PRIMEX vs Geeky Medics
Geeky Medics is the most widely used free clinical skills resource in UK and Australian medical schools, with a paid subscription bundle range on top. Here is how it compares with PRIMEX for Australian medical students preparing for university clinical finals in 2026.
How does PRIMEX compare
Geeky Medics is a great study companion: its free OSCE guides, videos, and clinical skills walkthroughs are excellent and most Australian students already use them. The content is UK-built and reflects UK medical school context, with management aligned to NICE guidelines, the BNF, NHS pathways, and UKMLA framing across its AKT question bank.
PRIMEX is built specifically for Australian medical student finals. The 600 OSCE stations are calibrated to AU final-year level and use Australian guidelines throughout: eTG-aligned therapeutics, RACGP and ASCIA pathways, Australian Mental Health Acts, Austroads fitness-to-drive standards, MBS items, and Indigenous health (715 health assessment, SEWB framework). On the same subscription you also get unlimited finals-level MCQs, AI-graded SAQs with Pass/Borderline/Fail feedback, 12,522 spaced-repetition flashcards, and 608 sourced study notes across 30 specialties. The two tools sit alongside each other well: Geeky Medics for general clinical skills learning, PRIMEX for AU-finals-specific OSCE and written practice.

Frequently asked questions
Is Geeky Medics useful for Australian medical students?
Yes. The free library is widely used by AU students throughout their degree. The content is UK-built and reflects UK medical school context (NICE, BNF, NHS, UKMLA). For Australian finals you also need AU-specific therapeutics (eTG), pathways (RACGP, ASCIA), legislation, and Indigenous health content - which PRIMEX is built around.
What does Geeky Medics cost?
Geeky Medics has a large free tier and four paid bundles in GBP (verified May 2026): Knowledge £18.99/month or £34.99/year, Data Interpretation £19.99/month or £39.99/year, Clinical Skills £25.99/month or £49.99/year, and Everything £35.99/month or £69.99/year.
How does PRIMEX pricing compare?
PRIMEX Accessible (Medical Student + AMC only) is A$24.99/month, A$59.99/3 months, or A$179.99/year; PRIMEX Specialist (all exam tracks) is A$44.99/month, A$119.99/3 months, or A$299/year. Existing grandfathered subscribers retain their original price and all-exam access. Both tiers include a 7-day free trial. Accessible covers Medical Student + AMC only; Specialist covers all exam tracks. The pricing axis is currency-different, but the more important axis is curriculum fit for AU finals.
Does PRIMEX include AI grading?
Yes. PRIMEX includes AI-graded SAQs with Pass/Borderline/Fail feedback, AI-graded OSCE feedback after each station, and a free SAQ/MCQ grader at primexstudy.com.au/grader. Geeky Medics offers AI credits in its paid bundles for AI virtual patients, which is a different product.
