Overview

The RACGP Fellowship exams assess your competency for unsupervised comprehensive general practice anywhere in Australia. There are three Fellowship exams and each has a unique and targeted approach to assessing a candidate’s knowledge and ability.

• Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) – designed to test the application of knowledge in the clinical context of Australian general practice. The AKT comprises 150 multiple-choice questions.
• Key Feature Problem (KFP) – designed to assess clinical decision-making and clinical reasoning in practice. The KFP comprises 70 individual multi-selection questions.
• Clinical Competency Exam (CCE) – online assessment by multiple examiners across nine clinical cases. Four discussions with an examiner and five clinical encounters, where candidates interact with a role player as the examiner observes.

Refer to the Assessments and examinations candidate handbook for more information.

For more information about the AKT and KFP and to see example questions, refer to the AKT and KFP guide.

You’ll need to pass both the AKT and KFP before sitting the CCE. For more information about the CCE, refer to the Guidelines for the clinical competency exam.
