Free · updated to WHO 6th edition
Practise questions, free.
Open question banks across organ systems and subspecialties, written by practising pathologists. Start with real cases on whole slides you pan and zoom like a microscope, try ten quick board-style MCQs, then work through the banks and find your gaps.
Start with a virtual slide
Read the case, look at the slide, choose your answer. Some cases have more than one slide, such as an H&E with its IHC or special stain: switch between them with the tabs.
That’s four slides. The courses have many more.
Virtual slide questions run through the FRCPath, NEET-SS and hematopathology tracks, alongside high-yield, image-based MCQs and full-length mocks.
Ten board-style questions
One question from each of ten areas, the way FRCPath, NEET-SS and board papers ask them. Every answer explains why the other options are wrong.
That’s ten. Ready for a full bank?

Each bank links to related posts, so you can read up on whatever trips you.
CNS Tumours
Gliomas, embryonal tumours and meningiomas under WHO CNS5, with the molecular markers that now define them.
Head & Neck Pathology
Salivary, sinonasal, oral and laryngeal tumours under WHO 5th edition, with their fusions and HPV and EBV testing.
Thoracic Pathology
Lung adenocarcinoma grading, predictive markers, mesothelioma and thymic tumours.
Soft Tissue & Bone Tumours
WHO 6th edition entities, fusion-driven sarcomas and the benign lesions they are most often mistaken for.
GI Pathology
WHO 6th edition digestive tumours: new entities, two-tier grading, neuroendocrine neoplasms and biomarkers.
Renal Pathology
Glomerular disease patterns and renal tumour subtypes, including the molecularly defined entities.
Skin Pathology
Inflammatory patterns, melanocytic lesions and the adnexal tumours that reliably catch people out.
Endocrine Pathology
Thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and neuroendocrine lesions, with the grading systems examiners expect.
Gynaecological Pathology
Vulva, cervix, endometrium and ovary under WHO 6th edition, with FIGO 2023 molecular staging.
Cytopathology Reporting
Bethesda, Paris, Milan and Yokohama reporting systems, with the difficult calls worked through.
Hematopathology MCQs
WHO-HAEM5 myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms, the defining genetics and where the ICC differs.
Histotechniques
Fixation, processing, staining and troubleshooting: the section most candidates skip and then lose marks on.
Molecular Pathology
PCR, FISH, NGS, MSI and TMB: which assay actually answers the clinical question.
General Pathology (Robbins)
Cell injury, inflammation, haemodynamics and neoplasia: the foundation MD/DNB and board papers build their questions from.
These are the free ones. The courses go further.
