Package access is 6 months. This includes the online course, question bank, mocks, audiobooks and flash cards. If trainees need slightly longer than 6 months then we are happy to extend as well.

How long do I get access to material for?													

Very simply, as early as possible! There is a lot of material to get through, and there is also no limit to usage. Therefore the earlier that you get the package, the more value you will get.

What is the ideal time to buy the package?													

<div class="sow-accordion-panel-border">
Although you have access to material for 6 months, the majority of trainees who purchase the package are between 1 and 3 months from their exam. All material is available to use flexibly as and long as you have a plan, you can get through it all in a few weeks if needed. You will certainly cram a lot of knowledge into a short period of time – which will definitely help on the exam day itself!
</div>

My exam is in 6 weeks - is there enough time to use the package?													

When you add the Ultimate Package to the checkout, you are asked to select a live programme that suits your own AKT plan. If the next few available programme dates do not suit (for example you are taking the exam in a year’s time) there is an option to select ‘Future Course Date’, allowing you to join a future date that has not released yet.

How do I select the most appropriate live course programme for me?													

Don’t worry! Many don’t attend our live courses on the day due to on-calls, working shifts etc. All of our live courses are recorded and available for watch back for one month afterwards – regardless of whether you actually attend them live or not.
Just select the programme closest to your exam date and you&#8217;ll get joining links for each live session.

What if I can't attend the live course programme?													

We regularly update our online courses, question bank, mock exams, audiobooks and flashcards. As soon as we update on our side, you get the updates on your side.

What if guidelines change?

We’d recommend using one of our free daily planner programmes which maps to the content of the Ultimate Package: https://wp.aroramedicaleducation.co.uk/free-downloads/

What is the best way to go through the material?													

Firstly, if you go through all of the material then it is very unlikely that you will fail! If you are unlucky not to pass however then we are happy to a) extend the package until when you pass and b) add you to the next Live course date so that you can re-attend.

What if I fail the exam?

Yes. At checkout you can choose the PayPal option, there will be an option to pay-in-3 by clicking the ‘pay later’ option.

Can I pay in instalments?

Failed the MRCGP AKT exam? This practical guide explains why GP trainees fail AKT, how to reset your preparation strategy and 7 clear steps to improve your score next time.

Failed MRCGP AKT? 7 Practical Steps to Pass at Your Next Sitting

Struggling to stay consistent with MRCGP AKT revision? These 7 practical strategies help GP trainees beat low motivation, improve question practice, tackle stats and build momentum.

7 Ways to Beat the “I Can’t Be Bothered” Feeling When Revising for MRCGP AKT

The MRCGP AKT, or Applied Knowledge Test, is sometimes underestimated during GP training. It is often described as the more straightforward exam, yet many trainees find it more demanding than expected. The challenge lies not just in knowledge, but in applying it accurately under time pressure.
The AKT rewards preparation that is structured and deliberate. Broad reading alone is rarely enough. Neither is last minute question practice. Good outcomes come from early planning, focused revision and smart use of time. This is especially important for GPST1 and GPST2 trainees who are balancing busy rotations alongside exam preparation.
Having sat the AKT myself, I clearly remember the areas I found difficult and the approaches that helped me most. Over time, working with trainees, I have also seen the same patterns repeat. Strong candidates tend to prepare in similar ways. Those who struggle often make the same avoidable mistakes.
This guide shares ten practical tips that are often overlooked. They cover both preparation and exam technique, and are designed to help you build a clear plan rather than react late. Many of these principles form the basis of how we structure AKT teaching and resources, because they reflect what actually works in practice. For full details about the exam see our main AKT Blog: <a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://wp.aroramedicaleducation.co.uk/the-akt-exam-what-it-is-and-how-to-prepare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What is the AKT and how to prepare</a>.

MRCGP UK consists of three components – AKT (Applied Knowledge Test), CSA (Clinical Skills Assessment) and WBPA (workplace Based Assessment) and is completed within a UK GP Training Scheme. Completion is necessary for a doctor to complete training in General Practice, allowing them to work as an independent GP in the UK. Doctors who are not part of a UK GP training scheme cannot take the exam.
