The MRCP Dermatology SCE is one of the most challenging dermatology examinations. It requires problem-solving skills very different to those honed during residency, at least, in India. Uncommon diseases and the diagnostic approaches to such diseases assume importance when preparing for the exam. Finding good preparatory material can also be challenging since questions cannot be published or disseminated in any form. This is where StudyPRN comes in, an extremely handy resource with questions reflective of the style and difficulty of the real exam. I came across StudyPRN when seeking guidance from my seniors who had passed this examination. I can say without a doubt that StudyPRN has moulded me into thinking the SCE way! The questions, explanations, and reference material have been carefully prepared by the authors and editorial team, who rigorously vet each question to ensure they live up to the highest standards. It is chiefly due to this invaluable resource that I was able to clear the Dermatology SCE on my first attempt with a score of 673. I recommend StudyPRN to all aspirants preparing for this examination. Not only does it enable the examinee to answer its questions with aplomb, but it also spurs one to study and research more.
