Introduction

The RACGP Fellowship exams assess a candidate’s competency for unsupervised 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 includes 150 multiple-choice questions.
• Key Feature Problem (KFP) – designed to assess clinical decision making and clinical reasoning in practice. The KFP includes 70 individual multi-selection questions, each unrelated to any of the others.
• 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.

For more information about each exam, including format, preparation, development, standard setting and results, refer to the AKT and KFP guide and Candidate guidelines for the Clinical Competency Exam.
