Policy source: Use the latest notice from the relevant examination authority. This guide is maintained by the FCPS Master content team.

Independent study advice
When a new PGET announcement is available, record the application deadline, exam date, eligibility, subjects, question format, time limit, and required documents. Keep the notice and its date with your study plan.
Prepare for the question style
Practise single-best-answer questions with a timer once you know the basic material. Read every option, identify the deciding clue, and explain why the alternatives are less suitable. This builds reasoning rather than recognition alone.

Use a three-pass study cycle
- Coverage: work through the syllabus and make concise notes.
- Retrieval: answer topic-based MCQs without looking at the explanation first.
- Consolidation: revisit wrong answers and mixed timed sets at increasing intervals.

Important terminology
Search results may still use JCAT because it is the name candidates previously used. FCPS Master uses PGET as the current term and keeps JCAT only as a transparent legacy alias.
