Your APC Written Assessment prep, in 48 seconds
Diana walks you through the dashboard: practice by topic, timed mocks, weak-spot tracking, flashcards, study notes and the Pass Guarantee.
Learn the clinical reasoning behind every answer
The Written Assessment gives you an Australian patient case and asks what an entry-level physiotherapist would do. Every explanation walks through the reasoning and the guideline behind the answer, so you learn why, not just what.
- Original case-based questions written to the Physiotherapy practice thresholds
- Trap answers called out, like imaging non-specific low back pain
- Practice by topic or mixed, with instant feedback
See your weak spots before the exam does
Your Readiness Score day by day, accuracy by clinical area with the weakest first, and every timed mock exam against the pass line. One click on a topic starts a drill on it.
- Topic accuracy updates after every question
- Mock exam scores plotted against your target line
- The Today list sends you to your weakest topic first
Remember it on exam day, not just tonight
Spaced repetition brings each card back right before you'd forget it. Cards you miss return in 10 minutes. Cards you know wait days or weeks.
- Red flags, special tests, normal values and guideline numbers
- 15 new cards a day, so reviews never pile up
- Mastery feeds straight into your Readiness Score
Turn every missed question into a point
Every question you get wrong is saved with its explanation. It only clears after you get it right twice in a row, so lucky guesses don't count.
- Re-test all your mistakes in one click
- See the right answer and the reasoning behind it
- Shows how many you've cleared, to keep you going
Walk in having done it before
Timed mocks with no feedback until you submit, the way exam day works. Two 2-hour papers of 60 questions in one day takes stamina, so practise the full day.
- Exam pace: 60 questions in 2 hours per paper, about 2 minutes each
- Quick 25-question mocks for a lunch break
- Two full simulations count toward the Pass Guarantee

Questions before you buy
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Open the study dashboard free with no signup, or take any exam's free practice test. You only pay when you want the full question bank, timed simulations and every study tool.
What if I buy it and it's not for me?
Because you get the full question bank and study materials the moment you pay, all sales are final. Try the free test and the free dashboard first so you know it suits you. The one exception is the Pass Guarantee: complete the full prep, and if you still fail, we refund 100%.
What if I study and still fail?
That's what the Pass Guarantee is for. Answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, pass 2 timed simulations and reach a Readiness Score of 80, then sit your exam within 60 days. If you don't pass, send your result notice within 30 days and we refund 100%.
Is it a subscription?
Yes. Premium is A$217 a month per exam (about A$7.13 a day) and renews monthly until you cancel. You can cancel in two clicks from your account, and there's no minimum term. Most people study for 1 to 3 months. If you want a whole year for one exam, the yearly plan is A$1,953 for 12 months (3 months free) and renews once a year until you cancel.
How long do I keep access?
For as long as your Premium subscription is active. Cancel any time from your account and you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.
Are these real exam questions?
No one can legally sell the actual assessment questions. Ours are original case-based questions written to the Council's published competencies and content areas and to current Australian guidelines, with an explanation for every answer and the reasoning behind it, so you can check our work.
Is the content up to date?
We check every exam page against the Australian Physiotherapy Council's current published information and show the date it was last checked. In 2026 that included the new fees from 21 October 2026 (Written Assessment A$2,078) and the move to six sittings in 2027.
Do I still need the Council's own preparation resources?
Yes. Read the Council's Written Assessment Information Booklet and complete its Written Assessment Orientation course, which includes practice questions. We're the extra practice: many more case-based questions, timed mock exams, flashcards and a Readiness Score so you know when you're ready.
Are you affiliated with the Australian Physiotherapy Council?
No. APCPhysioExam is an independent exam-prep company, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Council, the Physiotherapy Board of Australia or Ahpra. Australian Physiotherapy Council, APC, APEP and FLYR are names and marks of the Australian Physiotherapy Council, used only to describe the assessment we help you prepare for.
