Candidates are scheduled into a particular centre immediately after the closing date of each series. You will be notified of whether you have been successful in gaining a clinical position approximately 10 days after the closing date for the series for which you applied.

The AMC cannot guarantee to place applicants in their preferred centre, although it will endeavour to do so wherever possible.

Where the number of applications for clinical examination places in a specific examination series exceeds the availability of examination places, the AMC will take into consideration the following factors:

• first attempt clinical examination candidates

• will have priority over repeat attempt candidates
• will be ranked in merit order based on their overall score in the MCQ examination
• with a longer wait time between passing the MCQ examination and attempting the clinical examination will have priority over those with a shorter wait time

• repeat attempt clinical examination candidates

• with fewer repeat attempts will have priority over candidates with a higher number of repeat attempts, subject to the wait time between attempts
• with a longer wait time between attempts will have priority over those with a shorter wait time.

The aim of this approach is to ensure that all candidates have an opportunity to complete the clinical examination as quickly as possible.
