This workflow is for RACGP registrars using eMedici's case-based platform for the Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) and Key Feature Problem (KFP) who want structure rather than another product ranking. It addresses the two written components. Its principal limitation is a design risk, not a defect: eMedici is a strong case-and-explanation library, but it is not adaptive and does not reproduce the CCE, so without deliberate role assignment its features collapse into one activity — read the case, read the explanation, feel informed, repeat — performed four times and mistaken for four methods.

Two figures shape how you should use the platform. First, there is no vendor-stated adaptive engine, so sequencing is your job, not the software's. Second, the KFP pool (330+) is modest next to the AKT pool (2,800+); those KFP items are a finite asset and should be rationed, not sprayed.
The exam you are preparing for
Per racgp.org.au (checked 19 July 2026): the AKT is 150 single-best-answer questions; the KFP is 70 independent multiple-selection questions, each case unrelated to the rest, rewarding specific, safe decisions; both are currently paper-based, around four hours each — verify your diet's delivery and timing. The CCE is the separate live consultation exam. The RACGP curriculum, sample questions and candidate guidelines are the official anchor; eMedici's counts and blueprinting are vendor claims to be checked, not assumed.
Assign one job to each feature
The single most useful move is to stop letting every feature become "read a case". Assign each a distinct job:
- Diagnosis — a baseline that tells you where you actually stand.
- Teaching — learning only the gaps the baseline exposed.
- Retrieval — testing those gaps cold, later, without the explanation visible.
- Simulation — full-length, timed, mixed blocks under exam conditions.
- Feedback — the cohort comparison on mocks, read for relative standing and pacing.
If a study session does not clearly belong to one of these five, you are probably repeating a passive read in a new costume.
Begin with a blueprint-stratified baseline
Use eMedici's curriculum filtering to draw a spread of items across domains — core and contextual units — rather than starting at the top of the default list. Score it, then choose your next modules by result, targeting cold domains first. Following the platform's default order blindly tends to over-practise early, comfortable topics and under-practise the ones that will actually cost you marks.
Build a weekly sequence that separates the four activities
Structure the week so learning, retrieval, simulation and measurement never blur:
- Learn only identified gaps (teaching).
- Test them the same or next day, explanation hidden (retrieval).
- Retest the survivors later in the week (spaced retrieval).
- Fold them into a mixed, timed block at week's end (simulation).
This is the antidote to the "four times" trap: the same content is genuinely handled four different ways, each doing different cognitive work, rather than re-read four times.
Protect your assessment assets
The two AKT and two KFP mocks, and any items you have deliberately kept unseen, are assessment assets — spend them once, under conditions, as measurement. Do not fritter them away in casual study. The 330+ KFP items deserve particular discipline: because the pool is small relative to the AKT pool, burning through it early leaves you with nothing clean to measure KFP readiness against in the final weeks.
Set switch criteria between modalities
Decide in advance what moves you between notes, the Q-bank, a simulator and official material, based on observed errors:
- Persistent knowledge gaps → back to notes or teaching, then re-test.
- Right knowledge, wrong application → more Q-bank retrieval under time.
- Correct answers but poor pacing → simulation, not more single items.
- Uncertainty about the standard → the official RACGP samples and candidate guidelines.
Exit criteria
You are ready to wind down eMedici's written practice when coverage is adequate across the blueprint, first-attempt performance on fresh items is stable rather than swinging, pacing matches the real per-item budget, and your CCE preparation — the non-MCQ component — is being handled properly elsewhere. Written readiness alone is not Fellowship readiness.
A seven-day plan: eMedici for one job, iatroX for transfer
- Monday: blueprint-stratified baseline in eMedici; identify the two coldest domains.
- Tuesday: teaching on those domains only; build misconception notes.
- Wednesday: cold retrieval on Tuesday's material, explanations hidden.
- Thursday: a fresh, timed, mixed unseen block in iatroX; record first-attempt accuracy by domain.
- Friday: KFP specificity practice on a rationed set of eMedici KFP items.
- Saturday: spaced retest of the week's misses; one eMedici mock if an unseen one remains.
- Sunday: a short iatroX unseen block to confirm transfer, then rest.
Give eMedici the job of teaching and building coverage; give iatroX the job of unseen, timed measurement on items you have not met before. No proprietary-algorithm claims are involved — just clean separation between the bank that teaches and the bank that measures.
Decision checklist: continue, supplement, switch or stop
- Continue if coverage is broadening and fresh-item accuracy is climbing.
- Supplement with an unseen bank once your eMedici percentage is high but transfer to unseen items is flat — that gap is familiarity, not mastery.
- Switch the balance toward simulation when your errors become pacing errors rather than knowledge errors.
- Stop consuming your protected mocks and KFP items until you can sit them as genuine, condition-matched measurement.
Three mistakes this workflow is designed to stop
Doing the same passive read four times. Reading a case, reading its explanation, and moving on feels like study but is a single activity repeated. Without assigning distinct jobs — diagnosis, teaching, retrieval, simulation and feedback — you can spend a fortnight re-reading and mistake it for coverage. The fix is to make each pass do different cognitive work: commit before you see the answer, and re-test cold later in the week.
Burning the finite KFP pool early. With a KFP pool far smaller than the AKT pool, casual early consumption leaves nothing clean to measure KFP readiness against in the final weeks, when you most need a true read. Ration KFP items deliberately and keep a block sealed for late, condition-matched practice rather than spraying them across easy sessions.
Chasing question count instead of coverage and retention. A high daily tally and a high platform percentage both feel like progress, but both rise simply as you recognise your own pool. The numbers that actually predict the exam are coverage across the blueprint, first-attempt accuracy on fresh items, and whether last month's corrections still hold this month. Track those, and treat the raw count as an input, not an outcome.
FAQ
Is eMedici enough for RACGP Fellowship on its own? For the AKT and KFP, eMedici's vendor-reported volume (2,800+ AKT and 330+ KFP items, checked 19 July 2026) can serve as a candidate's main written bank, and its curriculum filtering and reviewed explanations are genuine strengths. But "enough" also needs unseen measurement on items you have not already worked inside eMedici, and separate CCE preparation, which the AKT/KFP package does not include. Most candidates are better served pairing it with an independent unseen bank and the official RACGP materials.
Which RACGP Fellowship component does eMedici not reproduce well? The CCE. eMedici's AKT/KFP package excludes clinical cases, which are sold as a separate product, and even those simulated cases are not the live, examiner-judged CCE consultation exam. Treat eMedici as written-knowledge preparation; the interactive, communication-assessed CCE requires supervised clinical rehearsal that no case-and-explanation library reproduces.
How many eMedici questions should I complete per day for RACGP Fellowship? There is no magic number, and daily count is the wrong target; the useful targets are coverage, first-attempt accuracy and retention. A workable pattern for many registrars is 30–50 AKT items a day handled with commit-then-verify discipline, with KFP items rationed more tightly because the pool is smaller. Doing 200 items you skim teaches less than 40 you commit to, verify and log — and it burns your finite KFP pool far faster.
When should I stop using eMedici and move to mixed mocks? When coverage is broad, your fresh-item accuracy is stable at target, and your remaining errors are about timing and stamina rather than missing knowledge. At that point single-topic practice yields little, and full-length mixed timed mocks — sat under the real four-hour, paper-based conditions — become the higher-value activity. Keep at least one eMedici mock unseen for exactly this phase.
How should I combine eMedici with iatroX without duplicating practice? Give them non-overlapping jobs. eMedici teaches and builds coverage through its curriculum-filtered cases; iatroX measures, on fresh, unseen, timed items you have not met in eMedici. The rule that prevents duplication is simple: never re-test an eMedici item inside iatroX or vice versa. The second bank is valuable precisely because it is clean, which is the two-bank rule in practice.
