This book was written to overcome the difficulties faced by medical students since the Single Best Answer Question pattern was introduced to the medical curriculum globally.
The first edition was produced to help the students understand the style and the method of answering SBA questions as hitherto there was a dearth of standard model question paper books. It contains the relevant clinical principles and knowledge required to answer SBA questions and detailed explanations for the answers. The first edition had unprecedented large sales and the author was invited to write the second edition after two years. The second edition has 103 more questions and 3 more chapters. It contains a very readable summary of all the recent knowledge which has been put forward by the RCOG,FIGO and other academic institutions globally. Though the emphasis of the book is mainly on undergraduates, the second edition covers most of the knowledge required for the MD and MRCOG examinations in a concise manner. The chapters and areas which are more suitable for postgraduate students have been indicated.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
