WACP Postgraduate MD Examination Past Questions and Answers
Are you a medical resident preparing for the West African College of Physicians (WACP) Membership or Fellowship examinations? Whether you are sitting for the Primary CBT, the Part I (Membership), or the Part II (Fellowship) MD examinations, success depends on more than just clinical knowledge—it requires mastering the “College pattern.”
With the 2026/2027 examination cycles approaching, the competition is fiercer than ever. To help you navigate the rigors of the Internal Medicine, Paediatrics, Family Medicine, Community Health, Laboratory Medicine, or Psychiatry faculties, we provide the comprehensive WACP Postgraduate MD Past Questions and Answers PDF.
Why Study WACP Past Questions?
The WACP examinations are designed to test high-level clinical judgment and the application of medical science in the West African context. Firstly, practicing with past papers helps you understand the CBT (Computer-Based Test) logic used in the Primary and Membership screening stages. Secondly, it prepares you for the OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) and PACES (Practical Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills) by showing you recurring clinical scenarios.
Thirdly, and most importantly, active recall through past question testing is proven to boost memory retention by up to 90%. In conclusion, these past questions are not just “old exams”—they are a blueprint for your success.
The 2026 WACP Examination Structure
The WACP examination is a multi-stage process that varies by faculty but generally follows this path:
-
Primary Examination: A 200-question CBT consisting of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) with single best answers. It covers basic sciences relevant to your chosen faculty.
-
Membership (Part I): Includes a CBT Screening and, for successful candidates, a Clinical/Practical stage involving OSCEs, Picture Tests, and Orals.
-
Fellowship (Part II/MD): Focuses on the Defence of Dissertation/Case Books and a Subspecialty/General Viva.
