About this exam

The HKCFP Conjoint MCQ is the written component of the Conjoint Fellowship Examination run by the Hong Kong College of Family Physicians (HKCFP) with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). It sits within the College's Vocational Training & Examinations pathway, alongside the Clinical Competency Examination (CCE). The College publishes a dedicated Conjoint Exam section covering eligibility and requirements, exam construct, exam conduct and misconduct, suggested reading, election to Fellowship, and exam fees and dates - these pages, not third-party summaries, are the authoritative reference for candidates. The examination is intended for doctors in vocational family medicine training who are working toward Fellowship, and it assesses the breadth of family medicine practice rather than a single subspecialty. Because the College does not enumerate content domains in the retrieved source, candidates should treat the published exam construct and suggested reading list as the syllabus and build a study plan around them. Practical preparation means reading the exam construct carefully, working through the suggested reading, and rehearsing multiple-choice technique under timed conditions. Confirm your eligibility, the applicable fees and the important dates directly with the College before applying, and check the site regularly for announcements.

What you'll study

Common questions

About HKCFP Conjoint MCQ preparation

What is the HKCFP Conjoint MCQ part of?

It is the written examination within the HKCFP/RACGP Conjoint Fellowship Examination. The College's Conjoint Exam pages list eligibility and requirements, exam construct, exam conduct and misconduct, suggested reading, election to Fellowship, and exam fees and dates. Read those pages first, since they are the official reference for the written paper.

Who should sit the Conjoint written examination?

It is aimed at doctors progressing through vocational family medicine training toward Fellowship. The College publishes eligibility and requirements on its Conjoint Exam pages. Check your own training status against those requirements before applying, and contact the Secretariat if your position is unclear rather than relying on assumptions.

How many questions are there and how long is the paper?

The retrieved College source does not state the item count or the time allowed for the written paper. Do not rely on figures from older sittings or from other candidates. Confirm the current format with the College through the Conjoint Exam pages or the Secretariat before you plan your timing practice.

What does the exam cover?

The College publishes an exam construct and a suggested reading list for the Conjoint Examination, and those are the best available statement of what is assessed. The retrieved source does not enumerate content domains or weightings, so build your revision around the published construct and reading list rather than guessing at topic percentages.

How should I order my preparation?

Start with the published exam construct so you know the shape of the paper, then work systematically through the suggested reading list. Add timed multiple-choice practice once the content is familiar, and review your errors by topic. Leave time to re-read the exam conduct and misconduct page so administrative mistakes do not cost you.

What are common reasons candidates do poorly?

Typical causes are preparing from outdated second-hand summaries instead of the College's current construct and reading list, and neglecting timed practice so that pacing collapses under examination conditions. Another is ignoring the exam conduct and misconduct guidance. Verify all format and date details directly with the College before the sitting.

Can I retake the examination if I fail?

The retrieved College source does not set out a retake policy for the Conjoint written examination. Policies and any associated fees can change between sittings. Ask the College Secretariat directly about retake eligibility, timing and cost rather than assuming the rules from a previous year or from another candidate's experience.

When is the next examination and what does it cost?

The College publishes exam fees and important dates on its Conjoint Exam pages, and these are the only reliable source. The retrieved source does not state a fee or a written-paper date, so check the current pages or the Secretariat before making travel or leave arrangements. The CCE is announced for 1 November 2026 (Sunday).

Is this page officially connected to the College?

No. This is independent study material and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by the Hong Kong College of Family Physicians or the RACGP. Always treat the College's own published pages as authoritative for eligibility, format, fees and dates, and verify anything here against them before you act on it.
