Why APC Revision

Built to help you pass the RICS APC.

Focused revision, not a textbook. Every article, PDF and practice question is written for one purpose — getting you through the final assessment with a pass.

We strip out the textbook filler and teach you what the assessors actually probe in the final assessment — scenarios, red flags, and the answers that pass.

Assessor-crafted content

178 articles with worked STAR examples, Level 1/2/3 contrast and the red flags assessors listen for. Written by serving RICS assessors.

Updated for 2022 Rules

Every ethics article reflects the RICS Rules of Conduct effective 2 February 2022. Refreshed after each assessment cycle.

What candidates say

From “panicking” to “referred as pass”.

The ethics chapter alone was worth more than the three APC courses I had paid for. I stopped waffling and started structuring my answers the way assessors want to hear them.

James T., MRICSPassed first sitting, Nov 2024
Finally a resource that cuts through the noise. I read one article a day for six weeks and walked into my final assessment looking forward to it. £25 well spent.
PS
Priya S., AssocRICSPassed first sitting
The ethics scenarios are brutal — in a good way. My counsellor kept firing them at me in mocks and I was grateful afterwards. The Rules of Conduct breakdown is the clearest I've seen.
DO
Daniel O., MRICSPassed first sitting, May 2024
I'm based in Trinidad and struggled to find APC content at the level of the real interview. APC Revision closed that gap. The GDPR and data management articles alone were gold.
AR
Amara R., MRICSTrinidad & Tobago
The conflict avoidance articles made Level 3 finally click. I could explain mediation vs adjudication with confidence because I'd seen worked examples for every scenario.
MH
Michael H., MRICSPassed first sitting
I was working through RICS guidance notes for weeks without progress. A few hours inside APC Revision gave me a clear sense of what “Level 3” actually looks like in practice.

Frequently asked

Answers to the usual questions.

Does the library cover everything on the APC?
Yes. We cover every mandatory competency at the level you’re assessed on, plus case-study writing, structured diary writing and a 200-question practice bank. On top of that, our articles, worked examples and PDFs focus on what assessors actually probe in the final interview — not textbook theory.
What does Level 1, 2, 3 mean?
Level 1 is knowledge — you can describe. Level 2 is application — you can apply the knowledge to your own experience. Level 3 is advice — you can reason, advise and defend decisions. Ethics sits at Level 3 because it is the pinnacle.
Who is this membership for?
RICS APC and AssocRICS candidates preparing for the final assessment. Also useful for counsellors supporting candidates and anyone re-sitting after a referral.
Is this official RICS content?
No. APC Revision is an independent, non-profit study aid. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by RICS. Always refer to the latest official RICS guidance alongside our materials.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime access for a one-off £25 membership. No renewals, no subscriptions, no surprise charges.
What is your refund policy?
Because you receive instant digital access to the entire library, we generally do not offer refunds. If something is wrong with your purchase, email us and we will make it right.
How often is content updated?
Our authors add to and update the library every week. We also refresh articles whenever RICS guidance notes change, and after every assessment cycle using feedback from members who have just sat their interviews. Your lifetime access includes all future updates.
