AMC Clinical questions answered
What is the format of the AMC Clinical exam?
It is a structured clinical exam of 16 assessed stations. Each station has 2 minutes of reading time and 8 minutes to complete the tasks, covering medicine, surgery, women's health, child health, mental health and emergencies. Always check the current format and dates on the AMC website.
Can I sit the AMC Clinical before passing the MCQ?
No. On the Standard pathway you need to pass the AMC MCQ first. Some candidates complete an accredited workplace-based assessment instead of the clinical exam.
Do I need a study partner?
Stations work best with a partner playing the patient and examiner, and each station gives them separate notes. You can also practise solo by answering out loud and marking yourself against the checklist and model approach.
How are the stations marked here?
Each station has a marking checklist of 9 to 12 items with critical items flagged. It is a self-marked practice score to find weak areas, not a prediction of your AMC result.
Are these real AMC stations?
No. The AMC does not release its stations. Every station here is original, written in the AMC style and mapped to the disciplines and task types the exam assesses.
