Ireland's most comprehensive GP training exam prep: SJT, CPST, and interview coaching built for ICGP GP training selection.
★★★★★ Join 2,000+ doctors preparing for GP training selection
Situational Judgement Test
50% of your ICGP selection score comes from the SJT. Half your result is decided here, which is exactly why structured preparation beats guesswork. The SJT asks you to rank responses to realistic clinical and professional situations. It's not about memorising facts. It tests how safely, ethically and professionally you think under pressure.
Can you choose the safest, most professional response when several options sound reasonable?
Learn how the rules of the SJT actually work: safety first, escalation, consent, confidentiality, teamwork and professional boundaries.
Practise realistic scenarios and see why the strongest answer is right, and why each tempting alternative loses marks.
Track patterns in your mistakes, surface your weakest domains, and keep practising until those weak points become your strengths.
Work through a real scenario below. Rank the responses, submit, and see exactly how your thinking compares to the expert benchmark.
You are an intern in A&E. A 28-year-old man is brought in having been assaulted. He has significant facial injuries. While examining him, he tells you confidentially that the assault was carried out by a named individual who he knows, and that he is 'absolutely certain' this person has attacked others and will do so again. He explicitly says he does not want the Gardaí involved.
Clinical Problem Solving Test
10% of your ICGP selection score comes from the CPST. Every mark here counts, which is why the best preparation is working through real scenarios with proper explanations, not just rote-learning guidelines. Each question presents a clinical stem with one best answer. It tests whether you can reason accurately under pressure, not just recall facts.
Can you apply the right clinical reasoning when several answers sound plausible?
Work through a real CPST scenario below and check your answer against the full clinical breakdown.
A 55-year-old man with CKD stage 3b (eGFR 38 ml/min/1.73m²), hypertension, and a urine ACR of 8 mg/mmol requires antihypertensive treatment to slow CKD progression. Which blood pressure target and medication choice is most appropriate?
Interview Preparation
The ICGP interview assesses you across 6 competency domains, each with a structured scoring rubric most candidates never see. GP Journey's knowledge base walks you through every domain with model answers and examiner-aligned guidance, so you know exactly what strong looks like. Then our AI interview simulator puts you in realistic panel conditions: speak your answers aloud, get scored, and receive written feedback after every session.
Here's the difference preparation makes.
