RANZCP / formulated.
MEQ grader with examiner-style marking, MCQ practice, clinical viva simulator with voice mode, spaced-repetition flashcards, and sourced study notes across all psychiatry disciplines. Built around the depth and clinical nuance the fellowship demands.
The depth of formulation.
The RANZCP Written Examination is five MEQs in 150 minutes, each unfolding across multiple sequential questions that build on a clinical vignette. The Primex MEQ grader generates authentic MEQs across all psychiatry domains, marks each response with examiner-style feedback, gives you a tier, and shows a model answer written at FRANZCP level.
- Authentic MEQ format: sequential unfolding questions across a single vignette
- Pass / Borderline / Fail tier with marks and examiner commentary per question
- Every marking point checked: hit, partially hit, or missed
- Model answer written at FRANZCP examiner standard
- Timed mock: 5 MEQs, 150 minutes, automatic advance
Single-best-answer MCQs covering neuroscience, psychopharmacology, clinical psychiatry, and subspecialties at FRANZCP level. Questions require the depth of knowledge the MEQs draw on: mechanism of action, diagnostic criteria, treatment evidence, and medicolegal reasoning. Community answer distributions after each question.
- Fellowship-level SBA questions across all psychiatry domains
- Covers pharmacology, neuroscience, clinical, and subspecialty content
- Explanation for every option, including the distractors
- Community answer distribution after each question
- AI-generated, curriculum-mapped, endless supply
The CCA-MPR assesses clinical competencies through portfolio and direct observation. Practising formulation out loud accelerates the thinking the RANZCP examiners want to see in writing. Voice mode lets you work through a clinical vignette by speaking: present the biopsychosocial formulation, risk assessment, and management plan to an AI examiner who probes your reasoning.
- Voice mode: present formulation by speaking, examiner responds live
- Biopsychosocial formulation, risk assessment, and management plan structure
- Examiner probes: aetiology, differential, risk, pharmacological choice
- Debrief with specific formulation feedback after each session
- Covers all subspecialties: adult, child, old age, C-L, forensic, addiction
Curriculum-mapped flashcard decks covering all psychiatry domains from psychopharmacology to subspecialty psychiatry. Spaced repetition keeps the detail in memory between MEQ sittings. Cards cover receptor pharmacology, diagnostic criteria, evidence-based therapies, medicolegal principles, and clinical vignettes.
- Spaced repetition: targeted review of what you're forgetting
- Receptor profiles, drug interactions, and metabolic considerations
- Diagnostic criteria cards: ICD/DSM with key distinguishing features
- MCQ drill mode for rapid-fire pharmacology and neuroscience
- One click from card to full study note

The RANZCP Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists has two components. The Written Examination is five Modified Essay Questions (MEQs) in 150 minutes, each a sequentially unfolding clinical vignette requiring biopsychosocial formulation, risk assessment, and management planning. The Clinical Competency Assessment and Multiple Professional Report (CCA-MPR) is a portfolio-based component assessed through workplace competencies and supervisor reports. The MEQ is widely considered one of the most formulation-demanding written exams in Australian specialist training.
