FRACS GS / operate.
SAQ and spots grader with examiner-style marking, operative and anatomy viva simulator with voice mode, spaced-repetition flashcards, and sourced study notes across all nine general surgery subspecialties. Built for the depth the Fellowship vivas demand.
One complete general surgeon.
The FRACS Written includes six SAQ questions in three hours, each requiring structured surgical reasoning with specific operative details, staging systems, and evidence-based management. The Primex SAQ grader generates questions in authentic FRACS format, marks every marking point, and gives a tier with an examiner-style model answer for each response.
