PassGP RACGP

Use exam-specific practice for each RACGP Fellowship assessment:

• Applied Knowledge Test (AKT): Revise broad applied clinical knowledge across general practice.
• Key Feature Problems (KFP): Practise clinical reasoning, prioritisation and decision-making in clinical scenarios.
• Clinical Competency Exam (CCE): Rehearse communication, consultation structure and safe, patient-centred care under pressure.

Support this work with question banks, full-length mock exams, structured teaching on exam technique, examiner-led walkthroughs and targeted revision tools such as flashcards. Review how you answer as well as what you know.

PassGP provides one of the most comprehensive RACGP Fellowship preparation platforms in Australia, designed by a former RACGP Chief Examiner.

The platform includes:

• 2,795 examiner-style AKT questions aligned to the RACGP curriculum
• 1,395 KFP multiple-selection questions with detailed reasoning and marking guidance
• 1,500 CCE questions across 500 cases with model answers, consultation structure, and examiner scoring cues
• Fourteen full-length RACGP mock exams across AKT, KFP, and CCE formats
• Unlimited small group teaching tutorials led by experienced educators
• Recorded podcast lessons for flexible, on-the-go revision
• 500+ high-yield flashcards covering core general practice topics
• Video masterclasses on AKT technique, KFP reasoning, and CCE communication
• AI-powered learning tools and adaptive question banks
• Advanced question banks for higher-difficulty exam preparation
• Performance analytics to track progress and identify weak areas
• Bespoke one-to-one teaching, coaching, and mentoring
• Mock exams with personalised examiner feedback

These resources are designed to replicate the style, difficulty, and expectations of real RACGP Fellowship exams, helping candidates develop safe, structured, and exam-ready clinical reasoning.

Many candidates fail the RACGP exams not because of a lack of knowledge, but because they do not apply their knowledge in the way examiners expect.

Each exam has specific failure patterns:

AKT:

• Over-interpreting questions and choosing overly complex answers
• Selecting reasonable options rather than the single most defensible answer
• Escalating unnecessarily instead of managing safely in general practice
• Missing subtle clues or pivot words within the question

KFP:

• Providing vague or non-specific answers instead of clear, actionable steps
• Failing to prioritise or sequence management correctly
• Missing key decision points or red flags
• Not matching expected examiner wording

CCE:

• Failing to verbalise clinical reasoning clearly
• Missing early red flags in the consultation
• Poor structure or disorganised consultation flow
• Inadequate safety-netting or risk discussion

Across all exams, the common issue is the same - candidates know the content but do not translate it into structured, exam-ready answers.

Success comes from understanding how examiners think, how marks are awarded, and how to consistently demonstrate safe, structured clinical reasoning.

Most candidates study for approximately 12 to 24 weeks for each of the AKT, KFP, and CCE exams, depending on their baseline knowledge and clinical experience.

Adjust your plan to the exam you are sitting, your available study hours and the gaps identified in practice. An illustrative 12-week sequence is:

• Weeks 1-4: Build core knowledge with flashcards and systematic topic review while beginning daily question bank practice. For CCE preparation, include consultation and communication rehearsal.
• Weeks 5-8: For AKT and KFP, increase timed question practice and use advanced question banks to refine technique and pattern recognition. For CCE, focus on structured consultation practice.
• Weeks 9-10: Complete full-length mock exams under timed conditions and use performance analytics to identify weak areas and gaps.
• Weeks 11-12: Target weak areas, rehearse structured approaches, consolidate flashcards and refine your exam strategy.

Use small group tutorials and podcast learning to reinforce topics, and continue CCE communication practice when preparing for that exam.
