I passed the problem solving paper in 2015 and finally the viva &
clinical part in September, 2016 in Delhi.
These exams are not quite easy as they used to be. They took some
time for preparation. It doesnt matter the text you study from as long as
you are familiar with it and can review it quickly and efficiently before
the exam. I studied from the same books I used for my master
examinations. I used John Ferris for MCQ for the basic sciences &
Chua MCQ for the CS exam. I studied optics from Elkington. I
studied for the CS from Oxford handbook of ophthalmology.
Problem solving paper FRCS part 2 (2015):
I cant remember the rest of them but these were the tricky ones. The
questions were mostly repeated from past candidates experience found
on Chua website.
Part 3 FRCS:
I prepared for 4 months for this exam and passed. I studied from
Oxford hand book of ophthalmology, OHB of internal medicine,
Kanski and Wongs ophthalmology examinations review. The
questions are not usually tricky. Some of my colleagues said that the
questions were typically from FRCS (ophthalmology) cakewalk. The
exam basically assesses your day to day experience and skills as a
general ophthalmologist, no more, no less.

Here the method of examination is the important thing. How you
do it and how fluent you are. You have to show them that you do these
tests on a daily basis. Thats why it is all about practice, practice,
practice and you will PASS!!
