I am again posting the same thing,regarding the procedure of applying for this exam.Hope that will help.
1-Begin the process by submitting to the AMC a preliminary application form and the $100.00 GP application fee. You can submit this Form via the Internet through the AMC website or you can contact the AMC to obtain the preliminary application form by post.
2-Once you have submitted the preliminary application form, either through the internet or post, the $100.00 fee is processed. A GP pack (containing Form A, Information Booklet for Candidates, and associated information) is then forwarded to you.
3-Once you have received the GP pack, you must carefully read the Information Booklet for Candidates, which informs you of the documentation required for the application process. This booklet also lists the persons accepted to witness your documentation. It is very important that you submit the required documentation with correct certification. You must fill in the Form A and submit the relevant documentation in order for the application process to commence.
4-The non-specialist application process takes between 4 – 6 weeks. It is important that the Form A and documentation are submitted to the AMC before the ‘new assessment closing date’ in order for an applicant to be assessed as eligible to sit the next available MCQ examination.
5-Once the application has been completed, a letter regarding the outcome will be forwarded to you in the post. If you are eligible to undertake the AMC examination process, a Form C-1 application will be included with the assessment letter and you can then apply for the next available MCQ examination. If you are not eligible, the letter will state what is still required by the AMC to complete the application process.
