PassADC is an online study platform for the Australian Dental Council (ADC) Part 1 written exam. It includes 1,390 verified MCQs across all 10 subjects, 87 lessons, 33 OSCE clinical case walkthroughs, 3 full-length timed readiness trials and a 24/7 AI tutor — built for overseas-trained dentists.

How much does PassADC cost?

There's a free tier with all 87 lessons, 50 practice MCQs per day and one full 140-question readiness trial. Pro costs $49 AUD/month or $199 AUD per 6 months (about $33/month). Subscriptions cancel anytime and come with a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Does PassADC include full-length ADC-style mock exams?

Yes. PassADC includes 3 Practice-Readiness Trials that mirror the real ADC Part 1 format: 140 questions, a 4-hour timer and official blueprint subject weighting, with a full answer review after submission. Trial 1 is free.

What happens if I don't pass the ADC Part 1?

Members who complete the program and don't pass receive free Pro access until their next attempt — no forms, no questions.

How is PassADC different from cohort coaching courses?

There are no enrolment dates or cohorts to wait for — you start immediately, pay a fraction of the typical ~US$1,050 cohort price, and get a 24/7 AI tutor that explains any question in plain English instead of scheduled Zoom calls.

Prosthodontics for the ADC Part 1 Exam: High-Yield Topics, Traps & Study Tips

Prosthodontics carries roughly 12% of the ADC Part 1 written exam — ≈34 of 280 questions. Below: the high-yield topics to master, the classic traps that cost candidates marks, and how to study this subject efficiently.

High-yield topics

Topic	What to focus on
RPD design & Kennedy classification	class determination with modifications, support/retention/stability logic
Complete denture problems	looseness, pain, gagging — cause vs correction tables are exam gold
Jaw relations & occlusion	vertical dimension errors and their clinical signs, balanced occlusion principles
Crown & bridge fundamentals	preparation principles, ferrule effect, taper, finish lines and material choice
Post-and-core	when a post is needed (it retains the core, not strengthens the tooth)
Impression materials & techniques	material selection, border moulding, common defects
Implant-supported prostheses basics	screw vs cement retention trade-offs

Classic exam traps

"A post strengthens the root" — it doesn't; it retains the core and can increase fracture risk
Mixing up increased vs decreased vertical dimension symptoms (cheek biting vs angular cheilitis patterns)
Kennedy classification after extractions — always classify from the most posterior saddle, mods exclude it
Choosing rigid connectors where stress-breaking is required in distal extension cases

How to study Prosthodontics

Make cause→symptom→fix tables for denture complaints; most pros questions are written exactly that way
Sketch RPD designs for each Kennedy class — visual memory beats rote lists

The exam tests this subject through clinical vignettes, so practise it the same way — scenario-based MCQs with explanations, not isolated fact recall. Start with the free readiness check below to see exactly where you stand in prosthodontics, then see the full exam format guide and the 8-week study plan.

Where do you actually stand?

30 questions across all 10 subjects. Free, instant, no credit card.
