What's inside
25 questions across the five stages of the APC
This is not a knowledge test. It checks whether you can demonstrate your competence the way assessors are trained to look for it.
SECTION 1Your Experience & Competencies
Whether your evidence genuinely supports the competencies and levels you are claiming.
SECTION 2Demonstrating Level 3
The judgement test that decides most assessments: advice and reasoning, not tasks.
SECTION 3Your Case Study
Whether your topic gives you the room to demonstrate competence, or works against you.
SECTION 4Your Summary of Experience
Whether it reads as mapped evidence an assessor can credit, or as a CV.
SECTION 5Interview & Mandatory Competencies
Whether you are prepared for the full hour, including the areas that refer the most candidates.
YOUR RESULTA readiness score out of 25
Tally your answers into one of three bands and know your next move with confidence.
WHO MADE THIS
Built from the assessor's side of the table.
I have spent 38 years in construction, 35 years as a Chartered Quantity Surveyor, and more than 30 of them assessing RICS APC candidates, chairing panels, auditing other panels, and sitting on the Appeals Board.
In over 1,700 assessments, the pattern is consistent. Candidates rarely fail on knowledge. They fail because they cannot translate their experience into structured professional judgement. This checklist shows you where you stand against the things assessors actually look for.
Stop guessing what "good" looks like.
