Wanted: 1000 GPs willing to 'stress test' the RACGP's fellowship exam software
They will be asked to work through a series of clinical questions for 45 minutes
23rd March 2022
The RACGP wants 1000 members to sit a written clinical 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 to test the platform’s functions for 45 minutes.
It’s unclear whether doctors who take part will receive results, but they will be asked to give feedback on what they think of the process.
“The member trial is the biggest trial we’ve run to date,” said the college’s national clinical lead for assessments, Dr Gary Butler.
“It will help us assess how candidates interact with the platform and also perform a load test by putting the platform under stress, with more than 1000 people taking a test at a similar time.”

I have to say this sounds like a pretty solid plan to avoid the various examination fails that seems to have occurred over the last year or two with GPs, psychiatrists and physicians!
I hope it can work well the first time, otherwise the whole testing thing could become a tedious and expensive exercise!
David.
