The following advice is provided to AMC candidates on changes to the AMC Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) examination, commencing with the 2011 MCQ examination series and also the commencement of the AMC MCQ Unified Scheduling process.

• The change in the examination process for a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) format has been approved after extensive trial tests with Australian University students, and will come into effect commencing with the February 2011 MCQ examination. Trial examinations were used to test the examination delivery system and blueprint (content) requirements, and to ensure the AMC standard is maintained - refer to the AMC Information Sheet.

• Commencing 3rd November 2010, AMC candidates who are eligible to undertake the AMC MCQ examination will be able to schedule for examination events over an authorisation period of 12 months.  In order to familiarise candidates with the new process a comprehensive "How to Schedule" guide is included in the MCQ Examinations Section on the AMC website.
