The GPhC website provides official example questions. They are free. They are authoritative. And they are the single most important resource for exam calibration — because they show you exactly what the CRA looks like, at exactly the difficulty level the exam tests.
The examples reveal the SBA format and question structure, the level of applied clinical decision-making expected (not pure factual recall), and the coverage across all three content areas: clinical therapeutics, law and governance, and calculations.
Most candidates glance at the official examples and move on. This is a mistake. Study them carefully — they reveal question stem style, distractors quality, and the specific way clinical knowledge is tested in applied scenarios. They set the benchmark that every commercial Q-bank should match.
The limitation: the sample is very small — not enough for actual revision practice. They are for calibration, not coverage. Work through them first, then use the insights to evaluate which commercial Q-bank best matches the official standard.
Where iatroX Fits
Official examples show the standard. iatroX's GPhC Q-bank is designed to match that standard — applied clinical decision-making in SBA format, mapped to the 2026 CRA framework.
