Welcome to the Basic Neurology MCQ Woodpecker Method.
This course uses the Woodpecker Method, a structured approach to learning that combines initial understanding with deliberate repetition to build speed and pattern recognition.
You will move through seven rounds of the same core question bank.
- Round 1 is the learning phase, where you slow down, think carefully, and use the explanations to build a clear neurological framework.
- Rounds 2–4 focus on reinforcing those patterns through repeated retrieval, with progressively less time.
- Rounds 5–7 introduce randomisation and time pressure, training rapid discrimination and exam-ready decision-making.
Each round is deliberately harder than the last as we slowly reduce the time you have to get through the questions. The aim is not comfort, but fluency. By the final round, answers should feel immediate.
Trust the process. Read the short explanation at the start of each round, then focus on the questions. It is intended to be completed over approximately one week, with multiple passes through the question bank, each designed to strengthen retrieval, improve speed, and sharpen exam-ready thinking.
Once you complete the 7 rounds, the final exam will become available (10 questions). This will accessible from the 25th of January, to make sure you have enough time to get through the 7 rounds.
Work through the course as intended, trust the process, and use the explanations to refine your frameworks rather than relearn content from scratch.
