Dr MCQ

Dr MCQ includes three 90-minute timed mock exams, each consisting of 60 questions, and one four hour timed mock exam, consisting of 150 questions. Questions include single best answer and extended matching types, plus correct answers, explanations and references.

We use Australian references where available and utilise free open access resources where possible. The two exceptions to this are: Therapeutic Guidelines and the Australian Medicines Handbook. While these require a paid subscription to access, we highly recommend you arrange access to these resources as they contain the most up to date and appropriate treatment guidelines for Australian general practice.

Access to a pool of over 800 questions and build your own quizzes from any number of questions and clinical topics. You can also choose whether you want the quiz to be timed or untimed. Correct answers, explanations and references are provided for all questions.

Tailored dashboards containing analysis of your Dr MCQ timed mock exam attempts and your performance benchmarked against our research group cohort will indicate your likelihood of passing the real AKT/MCQ exam and help identify knowledge gaps.

Personalised exam coaching through two 60-minute sessions with our Performance Coach, a qualified organisational psychologist, to help you address areas such as motivation, self-confidence, procrastination, work/life/study balance or exam anxiety.

Dr MCQ contains an Emergency and Rural Health question category specifically developed for ACRRM and rural registrars. The Quiz Builder function includes the option to only include questions that are consistent with those in the ACRRM MCQ Exam in the ACRRM format: single best answer with clinical stem and 4 answer options.

Dr MCQ questions typically contain 5 answer options which is consistent with the format of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) General Practice Education Programme (GPEP) Written Examination. The Quiz Builder function enables candidates to create quizzes containing 80 and 160 questions and set an average time limit of 1.5 minutes per question to match the timing of the real exam. Dr MCQ is mapped to the RACGP curriculum – some questions may not be entirely relevant to a NZ context.

The format of the Dr MCQ questions is equivalent to those in the AMC exam. There may be some areas outside the scope of general practice that do not feature heavily in Dr MCQ but may appear in the AMC exam, such as surgery or anaesthetics. However, Dr MCQ is still a great exam preparation resource to test knowledge across all areas of general practice, identify knowledge gaps, and assist with study through customisable quizzes, practice questions and mock exams.

Dr MCQ is mapped to the RACGP curriculum and covers a good range of topics to prepare for the Knowledge Test question component of the Candidate Assessment and Applied Knowledge Test (CAAKT). Dr MCQ is targeted at candidates preparing to sit fellowship exams and the level of difficulty for CAAKT candidates will be slightly higher. Therefore, candidates who do well in Dr MCQ will likely be comfortable sitting the Knowledge Test portion of the CAAKT. Dr MCQ does not contain Situational Judgement Test questions – candidates will need to prepare for this portion of the CAAKT separately.
