How to choose when you are considering two exams

Some trainees balance dual-fellowship pathways or are deciding between training programs. The table above shows format differences - an exam with a viva component requires a different preparation approach to a pure MCQ paper. Use the study guide links in the table for a detailed breakdown of each exam's failure modes and time investment.

Cross-college content overlap

Several curriculum areas appear across multiple college exams: cardiovascular physiology, respiratory mechanics, pharmacokinetics, statistical interpretation and medical ethics. Specialist unlocks every exam track, so trainees with overlapping study needs - for example, an anaesthetics registrar also preparing for the CICM First Part, or a UK intensive care trainee sitting the Final FFICM - can switch between college contexts within the same study session.

Two PRIMEX plans: Specialist and Accessible

Specialist unlocks every exam track and every study tool available for them. It runs $44.99/month, $119.99 every 3 months (around $40/month) or $299/year (around $24.92/month, best value). Accessible is the lower-cost option for AMC candidates and medical students: it covers only AMC and the Medical Student library at $24.99/month, $59.99 every 3 months (around $19.99/month) or $179.99/year (around $15/month).
