Final FRCA Sample Materials
This page provides sample materials to support candidates preparing for the new Final FRCA examination formats, subject to GMC approval. It brings together resources for the Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) and the Final Clinical Performance Examination (FCPE), helping candidates, trainers and departments understand the format of the new assessments and how best to prepare.
Final FRCA Applied Knowledge Test (AKT)
Sample questions are available to help candidates familiarise themselves with the style, structure and level of the new Final FRCA Applied Knowledge Test.
These materials are intended to support preparation by showing how questions may be presented in the new format. Candidates should use them alongside the curriculum, official examination guidance and their broader preparation for the Final FRCA.
Final Clinical Performance Examination (FCPE)
Sample materials for the Final Clinical Performance Examination (FCPE) are designed to help candidates understand the structure and style of the new clinical assessment.
These resources will support candidates in becoming familiar with the format of sample stations, the types of tasks they may encounter, and the performance standards expected in the examination. The FCPE is intended to assess how candidates apply their knowledge in clinical situations, including clinical reasoning, prioritisation, communication and safe decision-making.
