Amedex review 2026

Amedex is a topic-driven AMC Part 1 bank of 1,515 original questions in 21 categories with a 30-day demo, US$126 for 30 days, that meets three of the five standards candidates set, so run the currency test during the demo and pair it with the free AMC Recalls sets for current recalls.

Below: what Amedex is, what you get, price and terms, the five standards, what Reddit and Quora candidates ask for, the currency test, who it suits and who it does not, how to pair it with the free sets, a verdict, the other three banks in brief, and the questions candidates ask most.

What Amedex is

Amedex is an independent paid question bank built for the AMC MCQ. Its method is topic-driven: a question opens a discussion of the condition, so you learn the topic through the question rather than the question through the topic. Its 1,515 questions sit in 21 categories of its own design, not the AMC's six blueprint groups, and its site states that the questions are not recall questions.

AMC Recalls has no relationship with Amedex. It is reviewed here because it is one of the four banks candidates compare.

What you get

• 1,515 original questions in 21 categories.

• A discussion per question that explains the condition, not only the answer.

• Build-your-own exams of up to 150 questions.

• Fixed-term access that can be extended until 30 days before expiry.

• A 30-day demo before you pay.

• No English preparation. No statement on its site of which Australian guidelines govern its answers, or whether exams can be run forward-only.

Price and terms

List prices of US$180 to US$690 are shown struck through on its site. Custom plans US$5 to US$10 a day. No refund. Figures as published on its site on 3 November 2026; check before you pay.

Against the five standards

The five standards are the requests that recur in AMC Part 1 threads on Reddit and in Quora answers, set out in the site's Reddit and Quora pages.

What Reddit and Quora candidates ask for, and whether it delivers

Candidates ask for explanations and a free way in, and Amedex delivers both, with the longest demo of any bank here. It does not deliver current recalls, by its own statement, and it does not say which Australian sources govern its answers, so the currency test matters more here than anywhere. Candidates who ask "which bank matches the paper's weighting" will have to map Amedex's 21 categories to the AMC's six groups themselves.

The ten-minute currency test

Run it in the first week of the 30-day demo. Find a question on bowel cancer screening: the correct starting age is 45, since 1 July 2024. Find a question on cervical screening: self-collection is universally available, since July 2022. A bank that still teaches 50, or restricts self-collection, has not been reviewed on schedule. With no published editorial standard, this test is your only evidence of currency before you pay.

Who it suits, and who it does not

It suits you if you learn by topic rather than by question; you want a precisely defined study window that you can extend; and you will use the 30-day demo to run the currency test before paying.

It does not suit you if you want the bank to tell you what to study first in blueprint proportion; you want a stated editorial standard; or you want current recalls, which it does not offer.

How to pair it with the free AMC Recalls sets

Amedex gives you topics; the free sets give you what recent sittings tested. Use them in that order:

1. Work the most recent free set untimed and list the topics you missed.

2. Open each missed topic in Amedex and work its discussion and questions.

3. Build a 150-question Amedex exam weighted to the AMC blueprint yourself: 45 medicine, 30 surgery, 19 each for women's health, child health, mental health, and population health. Sit it timed, without going back.

4. Repeat with the previous month's free set.

Start with the free set for the latest sitting: October 2026.

Verdict

Amedex is a reasonable topic-driven bank with the best trial terms of the four. Its gaps are the ones its own site is silent on: no recalls, no stated editorial standard, no blueprint weighting. Check currency during the demo, plan the weighting yourself, and let the free sets supply what recent sittings tested.

The 2027 change: four exam days, not six

From February 2027, every AMC MCQ (CAT) sitting runs four days instead of six. In 2026, candidates on days 1 to 4 reported their questions, and candidates on days 5 and 6 were told, in Telegram groups especially, that those questions would come round again. With four days, there is no late-week sitting, so the 2027 paper rewards concepts over memorised answers. The dates and the full reasoning are in AMC MCQ 2027: the exam window drops from six days to four.

What it changes in preparation: study to the blueprint, learn why every wrong option is wrong, sit timed forward-only mocks, and learn Australian management from its sources. Amedex's topic-driven method fits concept study, with the blueprint weighting planned by you. Based on this change, AMC Academic is the best-suited AMC MCQ question bank for 2027, because it supplies the blueprint weighting, the stated editorial standard, and the AMC-format timed mocks ready-made.
