Written to the RCGP’s published case blueprint by a GP who sat this exam. Under the presenting complaint sits a structure you have to uncover: a hidden agenda, cues you can miss, a discriminating feature that separates the right answer from the merely plausible one, and the psychosocial context that changes the plan. Built from named national guidance and checked line by line before it goes live.
You have twelve minutes, exam length. The case’s answers are held on our servers, out of the patient’s reach, and they unlock when you ask well: any competently asked question, no magic words. Ask for an exact dose or a test result and they’ll say they’re not sure, the way a real person would. A patient with low mood sounds flat and quiet. And they never invent a symptom, a pregnancy or a risk that isn’t in the case, so everything you’re marked on was really there.
Graded against the standard the exam itself uses: a newly qualified GP, safe to practise independently. Each domain is judged on its own terms: what you gathered and what you made of it, whether your management was concrete and safe, and how you related to the person in front of you. It credits only what you actually said, never penalises a cue the patient didn’t offer, and runs checks on your consulting you wouldn’t think to run on yourself. At the end you get your grade in each domain, your critical misses, the three things to fix first, and words to try next time. Accent, dialect and mishears are never marked.
