Practise the moment the examiner asks why.
Practise realistic oral stations with an AI examiner or role-player. Answer aloud, then use specific feedback to guide your next attempt.
Each pathway uses original stations written for that exam, with its own timing, candidate tasks, interactions and marking criteria.

Three critical care colleges.
Six purpose-built pathways.
Six oral examinations across ACEM, ANZCA and CICM, each with its own stations, timing and marking criteria.
Inside a practice station
The station responds to what you actually say.
The AI examiner follows your answer and asks further questions within the station’s timing and structure.
Check the instructions and timing for your station.
Answer aloud or by text while the examiner or role-player reacts to what you actually say.
Review your feedback, marking criteria and transcript.
Your practice
From station to feedback.
Explain your decisions and respond to questions or conversation.
Examination activeSee examples from your answer alongside the station’s marking criteria.
Know what to practise next.
AI feedback can help you gauge your readiness, but cannot guarantee exam success.
Support between stations
Build on every attempt.
Your learning journey brings together recurring strengths and difficulties across your attempts.
Work through them with your AI coach using short spoken exercises, saved reminders and suggestions for your next station.
Included coaching minutes and unlock requirements vary by plan.
“Your feedback across several stations mentions long answers that lose focus. Do you find it difficult to decide what matters, or do you know what matters but worry about leaving something out?”
“I worry that anything I leave out could cost me marks.”
“Then working on shorter answers alone won’t address that worry. Let’s look at one of your attempts alongside its marking criteria and separate the detail that supported your answer from the detail that distracted from it.”
