Important Information About Changes to Your Performance Data
We are pleased to announce the launch of the updated Primary FRCA (MCQ) textbook, alongside a new question categorisation system designed to better reflect the structure and emphasis of the current FRCA examination.
As part of this update, questions have been reorganised into revised subject categories. This change is intended to improve alignment with the exam blueprint and enhance your revision experience.
What Is Changing?
Previous Categories
Pharmacology
Physiology & Biochemistry
Physics, Clinical Measurement & Data Interpretation
New Categories
Clinical and Anatomy
Equipment
Pharmacology
Physics and Maths
Physiology
Three previous categories have now become five more clearly defined subject areas. Some topics have been redistributed to better match how content is tested in the FRCA exam.
What This Means for Previous Users
Because questions have been reassigned to new categories:
Your historical performance data may appear different.
Performance trends within individual categories may change.
Some questions you previously completed may now sit in a different subject area.
Category-level statistics may not directly match your previous breakdown.
Your overall progress and question history remain intact. However, subject-level analytics may shift as questions are redistributed under the new structure.
This change reflects improved alignment with the current exam format rather than a change in your underlying ability or performance.
Why We’ve Made This Change
The updated categorisation:
Better reflects the current FRCA exam structure
Separates clinically focused material from core science topics
Clarifies distinctions between equipment, physics, and mathematics
Enhances targeted revision and performance tracking

We hope you enjoy using the updated FRCA textbook and enhanced categorisation system to support your preparation.
