“PassGP and especially Dr George is amazing! I had failed KFP five times. This was my last chance. I had given up hope. He is kind, understanding, encouraging and completely up to the mark on how to study, how to approach the exam and how to get the right answers.
His course is worth every cent. It's an investment in your career! Other courses just give you hundreds of websites no one could read in a hundred years. Don't waste your time or money on them.”
- Dr Catherine Lehmann
Stories from doctors who found a way forward.
Some doctors came to PassGP before their first attempt. Others came after an unsuccessful result had shaken their confidence or changed plans they had worked towards for years. Each was balancing preparation with clinical work, family and the private pressure of an examination that mattered deeply. These are their experiences, shared in their own words.
No two journeys are the same. We are grateful to every doctor who has chosen to share theirs.
We understand what sits behind the result
An unsuccessful examination can make an excellent doctor question everything.
It can affect confidence, family life, finances, registration, career plans and your sense of belonging in medicine. Often, the medicine is not the problem. Doctors do not need blame or another instruction to work harder. They need someone to listen, understand where the marks are being lost and help them find a clearer way forward.
Finding confidence after a second attempt.
Google★★★★★75+ five-star reviews“I am incredibly grateful to George for his outstanding support and guidance in helping me pass my fellowship clinical exams (CCE). Having faced the challenge of a second attempt, I can confidently say that my performance this time around was vastly improved - and George played a pivotal role in that success.
From the outset, George helped me decode the true essence of the exam - what the examiners were looking for, how to structure my responses, and how to approach each clinical scenario with clarity, confidence and precision. His ability to simplify complex expectations and provide a structured framework made all the difference.
George is a natural teaching talent. His insights, encouragement and strategic approach not only boosted my competence but also restored my confidence. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone preparing for clinical exams. His support was instrumental in turning a challenging journey into a triumphant one.”

Fellowship examination stories
When hard work has not yet led to the result you hoped for.
Several of these doctors had already studied extensively and were capable clinicians. Their stories describe the disappointment of an unsuccessful attempt, the loss of confidence that can follow and what changed when they learnt how to make their clinical judgement visible under examination conditions.
“Thank you, George, for your outstanding support, guidance, and the incredibly valuable question banks and 1:1 sessions. Your course made a huge difference in helping me understand the KFP exam format. I had previously struggled to pass, but your clear teaching style and structured approach made it achievable. I truly couldn't have done it without your help.
I highly recommend the PassGP course to anyone preparing for their fellowship exams - it's a game changer.”
- Dr Zahra Haroun
“I would highly recommend this course to all RACGP fellowship exam candidates. I attended the CCE course and 1:1 tutoring sessions and I must say I learnt a lot. I passed the CCE exam. The course is very useful in terms of paying attention to key points with a structured approach in a timely manner.
A huge thank you to Associate Professor George and the team from the bottom of my heart.”
- Dr Ma Win
“Signed up for this after a webinar run by one of their examiners. Found it an excellent course that helped me pass the KFP, and the CCE on the first attempt. The way the course was structured, with the information and phone apps to complement it, suited my style of studying well.
I would highly recommend this course for those sitting the RACGP exams and looking for study courses for AKT, KFP or CCE.”
- Dr Juvi
“I had an excellent experience with Dr George from PassGP. He played a crucial role in helping me prepare for the CCE exam. What stands out the most is how he can expertly decode the exam's requirements and provide strategies that genuinely work. I was able to undertake 1:1 mock exam cases with him, and his feedback was detailed, practical and tailored to my needs - making me feel much more confident on exam day.
Another highlight is Dr George's impressive academic library. He has a huge bank of clinical cases organised by system categories such as cardiology, paediatrics, geriatrics and women's health. This systematic approach made it easy for me to focus on my weaker areas and access relevant practice material quickly.
Dr George's experience and personalised support make him highly recommended for anyone facing the CCE exam and looking for a knowledgeable, supportive GP educator.”
- Dr Alisha Panwar
“George and the PassGP team were a wonderful addition to my exam preparation. PassGP and its tutors have many tips and tricks to help you structure your thoughts and focus on the most important areas for the RACGP exams. Highly recommended A+.”
- Dr Em Danas
A clearer structure, and confidence restored.
Google★★★★★Read every review“I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Associate Professor George Eskander from PassGP for his exceptional 1-to-1 teaching sessions. His guidance was truly transformative - he identified my weak areas with precision, corrected my structure, and helped me develop the clear, confident communication style that the AMC Clinical exam requires.
Each session was focused, insightful and tailored exactly to my needs. Thanks to his mentorship and feedback, I was able to approach my exam with confidence and successfully pass.
For anyone preparing for the AMC Clinical exam, I strongly recommend booking 1-to-1 sessions with Dr George - his teaching is genuinely exam-oriented and makes all the difference.”

Clinical and pathway examinations
Support that met each doctor where they were.
Doctors preparing for clinical and pathway examinations describe being listened to, receiving honest individual feedback and practising until the knowledge they already had became easier to express under pressure.
“I admire Dr George Eskander for his incredible work and all his efforts to make things very simple and easy for doctors through their tough journey of Australian exams. God bless you, Dr George Eskander - I passed my PESCI exam after following your enlightened path. I highly recommend PassGP to all candidates appearing in Australian GP exams.”
- Dr Bond
“The AMC Clinical exam is doable if approached in the right way. The two key players were a 1:1 session with George, which refined my clinical interviewing skills drastically and broadened my perspective. The second player was the question bank, which is beautifully succinct with critical points in each case, especially counselling ones.
In the end I tested my stamina and nerves with a 14-circuit mock, which boosted my confidence further. The cherry on top was George's instant support available 24/7.”
- Dr Fatima Tahir
“Passed AMC Clinical on my first try. Thanks Dr Eskander and the team. I only had two to three months to prepare for the exam, and that was while working. PassGP helped me cover so much in such a short time. Highly recommend!”
- Dr T A
“Thank you for the exceptional support, work and guidance in helping pave my way to successfully getting to the point of achieving everything that I've worked so hard for all these years. Dr George is the best of the best!”
- Dr Kellie Mansfield

Your Questions Answered
Which examinations do these doctor stories discuss?
The stories cover RACGP Fellowship preparation, including KFP and CCE, alongside AMC Clinical and PESCI. The Fellowship accounts discuss understanding the KFP format, structuring CCE responses and using individual mock cases and feedback. AMC Clinical accounts include clinical interviewing, communication and case practice.
Doctors describe both first-attempt preparation and returning after an unsuccessful result, with the examination and support used providing context for each account.
Are these stories only from first-attempt candidates?
No. The page includes doctors who came to PassGP before their first attempt and others who sought help after an unsuccessful result. Dr Ololade Faleye describes preparing for a second CCE attempt and working on how to structure responses and approach clinical scenarios with greater clarity. Dr Zahra Haroun describes previously struggling to pass and finding the KFP teaching and structure helpful.
There are first-attempt accounts too: Dr Juvi reports passing KFP and CCE on the first attempt, and Dr T A describes preparing for AMC Clinical while working. These are different personal histories, not one standard preparation pathway.
What kinds of support do the doctors describe?
Doctors describe question banks, one-to-one teaching, mock cases and individual feedback. In the fellowship stories, Dr Zahra Haroun discusses question banks and 1:1 sessions for understanding KFP, while Dr Alisha Panwar describes CCE mock cases, practical feedback and clinical cases organised by system to focus on weaker areas.
The AMC Clinical accounts highlight related but distinct skills. Dr Atiqa Badwa describes work on response structure and clinical communication; Dr Fatima Tahir describes clinical interviewing, a case question bank and a 14-circuit mock. These examples show what those doctors used and found helpful, rather than establishing that every preparation package contains the same support.
How can I ask about support for my exam and preparation needs?
Use Talk to us to contact PassGP. Include your examination, intended timeline and the type of support you are looking for—for example, response structure, clinical communication, understanding exam requirements or feedback on mock cases.
If you are preparing after an unsuccessful attempt, explain what you would like to work on and any study-time constraints from clinical work or family commitments. These details help focus the conversation on your preparation needs.
