RACGP CASPer tutoring

CASPer coaching for doctors applying to RACGP AGPT and FSP.

RACGP uses a CASPer-style selection assessment through Acuity Insights. The skills are familiar: empathy, ethics, fairness, communication and reflection. The bar is higher, because you are no longer being judged like a medical-school applicant.

The same CASPer skills, held to a doctor standard

RACGP describes the selection assessment as an online situational judgement test delivered by Acuity Insights and referred to by Acuity as the Casper Test. It assesses how you reflect on and respond to interpersonal and professional dilemmas. It does not test clinical knowledge.

That last point matters. Most doctors do not struggle with CASPer because they lack empathy. They struggle because years of clinical training have taught them to think quickly, clinically and efficiently. CASPer asks you to slow down and think like a human again.

AGPT and FSPFor RACGP applicants who need CASPer preparation at the standard expected of doctors entering GP training.
Not clinical revisionThe work is not about diagnoses, management plans or guidelines. It is about judgement, communication and reflection.
Higher marking standardYou have had at least 6+ years of extra training, hierarchy, conflict and patient-facing pressure. The expected nuance jumps.
Human voice under pressureDan helps you show mature empathy and reasoning without sounding scripted, defensive or overly clinical.

Why doctors get caught out

A medical applicant can often score well by showing that they are thoughtful, respectful and teachable. A doctor needs to show more. The assessor expects a deeper grasp of power, vulnerability, uncertainty, competing perspectives and the consequences of tone.

The trap is that doctors have spent years being rewarded for clinical compression: identify the issue, make a plan, document it, move. That is useful on a ward. It can be the wrong rhythm for CASPer. The strongest RACGP CASPer answers still make decisions, but they show the human reasoning behind them.

Doctor-specific proof

RACGP applicants coached separately from medical-school applicants. The same CASPer framework is used, but the feedback is calibrated to the maturity expected of doctors applying for AGPT or FSP.
Existing GP-training applicants have used Key2MD coaching successfully. Doctor testimonials and broader CASPer results sit on the results page, separate from the general medical-school applicant pathway.

Shaped by years of candidate feedback. The practice scenarios are continually refined from what returning AGPT and FSP candidates report about how the assessment actually feels: increasingly workplace-based situations, colleagues from different backgrounds and levels of experience, and stations that focus on a single competency such as resilience or problem solving. These are original practice cases written from those reported themes - we never reproduce secure or live exam material.

What RACGP applicants are saying

Quartile 4 + 1st-preference offer

I utilised Casper Pro for a week, focusing on test timing optimisation. Pleased to say I scored Q4 and was offered first preference in a 3:1 oversubscribed training region. The AI feedback was A+++, really helpful in ensuring my responses were being interpreted correctly. I also loved how the program incorporated evidence based learning: self-feedback, self-initiated changes, then external feedback. The recommendations on remembering scope, answering the question being asked, and allowing time to answer both questions equally were exactly what I needed.

Matched first preference, oversubscribed region

I matched to my first preference for the RACGP 2027 intake. Your website was very useful, and the one-on-one session really gave me a clear idea of what was expected of me in the exams. So I'm very appreciative - thank you for your help!

Top quartile, RACGP CASPer

I am a reg who applied for RACGP this year. I did a week of prep on Key2MD and scored in the top quartile. I was stoked with the result, but I also felt much more confident after running through the question bank and being able to get feedback and watch my responses improve, which the official Acuity Insights practice does not provide. Huge thank you, and I will definitely recommend this site to others.

I got Q4 - thank you again for everything. I'll definitely recommend you to my friends who are going to sit CASPer in the future.

Doctor defaultWhat CASPer rewards
Jumping to the most efficient actionExplaining what you would clarify, who may be affected, and why the action is fair.
Using a clinical or procedural voiceWriting like a reflective person who understands context, pressure and emotion.
Sounding decisive too earlyShowing uncertainty where it is appropriate, then landing on a defensible path.
Relying on experience to carry the answerMaking the maturity of that experience visible in the response itself.

What tutoring focuses on

RACGP CASPer tutoring is not about learning a script. It is about noticing where your clinical instincts are hiding the empathy, nuance and self-awareness you already have.

  • Timed written and video-style CASPer practice using generic, everyday interpersonal scenarios.
  • Direct feedback on where your answer sounds too clinical, too generic, too defensive or too thin.
  • Training in multilateral empathy: not just what one person feels, but what each person in the situation may reasonably be carrying.
  • Doctor-level reflection: what you would do, why it is fair, what risk remains, and how you would learn from the outcome.
  • Preparation through 1:1 tutoring, live group classes, or signed-in timed practice, depending on how close your test date is and how much feedback you need.
No leaked stations, no model answers. The point is not to memorise a perfect response. It is to become the kind of responder who can handle an unfamiliar scenario with calm, human judgement.

Best next step

If you are applying for AGPT or FSP, start with the free practice tool, then book a short preference discussion if you want Dan to review your specific response pattern. Most doctors only need a few high-quality feedback loops to see what is going wrong.

Practise first, then get calibrated. Use the practice tool for timed CASPer reps, then use 1:1 or group tutoring for doctor-level feedback.
