RACGP reveals first exam pass rates of revamped KFP without short-answer questions

Short answers were axed following registrars' feedback.

Some 80% of candidates passed the RACGP’s most recent Key Feature Problem exam in July — the first held after short-answer questions were removed.

This compared with a pass rate of 77% in January, when the exam was last delivered in its old format: 26 scenarios with 3-4 questions each, mixing multiple-choice and short-answer questions.

The new exam featured 70 scenarios, each with a single multiple-choice question.

While pass rates were similar, candidate numbers were higher in July, with 1160 sitting the Key Feature Problem (KFP) exam compared with 900 in January.
