which subjects are covered?
Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Psychiatry and Obstetrics & Gynaecology, plus a separate postgraduate track for the ERPM selection exam. Questions are organised by topic so you can practise as soon as you've studied a topic.
Do all questions have explanations?
Most do, and we are continually adding and improving explanations and correcting answer keys. If you spot something wrong, use the Report button on the question and we'll review it.
Can I track my progress?
Yes. MCQMED tracks which questions you've seen and which you got wrong so you can redo your weak spots, and you can bookmark any question to revisit later.
Can I use it on mobile?
Yes — the site works on mobile, and there's an Android app too.
I found a wrong answer or explanation. What should I do?
Tap Report on the question, or contact us. We'll investigate and correct it as soon as possible.
