At IMG SOS, we have proudly supported hundreds of international medical graduates (IMGs) in their journey to success through the Australian Medical Council (AMC) exams and into clinical practice across Australia. These AMC success stories represent more than just exam passes — they are personal tales of determination, migration, professional transformation, and a dream realised.
If you’re an IMG considering the AMC MCQ or Clinical exam pathway, or already navigating it, these real-life stories of former IMG SOS students will inspire and guide you. With the right tutoring, resources, and support, your journey can be just as successful.
From Nigeria to Newcastle: Dr. Adebayo’s AMC MCQ Triumph
Dr. Adebayo, a general practitioner from Lagos, Nigeria, began preparing for the AMC MCQ Exam shortly after arriving in Australia on a partner visa. With no Australian clinical experience and limited local networks, he turned to IMG SOS for structured guidance.
Through personalised tutoring sessions, exam-focused strategy, and simulated mock MCQs, Dr. Adebayo passed the AMC MCQ exam on his first attempt. He credits IMG SOS with helping him “decode the exam pattern and apply my knowledge the way Australian assessors expect.”
He now practices in Newcastle, NSW, under limited registration while completing his clinical exam preparation with IMG SOS.
Breaking Barriers: Dr. Singh’s AMC Clinical Exam Journey
Dr. Singh, originally from India, had attempted the AMC Clinical Exam twice before enrolling with IMG SOS. The structured tutoring, mock circuits, and role-play-based coaching gave her a completely different perspective on how to approach each case.
IMG SOS helped her improve her clinical reasoning, communication, and time management under exam pressure — all critical factors for passing the Clinical exam. After successfully passing the AMC Clinical Exam, Dr. Singh is now working in a regional hospital in Queensland, contributing to Australia’s public health system.
Her advice? “Studying alone isn’t enough. You need targeted preparation. IMG SOS gave me the tools and confidence to succeed.”
Balancing Parenthood and Preparation: Dr. Nguyen’s Story
After moving from Vietnam and having two young children, Dr. Nguyen thought her dream of becoming a doctor in Australia was slipping away. But with flexible tutoring schedules, one-on-one mentoring, and focused AMC MCQ crash courses from IMG SOS, she passed the exam while parenting full-time.
She is now preparing for her AMC Clinical Exam and hopes to apply for a hospital training post in Melbourne. She says: “IMG SOS didn’t just help me study — they understood my life context and adapted the support accordingly.”
