Most common mistakes in the exam are related to questions about critical care, emergency care, and advanced life support. Candidates who do not use Australian resources are more likely to answer statistics questions incorrectly in the exam. Immunization, preventive medicine, and healthy lifestyles are other areas frequently tested in the exam.

• You should use the AMC Handbook of MCQs, John Murtagh’s General Practice, Harrison's Internal Medicine, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, Anthology of Medical Conditions, and past papers. We use all these resources to build MCQs. Every AMC MCQ Exam has a small number of recalls, so it is strongly advised to use other resources as well to build a strong knowledge basis. Practice of MCQs with a study partner or online with explanations enabled are great ways to prepare.
