Why choose SCA Prep?

Live consultation
“I suppose what I'm really worried about is whether it could be something serious.”

Every patient has a face, a voice and a story.

They hold information back until you ask, respond to empathy, interrupt and push back—so you practise reading the person, not working through a script.

We give you feedback that tells you what to do next.

See your result across all three RCGP domains, the moments that helped or hurt your score, and a more effective way to handle them.

RCGP Examiner Feedback

  • DG2Existing information about the case was insufficiently utilised

What You Did Well

  • You opened with a broad invitation and allowed the patient to describe the problem in their own words before moving into focused questions.
  • You characterised the key symptoms clearly, including onset, duration, severity, triggers, associated symptoms, and the impact on day-to-day functioning.
  • You actively screened for important red flags and explained why you were asking, which made the safety assessment feel purposeful rather than formulaic.
  • You explored the patient's main concern and picked up that they were worried about something serious, which helped you frame the rest of the consultation.

What Was Missing

  • Existing information was not used as fully as it could have been. The referral note and recent observations should have been explicitly checked and incorporated into your reasoning.
  • The social context was touched on but not developed. A little more about work, home support, and practical barriers would have helped you tailor the plan.
  • Your differential diagnosis was sensible, but you did not verbalise it clearly enough for the examiner to see how you were prioritising risk.

How to Improve

  • Use a quick signposting phrase before focused data gathering: "I am going to ask a few questions to check for anything serious, then we can talk through what this is most likely to be."
  • When records are available, make them visible in the consultation: "I can see from the discharge letter that your observations were stable, but I want to check how things have changed since then."
  • State your working diagnosis and alternatives briefly: "The most likely explanation is X, but I also want to rule out Y because of the symptoms you described."

"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."

A few things you may be wondering

Frequently asked questions about our SCA revision platform. For any other questions, contact us at hello@scaprep.co.uk

SCA Prep is an all-in-one revision platform built by practising GPs in 2024 for GP trainees preparing for the RCGP SCA.

You can practise with lifelike AI patients, get detailed feedback, ask our AI Tutor clinical questions and create cases for study-group practice—all in one place.

Ask it questions as you would ask a trainer: clarify a guideline, work through a differential or check how to manage a presentation in UK primary care.

It is available on desktop and mobile whenever you are revising. Think of it as a study partner—not a replacement for your clinical judgement or official guidance.

They are voice-based patients you speak to in real time. Each has a distinct story, personality and reason for consulting.

They may hold information back, interrupt, disagree or respond to empathy—so you practise having a consultation, rather than simply working through a checklist.

They are designed to understand a wide range of English accents, including those of IMG candidates. You should be able to speak naturally without slowing down or changing how you sound.

As with any voice system, a clear microphone and a quiet room will give you the best experience.

Yes. Your subscription includes unlimited case generation across the 12 SCA domains.

Each case includes patient information, consultation notes and a mark scheme. You can save it, download it as a PDF or share it with your study group.

Yes. SCA Prep works on phones, tablets and computers, so you can fit in a quick topic between clinics or sit down for a full case at home. The AI Tutor, case library and revision content are all mobile-friendly.

Choose based on how you want to revise:

  • Revision Essential — £14.95/month: AI Tutor, case generation and all revision content. Add AI-patient credits when you need them.
  • SCA Prep + AI Actors — £34.95/month: everything above, plus 15 monthly AI-patient credits, marking and Real Consultation Review.
  • 3-Month Intensive — £95: designed for your final 8–12 weeks, with 50 credits and the full 12-station mock exam included.

Credits remain valid for one year, and every plan can be cancelled from your account.

You receive feedback across all three RCGP domains, including what you did well, important moments you missed and practical ways to improve your wording or approach.

You will also see your likely performance band and domain scores, so you know what to focus on in your next case.

Yes. With SCA Prep + AI Actors or the 3-Month Intensive plan, you can upload a consultation recorded with the patient’s consent, just as you would for an audio-COT.

  • Your audio is deleted immediately after transcription.
  • Names and identifiable details are automatically redacted.
  • You review the transcript before feedback is generated.

The feedback is for exam preparation and focuses on consultation technique—not the clinical care provided.

Yes. Cancel from your account at any time, with no penalty or hidden fee. Your subscription stays active until the end of the billing period, and any unused AI-patient credits remain available until they expire.

SCA Prep is grounded in UK primary care guidance and designed specifically for revision, but AI can still make mistakes.

For decisions that affect a real patient, always check the original guidance and use your own clinical judgement or speak to your supervisor.

SCA Prep was created in 2024 by practising GPs who have been through the exam journey themselves.

We build around the problems trainees actually face: finding someone to practise with, knowing whether an answer is good enough and deciding what to revise next.
