# Free MRICS (Chartered Member) APC Readiness Check

## What is the MRICS APC exam?

MRICS membership via the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) is RICS’s pathway for surveyors to demonstrate ethics, mandatory competencies, and pathway-specific technical judgment — culminating in a final assessment interview rather than a single multiple-choice license test. UniPrep2Go’s MRICS readiness check helps candidates rehearse competency-style application and ethics scenarios before interview evidence writing. Confirm current APC guides with RICS for your pathway.

- Administered by: Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
- Official format: APC structured training, written submissions, and final assessment interview (pathway-dependent). This UniPrep2Go check is an MCQ-style diagnostic aid, not the APC interview.
