Dates are from the RCGP's exam dates and booking page and reasonable adjustments page, as shown on our SCA dates and fees page. The RCGP notes that dates can change. Each diet runs over several exam days and you are given a date within it. Staged payments apply to bookings: a deposit, a second payment and the balance by the final booking deadline. Payments are not taken automatically, so diarise each one; the exact timings: check RCGP.

How long have you got?

The first exam day of this diet is 8 Jun 2027. Count back from there to plan your weeks.

What to do now, by weeks remaining

Find the row that matches the time you have left and start there. This is our suggested plan, not RCGP guidance.

  1. 12 weeks or more. Book before 16 Apr 2027 and diarise each staged payment. If you need adjustments, apply by the RCGP deadline (22 Mar 2027). Read how the SCA is marked and do five free cases to find your baseline.
  2. 8 to 12 weeks. Build a routine: two or three timed cases most days, marked against the three domains. Start a study group. Use the SCA Guide 12-week plan if you want a structure.
  3. 4 to 8 weeks. Widen your range: telephone cases, third parties, results, prescribing requests and challenging conversations. Sit your first full mock exam and note which domain slips across several cases.
  4. 2 to 4 weeks. Second mock exam. Fix two habits, not ten. Practise opening, explaining and safety-netting until they sound like you, not a script. Check your room, camera, microphone and internet against the RCGP's examination day guide.
  5. Final week. Keep cases light: a few a day to stay warm. Sleep, plan the day, and have your ID and setup ready. Re-read the RCGP day guide.
  6. Results day. Results are published at 17:00 on 13 Jul 2027. Read the feedback statements alongside the RCGP's feedback statements page. If you need to resit, read SCA resit advice before choosing a new date.

Practise for this diet

Start with the free SCA cases, then work through the consultation types the SCA covers: results, prescribing, breaking bad news, challenging conversations, third parties and telephone cases. Use the Hot Seat for timed cases and the mock exam for full diets. If English is not your first language, the IMG Track and our advice for IMGs may help.
