A Study Plan Built for
Working Doctors
A sustainable, practical approach designed for busy GPs, family physicians, and registrars balancing clinical practice with MRCGP ISA AKT preparation.
The Philosophy
Small daily progress
Consistency beats marathon sessions. 20 minutes every day outperforms 5 hours once a week — always.
Active recall
Answering questions forces your brain to retrieve information, building long-term retention far more effectively than re-reading notes.
Track and adjust
Data-driven revision. Use your analytics dashboard to focus on where you actually need to improve — not where you feel comfortable.
Protect your rest
A well-rested doctor is a better learner. Build rest into your plan — burnout destroys weeks of good preparation.
Your Roadmap to AKT Success
Foundation Assessment
Take a diagnostic practice session across all subjects. Your first results reveal exactly where you stand and show you which areas need the most attention before structured revision begins.
Start with a mixed-subject session to map your baseline.
Subject-by-Subject Knowledge Building
Work through each clinical subject systematically, starting with your weakest. Each session provides immediate feedback with full explanations and guideline references.
Use the analytics dashboard to prioritise subjects below 65% accuracy.
Targeted Revision
Use the Weak Area Detection to focus revision on topics where you are underperforming. Save challenging questions to bookmarks for structured re-review.
Bookmark every question you hesitate on — not just the ones you get wrong.
High-Volume Practice Blocks
Timed mixed sessions across all subjects and difficulty levels. Build exam-day stamina and decision-making speed under pressure.
Aim for sessions of 40–60 questions to build the concentration needed for 200.
Full Mock AKT Exams
Sit full 200-question, 210-minute mock exams that replicate the real AKT environment. Review the subject breakdown carefully after each attempt.
Sit at least two full mocks before the real exam — never just one.
Final Consolidation
Revisit bookmarked questions and any subjects still below threshold. Consolidate what you know. Go into exam day with confidence, not anxiety.
No new topics in the final week. Review only. Rest is preparation.
AKT Examination Day
Walk in prepared. You have put in the work — trust the process, manage your time, and apply the clinical reasoning you have built.
Aim for ~1 minute per question. Flag and return — never get stuck.
