Your ADC Written Exam 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 Australian answer, and why
The ADC written exam asks what a newly qualified Australian dentist would do. Every explanation gives the clinical reasoning and the Australian guideline behind the answer, so you learn the standard, not just the option.
- Original scenario-based questions written to the ADC blueprint
- Trap answers called out, like antibiotics for irreversible pulpitis
- Practice by discipline or mixed, with instant feedback
Find your weak cluster before the exam does
You must pass all four clusters, not just score well overall. See your Readiness Score day by day, accuracy by topic with the weakest first, and every timed simulation against the pass line. One click on a topic starts a drill on it.
- Topic accuracy updates after every question
- Simulation 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.
- Doses, guidelines, classifications and lesion features that get tested
- 15 new cards a day, so reviews never pile up
- Mastery feeds straight into your Readiness Score
Turn every missed question into a mark
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 guideline behind it
- Shows how many you've cleared, to keep you going
Walk in having done both days before
Timed simulations with no feedback until you submit, the way exam day works. Each section is 70 questions in 2 hours, and you sit four of them over two days, so stamina matters.
- Exam pace: 70 questions in 2 hours, about 1 minute 40 seconds each
- Quick 25-question sets for a short session
- Two full simulations count toward the Pass Guarantee

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%.

How long do I keep access?

Are these real exam questions?
No one can legally sell the actual exam questions. Ours are original scenario-based questions written to the ADC's published blueprint, format and difficulty, with an explanation for every answer and the Australian guideline behind it, so you can check our work.
Is the content up to date?
We check the exam page against the ADC's current written examination handbook and website and show the date it was last checked. In November 2026 that included the 280-question, two-day format, the four clusters you must pass, the 13-discipline blueprint and the A$2,122 fee. Answers follow current Australian guidelines such as Therapeutic Guidelines: Oral and Dental.
Do I still need the ADC handbook and Australian guidelines?
Yes. Read the ADC's written examination handbook for the rules, and use current Australian guidelines (such as Therapeutic Guidelines: Oral and Dental) and standard dental texts as your core reading. We're the exam-style practice: more scenario questions, timed simulations, flashcards and a Readiness Score so you know when you're ready.
Are you affiliated with the Australian Dental Council?
No. ADCWrittenExam is an independent exam-prep company. Australian Dental Council and ADC are names and marks of the Australian Dental Council Limited, used only to describe the exam we help you prepare for. We're not affiliated with the Dental Board of Australia, Ahpra or Pearson VUE either.

ADC guides, written for overseas-qualified dentists
ADC written exam guide (2026-2027)
The Australian Dental Council (ADC) Written Examination is the second of three stages for overseas-qualified dentists who want to register with the Dental Board of Australia.
How to become a dentist in Australia with an overseas qualification
If your dental degree isn't from an ADC-accredited program, or isn't otherwise approved by the Dental Board of Australia, the usual route to registration is the Australian Dental Council assessment: an initial assessment of your qualification, a two-day written examination and a two-day practical examination.
Registration in Australia starts with this exam.
