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.

Success Stories
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.

On joining Academically’s APC Preparation Course, I found that the remote and recorded sessions were highly beneficial since the time difference was huge. The course helped me study from global experts but at my own pace and time. The support and motivation provided by the instructors played a major role in my success. I thank Academically for providing the necessary resources and structure that helped me navigate the APC exam successfully.

About The OPRA Examination
What is the OPRA Exam?
There is a consistent demand for healthcare professionals, especially pharmacists, in Australia. That’s why Australia is inviting internationally trained pharmacists to work in their country. To get a job in Australia, a pharmacist must clear the OPRA Exam.
The Knowledge Assessment of Pharmaceutical Sciences (KAPS) exam was the qualifying exam for pharmacists in Australia. Beginning in March 2025, the OPRA exam will replace the KAPS exam. While this transition introduces a new exam format, the level of difficulty remains unchanged.
The OPRA exam evaluates whether candidates possess the essential knowledge and understanding of the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and clinical sciences fundamental to practising pharmacy in Australia. It ensures that pharmacists trained overseas meet the Australian standards required to practise as registered pharmacists in the country.
Once you clear this exam, you can apply for a job, earn well, and have a chance to get a work and PR Visa.

Procedure for OPRA
1. Initial Skill Assessment by Australian Pharmacy Council

Once you clear this initial assessment, then you will be eligible to appear for the OPRA Exam.

The OPRA Exam is an online computer-based exam, which you can take from the choice of a test centre in your home country. The exam is conducted thrice a yearly in March, July, and November.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you are aiming to complete your exam before the transition, taking KAPS in November might be a good option, as it will be the last time it is offered. However, if you are planning for the future or if the timing does not work for you, preparing for the OPRA exam could be a better choice.
If you have already registered for the KAPS exam or completed your skills assessment, you can sit for the KAPS exam in the November attempt. However, if you haven't registered yet, you need to act quickly and apply for the November KAPS exam, as it will be the last time it is conducted
According to the APC, the difficulty level of the OPRA exam remains the same as that of the KAPS exam. However, the shorter exam duration and different scoring methodology may present new challenges. These can be managed effectively with the right resources and thorough preparation, as provided by the best OPRA Exam Preparation Course.
The exam will be tested according to the Rasch methodology. The scoring pattern is based on the level of difficult questions attempted.
Yes, the OPRA exam costs AUD 2190, which is less than the KAPS exam.
There will be no change in the eligibility and registration process for OPRA. It will be the same as that of the KAPS exam.
If you have already registered or completed your skills assessment for the KAPS exam, it is advisable to take the KAPS exam in November. Delaying and taking the exam in March may involve adapting to a revised syllabus and a shorter exam duration. Opting for the current KAPS format, which you are already familiar with, could be more advantageous.
If you wish to take only the KAPS exam, you should complete your skills assessment and register for the November KAPS exam. This will be the last opportunity to take the KAPS exam.
If you have given the KAPS part 1, you do not need to retake the OPRA again. You have to take the KAPS exam only, even if you fail the November KAPS exam.
The syllabus for the OPRA exam will be similar to that of the KAPS exam, but it will include additional emphasis on therapeutics and practical application to align with current Australian pharmacy practice standards.
