How AI Actors Work

From your first practice case to walking into the exam with confidence — here's how it works.

1

Choose Your Case

30+ cases built around the presentations that catch trainees out — undifferentiated symptoms, mental health, paediatrics, professional dilemmas. Written by practising GPs, every case comes with a patient brief, doctor's notes, and the full mark scheme.

All 12 RCGP domains. New cases added every month.

Practice With AI Patients

Your patient speaks. You listen, question, and manage — no scripts, no multiple-choice. They hold back information unless you ask the right questions, push back if you rush, and won't volunteer the red flag you missed. 12 minutes on the clock. The same pressure as sitting the real SCA exam.

Fully voice-driven — just consult, no typing.

Get Instant Marking

The moment your consultation ends, your score appears across all three RCGP domains. No booking a trainer, no waiting a week for written feedback. A clear pass or fail, the number that got you there, and exactly which moments made the difference.

Marked against real RCGP criteria — not estimates.

Review & Improve

Actionable and personalised feedback structured around how SCA examiners actually mark. Your own words are quoted back alongside a precise verdict: what impressed, what they'd flag, and what a higher-scoring response would have looked like. The honest debrief most registrars never get.

Structured across all three RCGP domains
Your words, quoted back with examiner-level commentary, using the same feedback statements as in the SCA exam.
Particularly useful if you trained outside the UK or are still adapting to RCGP-style consulting — the feedback names exactly what needs to shift.

Asking this early surfaces the patient's hidden agenda and guides a more patient-centred consultation.

Track Your Progress

Most trainees don't fail because they're bad clinicians — they fail because they can't see the pattern in their own performance. Your dashboard maps score trends, domain breakdowns, and pass rate session by session. A few cases in, you'll know exactly which domain is costing you marks.

Master the Full Syllabus

The SCA has a habit of testing exactly what wasn't in your revision plan — the professional dilemma, the paediatric red flag, the patient who wanted to talk about something else entirely. Our Hot Topics were written by NHS practising GPs who have recently taken the SCA exam. They know what actually comes up.

"I would like to recommend the SCA Prep Platform for a very good reason. I used SCA Preparation as part of my revision for the MRCGP SCA examination, particularly the AI-based role-player consultations. The platform provided a structured and accessible method for practising exam-style consultations, supporting development of consultation structure, time management, and clinical reasoning. While not a substitute for human role-play, it served as a useful adjunct to traditional SCA preparation and contributed positively to my overall exam readiness."
Dr Zay Htut

"The cases were invaluable for my practice. I felt more confident prior to the exam and passed the first time. Definitely worth it!"

"The AI tutor is truly formidable. It knows everything about the guidelines and you can chat as you would with a real person. Very useful for revision."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about SCA Prep

SCA Prep is an SCA revision platform founded in early 2024 by current GPs to provide a comprehensive AI-powered platform designed specifically for GP trainees preparing for their RCGP SCA exam. We were the first SCA revision platform to make the most of the latest AI technology to help with exam practice. We provide unlimited access to our UK Guidelines-trained AI tutor, unlimited SCA case generation, and revolutionary AI Actors for human like and super realistic consultation practice.

Our AI Tutor is extensively trained on NICE UK clinical guidelines, primary care protocols, and SCA exam requirements. You can chat with it 24/7 about any clinical topic, ask for guideline clarifications, practice differential diagnoses, or get help with clinical reasoning. It's like having a senior GP available anytime both on your phone and desktop.

AI Actors are our breakthrough feature - life-like AI patients with natural voices that you can have real-time conversations with. They simulate realistic patient consultations, respond naturally to your questions, and help you practice consultation skills in a safe environment before your actual SCA exam. We even have stations to practice calming down an angry sounding patient!

Yes! With our Premium subscription, you get unlimited access to our SCA Cases Generator. Create comprehensive patient scenarios covering all 12 SCA examination domains, complete with patient notes, consultation notes, and detailed mark schemes. You can save, download, and share cases with your study group with no restrictions unlike other SCA revision platforms.

Absolutely! SCA Prep is fully responsive and works seamlessly on any smart phone, tablet, or computer. Study anywhere, anytime - whether you're on a break between clinics or revising at home. The AI Tutor chat and case generator work perfectly on mobile devices.

We offer three plans: Revision Essential (£14.95/month) includes unlimited AI Tutor sessions, unlimited SCA case generation, access to AI Actors (credits purchased separately), latest GPT-5 thinking models, case saving and PDF downloads, and priority email support. SCA Prep + AI Actors (£34.95/month) includes everything in Revision Essential plus 10 monthly AI Actor credits and exclusive access to Hot Topics study materials. The 3-Month Intensive (£95/3 months) is designed for candidates sitting SCA in 8–12 weeks, includes everything in SCA Prep + AI Actors but with 30 AI Actor credits upfront and renews every 3 months – saving you £9.85 compared to monthly billing. All credits are valid for 1 year and you can easily cancel any plan from the control panel.

After each AI Actor consultation, our advanced AI system evaluates your performance against official RCGP marking criteria and UK Guidelines using GPT-5. You receive instant, detailed feedback on your consultation skills, clinical reasoning, and areas for improvement - just like real SCA marking.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription anytime with no penalties or hidden fees. Your access continues until the end of your billing period and if you have AI actor credits, you can still use them even after your subscription ends. We believe in providing value that makes you want to stay, not contracts that force you to.

Our AI is extensively trained on current UK clinical guidelines, NICE guidance, and primary care protocols. However, it's designed as a study aid and should not replace clinical judgment or official medical advice. Always verify critical information with authoritative sources and your supervising clinicians.

SCA Prep was developed by current GPs specifically for GP trainees - from ST1 to ST3. We understand the challenges of SCA preparation because we've been through it ourselves. Our platform is built with real-world clinical experience and insights from successful SCA candidates.
