A.Candidates complete all stations from home without a venue

B.Candidates attend designated exam venues and stations are conducted by video conferencing

B.Six identical two-station tumour-site sessions

C.Tumour sites 1-3, tumour sites 4-6, tumour sites 7-8, tumour sites 9-10, communication and contouring

D.Communication first, then all tumour sites, then a written paper

Explanation: Candidate instructions group the 12 stations into six sessions across the three-day examination.

8How are CO2B stations marked?

A.Only one examiner marks each candidate after the exam

B.Computer scoring alone determines all station marks

C.Only the role player marks the communication station

D.Each station is double marked by two examiners using domains and a global judgement

Explanation: Official scoring guidance describes two independent examiners and station-level domain scoring.

9Which set lists the CO2B clinical skill domains?

A.Communication, clinical judgement, radiotherapy management, interpretation, patient-centred care and SACT management

B.Physics, statistics, pharmacology, anatomy, audit and law

C.Rapid reporting, long cases, viva, prescribing, surgery and discharge

D.Coding, histology, operations, leadership, finance and governance

Explanation: The scoring system lists applied clinical oncology domains including communication, radiotherapy, interpretation and SACT management.

10How are CO2B domain ratings converted after the examination?

A.They remain narrative comments only

B.They are converted to numerical scores from 0 to 3

C.They become a percentage generated by the role player

D.They are used only to rank venues rather than candidates

Explanation: RCR scoring guidance converts domain ratings such as fail/pass categories into numerical scores from 0 to 3.

About the FRCR Part 2B (Oncology) Exam

FRCR Part 2B (Oncology), the Final FRCR Part B examination, is a remote multi-station clinical oncology assessment. It evaluates tumour-site management, radiotherapy and SACT judgement, interpretation, communication, patient-centred care and contouring skills against the clinical oncology curriculum.

Assessment

The Final FRCR Part B Oncology exam consists of 12 assessment stations with clinical style questions. Ten are tumour-site stations, one is a communication station and one is a contouring station. Stations are grouped into six sessions and delivered remotely by video conferencing across three exam days.

Time Limit

Tumour-site stations usually last 5.5 minutes each. The communication station lasts 10 minutes with 2 minutes prior reading. The contouring station lasts 16 minutes: 12 minutes for contouring two or three slices and 4 minutes for standardised questions.

Passing Score

Borderline regression standard setting. RCR states station domain scores are regressed against global ratings to calculate station cut scores, and the overall pass mark is obtained by summing all 12 station cut scores.

FRCR Part 2B (Oncology) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practise concise 5.5-minute tumour-site presentations that state intent, staging, fitness, treatment plan, alternatives, toxicity and follow-up.

2Rehearse communication stations with role players, focusing on empathy, structure, patient concerns, avoiding jargon and checking understanding.

3Practise contouring GTV, CTV, ITV, PTV and organs at risk on CT/MRI/PET-CT examples while verbalising reasoning clearly.

4Prepare safe palliative radiotherapy decision frameworks: symptoms, prognosis, previous radiotherapy, organ-at-risk constraints, fractionation and patient preference.

5Use the clinical skill domains as a checklist after each practice station: communication, judgement, radiotherapy, interpretation, patient-centred care and SACT.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many stations are in FRCR Oncology Part 2B?

What domains are assessed?

The scoring system lists communication, clinical judgement, managing patients on radiotherapy, interpretation, patient-centred care, and managing patients receiving systemic anticancer therapies.

How is CO2B standard set?

RCR uses borderline regression: station scores are regressed against global ratings to calculate station cut scores, and these cut scores are summed for the overall pass mark.

Are these 100 practice questions the real CO2B format?

No. The real exam is station based. These are original SBA-style prompts designed to practise the clinical reasoning, communication and contouring decisions assessed in the stations.
