"As with the RANZCR Phase 1 examinations, typing skills are important, and improving your typing speed will essentially provide you with more time to complete the exam. One tip is to type, rather than dictate, a few of your reports during your day to day work."

"The four text boxes (findings, likely diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and further investigation and management) provide the structure for your answer, with subheadings not required; however subheadings may be useful when describing findings for multiple modalities in a single text box, e.g. x-ray, CT, MRI, etc. Bullet points are generally advocated, especially when describing the findings (which tends to be the "longest" of the answers and generates the most marks). Common abbreviations are generally accepted. In some long cases, there is no differential, in which case the differential diagnosis box is not included. All modality techniques, phases, and sequences are listed."
"There is no negative marking, normal cases, or "instant fail" cases."
"There are seven topic areas covered in the examination with the following approximate weightings:"
