PRIMEX Study Guides: what you actually need to know.

Format breakdown across MCQ, SAQ and the eight cross-table vivas. Realistic 4 / 6 / 9 month timelines and the SAQ writing failure modes that catch competent ICU trainees.

Hot cases, structured viva and the SAQ paper. Curriculum coverage anchored on real CICM examiner-report patterns and ANZICS / Surviving Sepsis guidance.

Integrated four-discipline viva structure, the quantification trap, and the cross-reference between physiology and pharmacology that derails many ED registrars.

10 SAQs in 180 minutes for 360 marks plus the 12-station OSCE at 4+7 minutes. Recurring examiner-report failure modes around doses, disposition and blank sub-parts.

AKT, KFP and CCE format detail, the 2025.2 KFP bubble-sheet change, undercoding and overcoding patterns, and a CCE-first argument with realistic timelines.

StAMPS structure, retrieval decisions, prescribing specificity, and the cultural-safety thread that runs through the whole rural-generalist curriculum.

Post-FRACP merge curriculum at 320 LOs across 16 clinical domains. HFrEF quad therapy, AKI on CKD, hypercalcaemia of malignancy, sepsis source identification.

The largest curriculum in the program at 744 mapped objectives across 22 sections. Adult-threshold misapplication, weight-based dosing, child-protection threading.

12 CSKIP topic areas, the highest-yield clinical sub-themes, RANZCOG and SOMANZ guideline names, and a writing-skill failure mode you can drill against.

5 MEQs in 150 minutes for 125 marks rising to 150, sequentially unfolding parts, and the MEQ-structure-versus-content failure mode that drops competent candidates.

The 24 / 83 / 41 LO split across 2.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 plus 21 anatomy LOs. Units, CTDI / DLP confusion, T1 / T2 mechanism mix-ups: the recurring physics-paper traps.

Case reporting, BI-RADS, LI-RADS, TIRADS, O-RADS lexicons. Viva format and OSCER. Reporting-practice oriented rather than the physics-and-anatomy framing of Part 1.

216 LOs across 133 topic areas across 15 curriculum domains. APL emergency, HIT 4T, ADAMTS13, WHO 2022 vs 2016 deltas. Real RCPA viva scenarios.

IHC panel construction, Gleason / ISUP, WHO 2021 CNS, TCGA endometrial, Appendix 13 molecular by MBS item number, frozen-section communication.

The pre-SET screening exam: anatomy, physiology and pathology applied to surgery. 60 MCQ + 20 spots, Pearson VUE delivery, no SAQ or viva.

Operative-decision-making framing, five-station viva structure, and named landmark trials (Z0011, MSLT-II, COLOR II, CROSS, FLOT) that match examiner themes.

AOA-specific signal: Hawkins sign nuance, Latarjet glenoid track, Vancouver / AORI / Paprosky for revision, FAITH / HEALTH / SPRINT / DRAFFT / CSAW.

For international medical graduates seeking Australian general registration. Blueprint coverage, computer-adaptive format, Australian context (PBS, eTG, NIP).

577 high-yield topics across 30 clinical domains. SPIKES, ICE, SOCRATES, MSE, Calgary-Cambridge, consent and teach-back. Australian context throughout.
