FAQ
Questions and answers
Answers about the platform, the diagnostic, mock exams and billing. Anything not covered here can be sent to support.
The platform
No. AMC Ready is an independent preparation product. Questions are written in the style of the examination but are not AMC questions, and the AMC website is the authoritative source for the examination rules, dates and fees.
International medical graduates preparing for the AMC CAT MCQ, whether studying full time or alongside clinical work. The platform covers clinical knowledge, question practice and timed assessment.
Adult health in medicine and surgery, women's health, child health, mental health, population health and professional practice, emergency medicine, and diagnostics and investigations, weighted as the AMC blueprint weights them.
Questions and explanations are written to the CAT MCQ format and reviewed against the clinical domains. Every explanation names the Australian guideline or clinical principle it relies on.
Yes. Vignettes are set in Australian hospitals and general practices, and explanations follow Australian guidance, including the Therapeutic Guidelines and the relevant national clinical guidelines.
Yes. Daily Study, practice, recall and the knowledge organiser are designed for use on a phone. Full mock exams also work on a phone, although a larger screen is recommended.
The diagnostic and study plan
About 14 minutes for 12 questions. There is no time limit, although working at exam pace gives the most useful result.
No. An account is created at the end to save the result and generate the study plan. No card details are required.
A score for each of the eight clinical domains and overall, the domains that most need attention, and an explanation for every question.
From your exam date, your weekly hours and your diagnostic result. Weekly targets are weighted by each domain's share of the blueprint and by where your baseline is lowest.
The plan recalculates the remaining weeks. Missed work is absorbed into the new targets rather than carried forward as a backlog.
Mock exams and progress
Four formats. A mini mock across mixed domains, domain tests in adult medicine and adult surgery, and a full weighted paper. One mini mock is included in the free tier.
No. The adaptive algorithm is the AMC's own. Mocks here are fixed-length papers weighted across the domains and run at the same pace of about 1.4 minutes a question, which is what makes timing and breadth practicable to rehearse.
Yes. Every mock runs at exam pace with a visible timer, flagging and review before submission.
Score by clinical domain and for the paper as a whole, time per question against exam pace, the five concepts that cost the most marks, and a full review with a rationale for every option.
From every answered question, weighted by recency and by the conditions it was answered under. Timed mock questions carry more weight than untimed practice, and the estimate reports a confidence rating that reflects the evidence behind it.
Yes. Every question remains available for review, with the explanation for each option and a link to the relevant knowledge organiser entry.
