The Complete AMC Clinical Candidate Guide: How to Use OSCE Revisions

The AMC Clinical candidate guide is the free map of how OSCE Revisions works for the Australian exam — 20 stations, eTG/RACGP/PBS framing, pass 9 of 14 scored stations, and the loop from a graded attempt to a Professor debrief. No signup is required to read this page or download the PDF.

This is a platform walkthrough. Confirm live rules on the AMC clinical examination page before you sit. Start from the AMC clinical exam hub when you want the commercial landing page.

Sitting PLAB 2 or MLA OSCE? Those are UK circuits. Use PLAB 2 preparation or MLA OSCE. Do not practise NICE or BNF pathways as if they were AMC — that is one of the fastest ways to lose marks.

Who this guide is for

This guide is for IMGs on the Standard Pathway who have passed (or are about to sit) the AMC CAT MCQ and are preparing for the AMC Clinical Exam.

It is not for PLAB 2, UKMLA CPSA, or a UK school OSCE. Unlike NICE, CKS, BNF, NHS or GMC pathways, AMC management, dosing and counselling on this platform cite Australian sources by name — RACGP, eTG (Therapeutic Guidelines), PBS, and related Australian bodies.

What AMC Clinical looks like on the platform

The AMC library is separate and localised: 1,800+ Australian-localised stations (live count 1,894, tagged AMC only) and 1,900+ AMC notes (live 1,909). Start Here opens on a dedicated Australian Core. Exam tips on the AMC enrichment set are 8,000+.

Circuit on the product (aligned to the AMC page):

Element	Position
Total stations	20 (16 assessed + 4 rest)
Scored	14 (2 silent pilots — treat every station as scored)
Timing	2 min reading + 8 min assessment
Viva	None
Station pass	Global rating ≥4/7
Exam pass	9 of 14 scored stations, no averaging

Older documents said 10 of 14. That changed from 21 March 2024. Use the live AMC page, not archived PDFs.

The study loop that actually works

1. Learn — Start Here on the AMC Core, Frameworks, AMC notes, Exam Tips, Clinical Skills.
2. Practise — Station Scenarios against Australian cases (voice or text).
3. Review — AMC scorecard, Discuss with Professor, personalised note if paid.
4. Simulate — 20-station Mock Exams with the 9-of-14 result screen.

Half your time should be Practise, Review and Simulate. Australian context is the whole exam — see AMC Australian context.

• Analytics — score, pass rate, weak specialties, domain trends.

What one station looks like, end to end

1. Read the brief — 2 minutes outside the room. Decide the Australian approach here.
2. Choose Voice or Text.
3. Eight-minute assessment — no viva. At zero: “Time up. Please leave the station.”
4. Grading — 13 domains, 7-point scale, global rating. Station pass at ≥4/7.
5. Discuss with Professor — “Where did I lose marks and why?” after the station.
6. Optional paid note — generate, then retry.

Say the Australian source out loud when management is the task: “I would follow eTG for this” is a mark-winning habit, not decoration.
