The costs of not passing the fellowship exam extend beyond the immediate financial and emotional impacts. This is even more true for IMGs who face significant harship if they are unable to celar the exams. These include:
1. Financial Loss
The potential financial loss can amount to approximately $60,000, which includes not only the re-examination fees but also the reduced income due to the delayed transition from GP trainee to a fully accredited GP. This delay in achieving fellowship status can prevent you from earning at the full potential of a fully-qualified GP, as trainees typically earn less than their fellowed counterparts.
2. Career Delays
An additional 6 months spent as a GP trainee can significantly postpone your career advancement. This delay not only affects your earning potential but also limits your ability to take on more complex cases, develop further clinical expertise, and contribute more effectively to your practice and community.
3. Emotional and Mental Toll
The emotional stress of retaking exams can be substantial. The frustration and disappointment of having to repeat the exam can lead to feelings of discouragement and anxiety. This can also affect personal well-being, potentially leading to burnout and increased pressure as you strive to balance work, study, and family commitments.
4. Missed Professional Opportunities
While delayed qualification can hinder your earnings, it may also reduce access to higher-level professional opportunities, including leadership positions, teaching roles, and specialized training that are available only to fully qualified GPs. The time spent waiting for re-examination can limit your ability to pursue these opportunities.
5. Long-Term Impact on Career Trajectory
Continual setbacks in passing the fellowship exam can have a long-term effect on your career trajectory. Delays can affect your professional reputation and influence how peers, patients, and employers view your qualifications and career progression.
In summary, failing to pass the fellowship exam can lead to significant financial loss, delayed career progression, emotional stress, and missed professional opportunities—all of which underscore the importance of thorough, focused preparation for this pivotal examination.

Dr. Lee sees a 45-year-old woman, Ms. Carter, who has recently developed a thickened, warty appearance on her lower leg. She reports that the swelling has progressively worsened over the past 6 months and that her leg feels heavy and swollen, with no pitting. The Stemmer sign test is positive. What is the most appropriate management for this condition?
Apply graduated compression bandages and use appropriate wound dressings.
Question Explanation:
Graduated compression bandages are crucial in managing lymphoedema, as they help reduce swelling and improve lymphatic drainage. Differential diagnoses include venous ulcers (which often have a different appearance and location), diabetic ulcers (typically on weight-bearing areas), pressure ulcers (from prolonged immobility), and arterial ulcers (which are usually painful and on the toes). Corticosteroids, biopsy, antibiotics, and antifungals are not primary treatments for lymphoedema.
A 23-year-old man presents to his GP with a range of difficulties, including depression, binge drinking, smoking, occasional drug use, and problems with anger management. He is about to become homeless as his girlfriend has asked him to leave. The patient has been diagnosed with moderately severe depression and scores 17 out of 27 on the PHQ-9. He binge drinks, smokes cigarettes, and occasionally uses cannabis and cocaine.The patient expresses a desire to stop binge drinking but is not yet ready to quit smoking. What is the most appropriate way to address his alcohol use?
Refer him to the community drug and alcohol service for counseling and support
Question Explanation:
Referring him to the community drug and alcohol service is appropriate, as they can provide specialized counseling and support to help him reduce or quit alcohol use, which is crucial for his overall mental health and stability. Differential diagnoses include alcohol use disorder, nicotine dependence, depression with comorbid substance use, anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder, adjustment disorder, and social anxiety disorder.
A 6-year-old boy is brought back to the GP by his mother, following a visit a week ago for an acute, widespread rash. At that time, the rash was diagnosed as allergic, with no specific trigger identified, and he was treated with an antihistamine. His mother reports no improvement and notes that he has been playing a lot in the garden due to unseasonably warm weather, but he has no history of hay fever, asthma, or eczema. He hasn’t eaten anything unusual or changed his soap or detergent. No one else in the family or their social circle has a similar rash, and he has no other symptoms, although the rash is slightly itchy.
The boy appears well and has no fever. The rash covers his trunk and, to a lesser extent, his limbs. It consists of oval patches, 1–3 cm in size, some with mild scaling along their edges, and seems to follow the skin creases. His mother recalls that one of the patches appeared on his chest about 5 days before the rash spread. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Tinea corporis
Question Explanation:
Pityriasis rosea is the most likely diagnosis given the patient's history of a herald patch and the appearance of the rash. Tinea corporis is a fungal infection that typically presents with a red, scaly rash with a clear center. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is characterized by red, scaly patches of skin. Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is often associated with allergies and asthma. Drug eruption is a rash caused by an allergic reaction to a medication.

The GPInstitute practice exams are designed to be at or slightly above the difficulty level of the actual Fellowship exams. This helps candidates thoroughly prepare and build confidence for the exam day. Our detailed explanations break down the reasoning behind each question-and-answer option. We do not over burden the learning process with very basic information. We aim to upskill your technique in answering the Questions.
Our question banks are curated and carefully written by past National Chief Examiners who have written real Qs before. Practicing our Mocks include all the recent and past exam Qs which will get you 30-40% of the marks in your pocket even before you sit the exam. Our only aim to make you pass the exam by covering all the Domains and the Core Competencies. We have extensively covered the majority of the RACGP recommended texts, CHECKS, AJGP, Therapeutics Guidelines and journals. All High Yield Topics are included in our Mock and Practice exams.
Our full-length mock practice exams consist of questions matching the format of the real exam.
Depending on the fellowship exam component you are taking, we offer the highest quality and quantity of the mock exams. AKT 24 mocks, KFP 12 mocks, ACRRM MCQs > 20 mocks. Our members who score 60-65% in our mocks easily pass the real exams. Our practice exams will consist of same number of Questions in each of the mock exam just like the real exams.
While exact pass marks vary, we recommend aiming for a score of 60- 65% or higher on our practice exams to be well-prepared for the actual exams. Reviewing explanations for incorrect answers is key to improving your score. The higher the better.
No, we are proud to offer maximum value to our trainees. We offer more for 6 months than what others offer for 3 months at a better price. How good is that! We offer subscriptions for 9, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 month to choose from. We highly recommend a minimum of 6 months subscription.
Whilst there is no difference between the types of questions in the exams for overseas trainees, we are more than happy to mentor and counsel overseas trainees if needed.
