Yes — you can start a free trial to explore the platform and try the Section 1 SBA style before choosing a subscription plan.

What’s included in the FRCS (ORL-HNS) Section 1 subscription?

You get access to the Section 1 SBA question bank, timed practice, mock papers, performance analytics, and tools to flag and revisit weak areas. Your plan length determines how long you have access.

How do I choose the right plan length?

How should I use OtoPrep week-to-week for the fastest progress?

A simple loop works best: do short daily sets, review explanations, flag questions you’d miss again, then revisit flagged items regularly. Add timed blocks and mock papers as you get closer to the exam.

How do the analytics help my Section 1 revision?

Analytics show where you’re consistently dropping marks, so you can prioritise high-yield weak themes, track improvement over time, and avoid “random revision” that feels busy but doesn’t move your score.
