Cases by GP trainers
Every case is written by experienced GP trainers, reviewed for clinical and exam accuracy, and updated when RCGP guidance moves. No AI-generated scripts. No recycled question banks.

The case is the unit. Everything else lives inside it.
Every case is a complete pack — doctor’s briefing, patient role-play script, a marking scheme mapped to the three SCA domains, the key issues, and a management plan written to current UK guidelines. From inside it you can launch group practice, score live, or send the recording to AI marking.
- Five tabs in every case — Doctor Notes, Patient Notes, Marking, Key Issues, Management
- Built-in 12-minute timer — pause, restart, or roll into AI marking when time’s up
- Aligned to UK guidelines — NICE, CKS, BNF, RCGP, updated as guidance changes
- Written by exam-passing GP trainers — never AI-generated, every case reviewed
- Bilateral sensorineural hearing loss
- Hypertension
- Amlodipine 5mg OD
- NKDA
What people say about the cases.
Anonymised feedback from trainees who passed the SCA after using SCA Revision. Collected after results day — nothing incentivised, edited or pre-screened.
I thought these cases were the closest to real exam cases from the popular question banks out there — by far.
The case bank was the most useful feature for me. It covered a wide range of SCA topics and prepared me very well. I passed all the stations.
Really helpful bank of cases. There were no horrible surprises in the exam after I’d been through the majority of the cases.
Cases were very reflective of the SCA. The only resource I have been recommending to fellow GP trainees for their SCA prep.
A guided tour of one case.
Every case opens to a navy header, a five-tab body and a 12-minute timer. Here’s what lives in each tab — built around our renal colic case.
- Nil of note
- HCA · urine dip — blood ++
The doctor’s briefing as the consultation begins — name, age, occupation, history, current meds, allergies and recent contacts. Exactly what you’d see opening a real GP record.
You are Rhys Caldwell, a 41 year old self-employed plumber. Your wife brought you in after a frightening episode of pain on Saturday that has since settled.
“Hi Doc, I had the worst pain of my life on Saturday. Thank god it’s gone now…”
The full patient script — case summary, opening sentence, open history, and the patient’s ideas, concerns and expectations. Detailed enough for a non-medic partner to role-play convincingly.
6 to 8 marking criteria per SCA domain — positive and negative — for data gathering, clinical management and relating. Tag each, watch the banded outcome update live.
The examiner’s perspective — the issues a candidate is actually tested on, why each matters in this exact case, and which RCGP capabilities they map to. Not a generic checklist.
From everything you’ve described, what you had on Saturday sounds very much like a kidney stone — the sudden, severe one-sided pain wrapping to the groin, the vomiting…
Renal colic is the acute pain caused by a stone passing through the upper urinary tract, most often a ureteric stone obstructing flow from the renal pelvis…
A plain-English clinical write-up keyed to the case — how you’d explain the diagnosis, the assessment and management itself, links to the original NICE / CKS / BNF sources, plus the date it was last reviewed.
A 12-minute exam-pace timer is built into every case — visible from every tab, anchored at the bottom. Hit play when the consultation starts, pause if you need to, or kick the recording straight into AI marking when time’s up.
375 cases, sorted the way you’d revise.
Filter by curriculum topic, body system, presentation, difficulty or SCA domain. Search by keyword. Or hit randomise and let the platform pick the next case. Cases you’ve done are marked complete, so you always know what’s left.
- Filter by clinical topic — 22 topics aligned to the RCGP curriculum
- Keyword search — find every case touching “palpitations” or “contraception”
- Randomise — one button picks an unfinished case from the whole bank or a topic
- Three views — list, grid or priority order
I love how the website is very well-organised and contains all the information you need at a quick glance.Passed the SCA · 2026

Breaking bad news
There are no good ways to break bad news. There are only ways that respect the person hearing it.
Pace is the difference between a patient who feels heard and one who feels processed.
01Slow down before you start
The opening 30 seconds set the entire consultation. Signal that something serious is coming and check the patient is ready to hear it.
