Here are a few success stories of students who have cleared the AMC examination with the help of Academically. Learn about their tips, tricks, strategies, and their comprehensive journey in making this dream a reality.

Dr. Prateek Singh- Completed Education from Ukraine, Moved to Australia

Initially, Dr. Prateek Singh was thinking of taking the PLAB examination as it could lead him to one of the greatest countries, the United Kingdom. However, he had completed his medical degree from Ukraine, and due to the war situation in the area, it had become difficult to verify his degree, which caused complications in his PLAB journey. 

Just then, he came to know about the AMC examination, which turned out to be an easier and better pathway. His AMC preparation journey lasted around 7 to 8 months. However, he believes that with a dedicated schedule, any medical graduate can prepare for the AMC exam in just 4 to 5 months.

Dr. Prateek Singh discovered Academically through Dr. Akram's YouTube video, and this video became a turning point for him. According to him, finding the right resources to prepare for AMC is a major hurdle. However, Academically’s structured material helps students like him navigate the AMC process with clarity and prepare with a high chance of success. 

Dr. Prateek balanced his AMC studies alongside his internship in Patiala. He began with 3 to 4 hours of daily study, and gradually increased his schedule to 8 to 9 hours as the exam approached. He dedicated his final month exclusively to revision of the material he had already studied.

Today, after clearing his AMC exam, Dr. Prateek is now exploring internship opportunities in the regional areas of Australia.

Dr. Veena Chadha: Fulfilled Her Long-Standing Dream of Moving Abroad

After completing her graduation long ago and even pursuing her post-graduation from India, Dr. Veenal Chadha still felt a void in her career. She had a long-standing dream of moving abroad, and as her dream was unfulfilled, she was not fully content with her career. On discovering the AMC pathway through Academically, she was overwhelmed with happiness.

Initially, when she learnt about the AMC examination, she got scared on looking at the complex syllabus and unclear pathways. However, Academically provided a structured approach and comprehensive study resources, which made the journey easier for her. Dr. Veenal believes in the importance of multiple revisions and medical experience, which helped her grasp concepts quickly.

Her advice to future aspirant is to pursue the exam soon after MBBS, while their medical knowledge is still fresh. Dr. Veenal’s story proves that it is never too late to follow your dreams.

Dr. Sarva Priya- Aced AMC With Strong Basics

For Dr. Sarva Priya, the key to clearing the Australian Medical Council exam on the very first attempt lies in having a strong foundation in the medical subjects. He believes that solid concepts from medical school combined with the right preparation strategy can pave the way for success. 

Joining Academically’s AMC preparation course gave him the added advantage that he needed. He highlights the importance of mocks, recalls, and especially the AI-based mock tests offered by Academically, which helped him adapt to the exam-like situations. Dr. Sarva believes that understanding questions and answering them using basic clinical reasoning, rather than rote memorisation, is what all AMC aspirants must do.

Dr.Sarva also supplemented his AMC preparation with the AMC guidelines book, which is an essential resource for IMGs targeting the AMC examination. He completed her preparation within around six months while managing studies alongside work. His journey proves that a combination of smart work and write tools can turn an aspirant into a winner.

Dr. Ojaswini- A Fresh Start and a Quick AMC Victory

Dr. Ojaswini’s journey is a short story of quick adaptation and sharp focus. After clearing the FMGE exam in June 2024, she started preparing for the AMC exam with the aspiration of moving to Australia. She had no clinical experience, but this did not stop her from pursuing her goals as the AMC exam demands no prior experience. She discovered Academically online, which turned out to be the perfect companion for her preparation.

She attended live and recorded sessions while balancing her internship with AMC studies. She also created her own short notes based on Academically’s detailed materials, which proved to be extremely helpful, especially in the last months of revision. She believes that AI-driven mocked tests and recall sessions played a vital role in making her ready for the examination. 

Within 4 to 5 months of preparation, she successfully cleared the AMC examination. This is quite a remarkable achievement for a person like her who was managing both academic preparation and practical training simultaneously. Now, Dr. Ojaswini is focused on preparing for the AMC clinical examination alongside her ongoing internship. 

Dr. Priyanka: Chose Australia for Ethical Medical Practice

Growing up in a family of doctors in Mysore, medicine runs deep in the roots of Dr. Priyanka. However, even after years of work experience and running her own maternity hospital, she felt that something was missing in her medical career. Ethical lapses in India's healthcare system were a big reason she chose to pursue her medical practice in Australia. 

She began her AMC journey in May 2024 with Academically. However, it took almost a month for Priyanka to settle into her study routine. With time, she intensified her efforts and started balancing six hours of study every day while also pursuing her private practice. In the final month before the examination, she stopped seeing patients and ramped up her preparation to 10 hours per day.

With the help of Academically, comprehensive notes, presentations, mock tests and AI-driven assessments, she was able to prepare for the examination in the least possible time. She prepared for, took, and cleared the AMC examination in four months. And that's not just it— she also got a job as a senior registrar in Australia within four months of clearing the AMC examination.
