FRCR Part 1 Study Plan: 12 Weeks to the First FRCR Exam

This adaptable 12-week First FRCR revision plan balances visual recall for Anatomy with applied understanding for Physics.

Weeks 1 to 3: build foundations

Work systematically through radiological anatomy by body region and establish the underlying Physics principles for radiation, image formation, safety and the major modalities.

Weeks 4 to 9: active recall and mixed practice

Start image questions and Physics MCQs early, keep a concise error log, revisit weak topics and gradually combine body regions, modalities and Physics subjects.

Weeks 10 to 12: exam rehearsal

Complete full timed practice, classify errors by cause and focus final revision on recurring weaknesses rather than collecting new resources.
