Remember that these questions are for practice purposes only and may not reflect the exact format or content of the AMC examination.
It is advised to study a wide range of medical information and clinical abilities in order to get ready for the AMC CAT exam. Reviewing medical texts, taking review classes, and exercising with practise tests can all be helpful. It’s also a good idea to become familiar with the layout and structure of the exam to get a better idea of what to expect and when.
I advise checking the Australian Medical Council's official website or getting in touch with them directly for any available resources or study materials if you want the most recent and accurate information regarding the AMC CAT exam.
