Practice materials (updated February 2023)
The MS AKT Exam Board has put together a 200-item practice exam (2 x 100 item papers) to help students prepare for the UK medical school AKT. Blueprinted to the MLA Content Map this exam has been designed to reflect the style and type of question that students will encounter when the MS AKT goes live in 2024-25 or 2023-24 for medical schools that have penultimate year exams. The practice exam is in pdf form and comes with and without the answer options.
We would like to recognise the contribution of medical schools, and members of the AKT Exam Board in particular, in producing this exam which we hope students will find a valuable resource. Should you have any questions about the clinical content of the practice exam please speak to the Assessment Lead in your school in the first instance.
