Your medical school has to be listed on WDOMS, and your degree verified through EPIC. Start early: it takes weeks.
Tip: Start EPIC verification as soon as you're eligible. It can take weeks.

150 questions in three and a half hours, across six disciplines. You can sit it in India.
Tip: Wrong answers don't lose marks, so never leave one blank.
A 23-year-old man presents to his GP in Hobart with dark, cola-coloured urine that started the day after he developed a sore throat and fever. He had a similar episode 18 months ago that resolved on its own. BP 132/84 mmHg, no oedema. Urinalysis: blood 3+, protein 1+. Creatinine 88 µmol/L. Urine microscopy shows dysmorphic red cells.

Most marks lost aren’t gaps in medicine. They’re the answer you were taught at home, where Australia does it differently.
Tip: The exam marks the Australian answer, even when yours is right at home.
| Aspect | India (MBBS)What you learn in MBBS | Australia (AMC)What the exam marks as correct |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiology: STEMI reperfusion | Fibrinolysis is common where PCI is not available; streptokinase may still be used. | Primary PCI within 90 minutes if possible. If PCI can't happen within 120 minutes (common rurally), give tenecteplase, sometimes pre-hospital. |

India (MBBS)
Fibrinolysis is common where PCI is not available; streptokinase may still be used.

A guide, not an official assessment. The AMC confirms eligibility when it verifies your degree.
The question bank, mock exams, flashcards and all 52 topics are free, with no card needed. AI features (the tutor, clinical stations with an AI patient, fresh question sets) come with monthly credits: a few on the free plan to try them, and plenty with Premium, from ₹2,499 a month or ₹9,999 for six months.
No. Southward is an independent study aid and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the Australian Medical Council. For fees, eligibility and exam rules, always check amc.org.au.
It's the best time to start. Southward maps each MBBS posting to the AMC topics it feeds, so the medicine you're learning in the wards counts twice. The study plan stretches to fit however long you have.
The course, question bank, flashcards and stations are written out in full and don't change from one visit to the next. The AI is there for extra questions, explanations and role-play. AI-written questions go through a separate check before you see them, but it can still be wrong, so treat current Australian guidelines as the final word.
Yes. It's built phone-first. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app, keeps working offline for pages you've studied, and syncs your progress to your laptop.
Yes. The AMC exams are the same for every international graduate. The India vs Australia notes are written for Indian MBBS graduates, but the differences they point out trip up most people trained outside Australia.
