The RACGP wants 1000 members to sit a written exam on their computers next month so it can put its new exam software to the ultimate pressure test. 

The mock assessment on April 5 will form part of a series of trials ahead of the college’s return to online fellowship exams, which is expected to occur later this year.  

Any college member can sign up as a candidate. They will be asked to work through exam questions that are similar to the Applied Knowledge Test to test the platform’s functions for 45 minutes. 

While the college won’t score participants, it will provide them with a copy of the answers once they’ve completed the exam.
