Good guidance.. for how to approach the AMC (Australian Medical Council) exam and comprehensive review.
Greetings from Papua New Guinea. At first I didn’t know where to start and how to approach the AMC MCQ exam. Since June 2023 when I started this sessions on AMC preparation the story is different now. The Two lecturers Namely, Dr Swapnil and Dr Udara are exceptionally committed and deliver well. The team is always available to answer to us anytime. They provide great support. I have not done the skill assessment yet, hoping to get that done this week and hopefully I will sit for the exam in November 2023.
The session was informative and worthy. I got to know more career options about the field which currently I'm pursuing. Working internationally, career options overseas, information about pharm. D and MD, etc are the things which is new for me and actually very informative. Interacting with the guest was really helpful and had influenced me positively.
I recently passed the KAPS exam, and I owe a huge thanks to Academically. Their support and guidance helped me throughout my preparation. The teachers were exceptionally kind and explained complex concepts in a way that made them easy to understand. I wholeheartedly recommend Academically to any aspiring individuals preparing for the KAPS exam in the upcoming years. Their excellent support, knowledgeable faculty, and effective teaching methods are the perfect choice for exam preparation.
Academically is a great platform to achieve our dream. I recently joined but the classes they providing is very informative and understandable and they always ready to help and clarify our doubts regarding our KAPS preparation. Thank you so much to team Academically for your valuable support.
Academically is an organisation which able to qualify the Australian KAPS exam. I have good experience with academically. It's provides all necessary knowledge and stuffs for the KAPS.
If I hadn't gotten the right guidance and coaching as I got from Academically, it could have been still very difficult for me. I relied more on recorded lectures, the lectures were very informative to the point, concise and precise. Whenever I asked doubts it was cleared immediately. I have been very lucky to get coaching from Academically.

My heartfelt thanks to Academically for making me pass the KAPS Exam. The lecturers are perfect and you will get guidance according to Australian terms. In my KAPS Exam, 90% questions were from the Academically’s mock test. I would definitely recommend Academically for those who want to migrate to Australia as a pharmacist.

There are plenty of career opportunities in store for overseas dentists in Australia. Skilled and qualified dentists worldwide can become registered dentists in Australia and contribute to dental and oral health in the country.
Clearing the ADC exam is the first step to landing a dentist job in Australia. Both written and practical examinations must be successfully completed before the candidate applies for registration with the Dental Board of Australia.
You need not fly to Australia to attend the written exam as there are exam centres in different cities around the world. However, the practical examinations are conducted in Australia. Once the assessments are cleared, you may apply for a work/PR visa.
There is a procedure known as the initial assessment that checks the eligibility of the candidates to sit the ADC exam. Professional qualifications, registration history, etc. are assessed during this time. Work experience is not mandatory but can be beneficial.
The eligibility to appear for the exam is mentioned below-
The procedure to take the ADC exam and become a registered dentist in Australia can be broadly divided into 4 steps, which are mentioned below-
1)ADC Initial Assessment
The first step of the procedure is the initial assessment by the Australian Dental Council. This process will check if your educational background, registration history, good standing, etc., fit the eligibility criteria for the ADC written exam. An ADC Connect account must be created for this.
2)ADC Written Examination
The written examination is the next step for becoming a dental practitioner in Australia. The ADC written exam evaluates the knowledge of the science and practice of dentistry along with clinical judgement and reasoning required to practise in an Australian setting.
3)English proficiency
During the migration process, proficiency in the English language is mandatory. This can be done by taking English proficiency tests such as IELTS/PTE/OET. Adequate scores in these exams can lead to a smoother visa application process.
4)ADC Practical Examination
The practical examination is the final step of the process. This takes place in Australia over two days. One day is for the evaluation of technical skills and the other for clinical skills.
* For specialist registration (MDS): Register with the Dental Board of Australia (AHPRA) as a general dentist, then apply to register as a specialist with AHPRA.
The ADC exam is divided into two parts: the ADC written exam and the ADC practical exam.
While the written exam can be attended from the exam centres in India, the practical exams need to be taken from Australia.
The practical exam is conducted over two days in which the first day is assigned for assessing technical skills and the second day is assigned for assessing clinical skills.
The ADC exam has various centres across India including the following cities. Hyderabad Pune Surat Ahmedabad Mumbai Noida Chennai Bangalore Gurugram Jalandhar Amritsar
The Australian Dental Council Exam is the exam for overseas-trained dentists seeking registration in Australia.
The ADC written exam can be taken from India. But the ADC practical exam needs to be taken from the test centre in Australia.
The candidate must hold a four-year, full-time university dental degree or diploma, from a recognised university with full and unrestricted registration in the country of practice.
The ADC Miles course by Academically is one of the best courses that will prepare you for both written and practical exams and also connect you with ADC-qualified individuals.
The ADC written exams are conducted twice a year. They are typically held in March and September.
The salary of entry-level positions of dentists start at $112,846 per year. Experienced dentists make up to $190,000 per year.
The results of the ADC written exam will be released approximately 6 weeks after the exam date. The results will be shared via email.
Dentists have the opportunity to obtain a PR visa in Australia.
The Australian Dental Council (ADC) typically takes approximately 12 weeks to complete the skill assessment of dentists.
The eligibility criteria for the ADC exam are:
To apply for the ADC exam, use ADC Connect. Create an account, ensure your initial assessment is valid, verify your identification documents, fill out the application form, pay the required fees, and await confirmation.
The written exam is a multiple-choice question (MCQ) exam that occurs on two consecutive days. It includes 280 questions, split into four sections, each comprising 70 questions. Each examination will feature 56 scenarios (clinical vignettes), with each scenario accompanied by five related questions.
The practical examination consists of two components:
The costs for the ADC exam are as follows: the initial assessment fee is AUD 647, the written exam fee is AUD 2122, and the practical exam fee is AUD 4775. Additionally, there will be expenses for books, study materials, preparation courses, and travel.
Over the past four years, more people have taken the exams, but fewer have passed. In FY2020, out of 686 candidates, 50% passed. In FY2021, with 1,169 candidates, only 44% passed. In FY2022, the pass rate dropped to 24% out of 1,284 candidates. This trend continued in FY2023, where 2,246 candidates also had a pass rate of just 24%. The failure rate in the last two years was 76%.
Preparing for the ADC exam requires a comprehensive approach. Start by thoroughly understanding the exam structure and syllabus. Gather and review recommended study materials. Create a study schedule that covers all exam topics and allows time for revision. Practice clinical and technical skills rigorously for the practical exam. Enrol in preparation courses to gain structured guidance to pass the exam on the first attempt.
ADC has recommended a list of books for the ADC written and clinical examination. The list can be found here- https://academically.com/blogs/adc-exam-preparation-important-books-to-pass/
The ADC Written Exam is held twice yearly, in March and April. The ADC practical exam is held twice, between January to May and between September to December.
The ADC exam centres are located in Australia and other countries. The exam centres in India are Hyderabad, Pune, Surat, Ahemadabad, Mumbai, Noida, Chennai, Banglore, Gurugram, Jalandhar, and Amritsar.
If you do not pass the written examination, you may reapply for another attempt, provided that you:
The validity of the initial assessment is seven years, and the written exam is three years. The validity of the practical exam does not expire.
Overseas dentists can take the ADC exam after the initial assessment.
The ADC written examination is structured into four sections, each containing 70 questions, making a total of 280 questions. The examination includes 56 scenarios (clinical vignettes), each with five related questions.
