Feature 01 · Clinical Reasoning Grader
Age-specific marking. Every time.

The FRACP Paediatrics DWE penalises missing weight-based drug doses, adult thresholds applied without paediatric adjustment, and failure to recognise child protection concerns. Write a structured paediatric clinical reasoning response and get a debrief with tier, every key point flagged, and a Distinction-level model answer with ISPAD, PALS, APEG, and NICE guideline references.

  • Fail / Borderline / Pass / Distinction tier, paediatric-specific rubric
  • Flags missing weight-based doses and adult threshold misapplications
  • Checks for child protection recognition in relevant cases
  • Distinction model answers reference ISPAD, APLS, PALS, AAP, NICE guidelines
  • AI question generation across all 13 paediatric categories

Feature 02 · MCQ Practice
DWE-format MCQs. Paediatric depth. Community data.

Single-best-answer MCQs across all 13 FRACP Paediatrics categories, written at FRACP consultant-entry level with age-stratified normal values, weight-based dosing, and paediatric-specific guideline knowledge. Community answer distributions show how other FRACP Paediatrics candidates responded.

  • DWE-format SBA MCQs with paediatric-specific clinical complexity
  • Uses age-stratified values: vital signs, BP percentiles, developmental milestones
  • Weight-based dosing in explanations, not adult shortcuts
  • Community answer distribution after each question
  • Timed mock mode: 130 questions, 3 hours

Feature 03 · DCE Long & Short Case Simulator
An AI FRACP Paediatrics examiner. Day or night.

Simulates both DCE formats for paediatric medicine. Long case: present a complex paediatric patient with multi-system involvement to an AI examiner for 25 minutes. Short case: interpret specific examination findings in a child. Expects age-stratified values, weight-based dosing, and paediatric-specific guideline knowledge throughout. Voice mode included.

  • Long case: structured summary, then probing across problem list and management
  • Short case: paediatric physical findings described, interpretation probed
  • Probes for named guidelines: ISPAD, APLS/PALS, NICE, AAP, APEG
  • Voice mode: speak your answer, no typing needed
  • Debrief on clinical acumen, reasoning, management, and communication

Feature 04 · Flashcards
Spaced repetition across all 13 categories.

Curriculum-mapped flashcard decks across all paediatric categories with spaced repetition. Covers age-stratified thresholds, weight-based drug protocols, paediatric staging and scoring systems, developmental milestones, and clinical vignettes from neonatology to adolescent medicine.

  • Spaced repetition: review what you're forgetting, not what you know
  • Age-stratified thresholds: vital signs, BP percentiles, bilirubin levels
  • Paediatric dosing cards: ceftriaxone, adrenaline, dexamethasone, insulin
  • Developmental milestones and scoring systems (GMFCS, Westley, Kocher)
  • MCQ drill mode and one-click link to full study notes

Frequently asked
The AI examiner presents complex paediatric patients with realistic age-specific presentations: a 6-week-old with fever without focus, a 4-year-old with DKA, a teenager with a new epilepsy diagnosis. It probes for age-stratified normal values, weight-based dosing, paediatric-specific guidelines (ISPAD, PALS, APLS, NICE), and recognition of child protection considerations where relevant. After the session, the debrief explicitly flags any adult thresholds incorrectly applied to a paediatric patient.
Yes. The grader is calibrated to the FRACP Paediatrics DWE standard and specifically flags: applying adult vital sign thresholds to children, using adult drug doses without weight-based adjustment, missing mandatory reporting obligations in child protection scenarios, and failing to consider genetic or chromosomal differentials in developmental delay workups. These are the common errors identified in FRACP Paediatrics examiner reports.
Yes. All 13 curriculum categories are covered: neonatology, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastroenterology and hepatology, neurology, developmental and behavioural paediatrics, endocrinology, nephrology, haematology and oncology, infectious diseases, child protection and social paediatrics, adolescent medicine, and acute and perioperative paediatrics. Child protection topics include fracture pattern recognition, mandatory reporting obligations, and safeguarding frameworks.
