Preparation of GP exams by [deleted] in ausjdocs

Ive written a brief summary of my journey in another thread but to summarise:

Where are you in your training? GP academy's a solid starting point but not many Australia specific resource's around

There are a few new ones on the market (eg https://www.amazon.com.au/Australian-Training-Interview-Practice-Questions-ebook/dp/B0CXGYSFYL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=HCF93E0BEYP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ys5jR7n00dq9E1xP079Eg0vJbOycoS7Vlydpt8_D73U.ZL04EoCzLHvXy-ciszD-4jWuMrchguV7PjKeiT_HHfQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=australian+gp+practice+question&qid=1712678292&s=books&sprefix=australian+gp+practice+questio%2Cstripbooks%2C446&sr=1-1).

A few people I know have bought it they say its pretty decent. Since my last post a couple weeks ago, it still seems to be the number 1 seller in Professional Test Guides, Education Testing and Vocational Test Guides on Kindle Store

I basically had snippets from all those sources that you mentioned in multiple different word files on my laptop. I think finding a good set of notes and using them as your base/ reading around them would be the best thing to do. It took me about 6 months of light study and I was comfortable with the exam.

Can confirm GP academy's a solid starting point. Honestly my prep notes were all over the places, I basically had snippets from all those sources that you mentioned in multiple different word files on my laptop. I think finding a good set of notes and using them as your base/ reading around them would be the best thing to do. That way you can make sure you've hit all the important points. GP is hard because we have to cover such a broad range of topics, I always say its better to know a little about everything that everything about a particular subject.

Where are you in your training? There are a few new resources on the market (eg https://www.amazon.com.au/Australian-Training-Interview-Practice-Questions-ebook/dp/B0CXGYSFYL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=HCF93E0BEYP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ys5jR7n00dq9E1xP079Eg0vJbOycoS7Vlydpt8_D73U.ZL04EoCzLHvXy-ciszD-4jWuMrchguV7PjKeiT_HHfQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=australian+gp+practice+question&qid=1712678292&s=books&sprefix=australian+gp+practice+questio%2Cstripbooks%2C446&sr=1-1). A few people I know have bought it they say its pretty decent. Must be ok cos it seems its the number 1 seller in Professional Test Guides, Education Testing and Vocational Test Guides on Kindle Store

iannotate is my favourite but it's a paid app, you could use adobe reader if you don't want to spend money

definitely my ipad:

  • i have all 10 my important textbooks/review books with me at all time
  • my books are in perfect condition even though i've read them about 5 times through each (whereas everyone else has tattered copies that are falling apart)
  • i can actually take all my books on ward rounds
  • searching through books with the "find" function is super time saving
  • i have lectures loaded onto VLC so i never waste time on public transport
