Ten minutes reading, then ten minutes with three questions. The examiner reads each question aloud.
Answer out loud. After question one you are handed new information to interpret, as in the real exam.
At the end Claude marks you against the real rubric.
What happens to what you say
No audio is recorded or kept. Nothing is saved as a sound file at any point.
Speech is turned into text by the browser. In Chrome that is not done on your device:
the audio is sent to Google's speech service. If you would rather it were not, type your answer instead.
Marking sends the text of your answer to Claude and gets a score back. That is a network call too.
Your marks and the examiner comments stay in this browser only, in local storage. They are
not uploaded, not backed up, and not visible on another device or another browser.
Clearing site data, or using a different browser or computer, loses the history. The last 40
attempts are kept; older ones roll off.
What the questions mean
Question 1 wording changes what they want
"How would you assess this patient?" means history, focused examination including observations, then investigations split into bedside and formal.
"How would you approach this patient?" means start with STEP UP: self, team, environment, then patient. Prepare staff, allocate roles, personal protective equipment. For a child, WETFLAG. Then the assessment.
Question 2 is usually management, sometimes the differential
Acute: C-ABCDE. Immediate measures, supportive care once stable, then disposition for definitive treatment.
Chronic: SNAP-V lifestyle factors, then medical, then surgical.
They often ask for the differential here instead, or as well.
They can ask you to hand over. Use SBAR: situation, background, assessment, recommendation.
Question 3 is a curveball
Usually public health, ethics, workers compensation or a difficult conversation. Topics that come up:
Elderly: elder abuse, capacity, consent, end of life care.
Paediatric: non-accidental injury, growth and development, the immunisation schedule.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander: Aboriginal liaison officers, rheumatic fever, type 2 diabetes, syphilis, ischaemic heart disease, post-traumatic stress disorder.
Psychiatric: suicide risk assessment and safety planning, least restrictive form of care. Sectioning is usually avoided because it is state specific.
How you are marked
Each of the three questions is marked out of 7.
Plus one mark out of 7 for rural and remote context, and one out of 7 for communication.
Five items, 35 for the scenario.
4 out of 7 is a pass.3 means you missed elements despite being prompted, and the only prompt an examiner may give is "is there anything else?"

What you said
Your words appear here as you speak.
This panel will not transcribe speech. Still answer out loud, then type the bones of
what you said so Claude has something to mark.
