Educational purpose only

FocusGP provides practice questions and explanations designed to help candidates prepare for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) and Key Feature Problem (KFP) examinations. All content on this site is intended solely for educational use by medical practitioners and trainees.

The content is not medical advice. It is not a clinical decision-support tool. It must not be used to guide the diagnosis, investigation, or treatment of any individual patient. Clinical decisions must be made on the basis of current clinical guidelines, the practitioner’s own assessment of the patient, and where appropriate, specialist consultation.

Not affiliated with the RACGP

FocusGP is an independent educational resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

“RACGP”, “AKT”, and “KFP” are trademarks of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. FocusGP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the RACGP. These terms are used solely to describe the examinations for which this resource provides preparation material.

Practice questions on this site are written independently. They are not RACGP examination questions, are not drawn from the RACGP question bank, and do not represent the views of the RACGP or its examiners.

No guarantee of exam success

FocusGP does not guarantee that use of this resource will result in passing the AKT, KFP, or any other examination. Examination performance depends on many factors, including individual preparation, clinical experience, and the content of the examination on the day, which we cannot predict or control.

Guideline currency and source selection

Practice questions and explanations reflect Australian clinical guidelines as at the date each question was written. Clinical guidelines change. Drug indications, dosing, and PBS listings change. Vaccination schedules change. Where a question cites a guideline, candidates should verify the current version of that guideline before applying any clinical information in practice.

Where multiple Australian guidelines address the same clinical question — for example, when the RACGP, eTG, specialist college guidelines, or condition-specific bodies recommend different approaches — the answer reflects the source selected by the question writer as most appropriate for the RACGP examination context. This selection may differ from the guideline a practitioner would choose in their own clinical practice, and reasonable clinicians may reach different conclusions on the basis of different sources. Candidates should treat the cited guideline as the basis for the practice question’s correct answer, not as the definitive recommendation for clinical care.

Practice questions are written to test the knowledge most likely to be assessed by the RACGP examinations. The “correct” answer in a practice question reflects the question writer’s judgement about what the exam is likely to reward, which may not match the answer a clinician would give a real patient in clinical practice.

We aim to update content when major guideline changes occur but do not warrant that every question reflects the most current version of every cited source at the time you access it.

Errors and feedback

Despite careful review, errors may occur. If you believe a question contains a clinical error, an outdated recommendation, or a factual mistake, please report it to support@focusgp.com.au. We will review reported errors and correct them where appropriate.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FocusGP and its operators accept no liability for any loss, damage, or adverse outcome arising from use of or reliance on the content of this site, including but not limited to clinical decisions made in reliance on practice question content, and examination outcomes.
