How the PRIMEX viva simulator works
Thirty seconds, animated: how a viva actually runs in PRIMEX. The simulator asks, listens, and presses further with follow-up questions, the way an oral exam really moves.
Read the transcript
The viva is a conversation under pressure. Reading notes will not rehearse it. The PRIMEX viva simulator asks, listens, and presses further, the way examiners do. Practise the conversation before it counts. PRIMEX. Practise like the exam.
How candidates prepare for the RANZCR Part 2
The RANZCR Part 2 Case Reporting paper presents 35 radiology cases across all seven domains in 3 hours. PRIMEX grades your reports for systematic structure, correct pathology identification, and appropriate management recommendations; the three dimensions RANZCR viva examiners probe when following up on case reporting results.
- Systematic report structure grading: observation → interpretation → differential → management
- Pathology identification across all 7 domains including cross-modality cases
- Missing key findings flagged with examiner-style feedback
- Linked to study notes for immediate consolidation of missed pathology
PRIMEX ships 10,614 active flashcards across the 7 OSCER domains, mapped to the RANZCR Part 2 learning objectives. SM-2-style spaced repetition. Study notes, MCQ practice, case-reporting grading, and the seven-domain OSCER simulator are all live alongside.
- 10,614 cards across all 7 OSCER domains (Thoracic/CV, Neuro/H&N, Abdominal, MSK, Breast, O&G, Paediatrics)
- Staging and classification criteria covered: Fleischner, Bosniak, PI-RADS, BI-RADS, LI-RADS, TI-RADS, O-RADS, RECIST, Lugano
- One click from card to the full LO study note
The RANZCR Part 2 Viva consists of 7 domain stations, each 25 minutes with 8-10 cases. Each station has two examiners. PRIMEX simulates all 7 domains with AI examiners who present radiology cases, ask for systematic interpretation, and probe clinical management; with voice mode for authentic viva practice.
- All 7 OSCER domains: Thoracic/CV, Neuroradiology/H&N, Abdominal, MSK, Breast, O&G, Paediatrics
- Case-based questioning: "Describe what you see, give me a differential, and tell me what you would recommend"
- Examiner probes push from observations to diagnosis to management to follow-up
- Voice mode for authentic spoken viva rehearsal
Work through a full mock viva out loud with this college's AI examiner, in real time. Answer by voice, get probed and interrupted the way the real examiner would, then step out to a graded debrief: a readiness verdict, the topics you covered, your strengths and gaps, and how you handled the pressure. Every mock viva feeds your weak-topic plan, so what to practise next is always clear.
- Real-time spoken viva in this college's examiner voice, fully interruptible
- Graded readiness verdict: on track, borderline, or at risk
- Communication and composure feedback: pacing, hesitation, clarity under pressure
- Weak topics flow straight into your study plan and daily practice
- Part of PRIMEX Pro, with monthly mock vivas included
144 sourced study notes across the Phase 2 curriculum, one for every covered learning objective. Each follows a structured reporting framework: radiological features, differential diagnosis, key distinguishing features, and management implications, plus the reporting pearls examiners expect. Not just pattern recognition, but clinical integration.
- 144 study notes, one per covered LO, across all 7 Phase 2 domains and the pathology and case-reporting papers
- Systematic reporting framework in every note: features → differential → distinguishing points → management
- Staging and classification criteria with specific thresholds (LI-RADS, BI-RADS, TIRADS, Fleischner, Bosniak, PI-RADS)
- References to ACR guidelines, RANZCR position statements, and landmark oncology staging systems
The RANZCR Phase 2 curriculum maps 171 LOs across clinical radiology domains. PRIMEX's curriculum tab maps every LO to the study notes and flashcards that cover it, with per-domain progress bars so you know which viva station needs more preparation.
- All 171 RANZCR Phase 2 LOs mapped across 7 clinical domains

RANZCR Part 2 format and structure: written and viva
The RANZCR Part 2 (Phase 2) examination is the final fellowship hurdle for clinical radiology trainees in Australia and New Zealand. It follows completion of Phase 1 and the required clinical training years. The examination has four components: a Pathology Written Paper (100 MCQ + 10 SAQ, 3 hrs), a Radiology MCQ Paper (100 MCQ, 2 hrs), a Case Reporting Examination (35 image-based cases, 3 hrs), and the OSCER (7 stations across 2 days). All three written papers must pass before candidates may sit the OSCER. The Case Reporting and OSCER components are image-dependent and require external image platforms for preparation; PRIMEX covers the text-based written knowledge components.
The OSCER consists of seven 25-minute stations across 2 days, covering Thoracic and Cardiovascular, Neuroradiology and Head and Neck, Abdominal, Musculoskeletal, Breast, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Paediatrics. Each station has approximately 8 cases (10 marks each) assessed by two examiners. All 7 stations must pass independently; if 1 to 2 stations fail, only those need resitting at the next sitting. PRIMEX is built by Dr Jay Marshall, an anaesthetics registrar in Taree, NSW.
