UKMLA AKT Revision Course for Medical Students

The UKMLA AKT is the written component of the UK Medical Licensing Assessment. It tests whether medical students have the clinical knowledge required for safe practice as a junior doctor.

All UK medical students graduating from UK medical schools will take the UKMLA as part of their degree. It may also be used for international graduates depending on their route to GMC registration.

The AKT is usually taken during the final years of medical school, often alongside or integrated into final exams.

The exam covers a broad range of clinical areas, including:

• Medicine and its specialties
• Surgery and perioperative care
• Paediatrics
• Obstetrics and gynaecology
• Psychiatry
• Prescribing, ethics and patient safety

All content is based on the MLA content map.

The AKT consists of single best answer questions based on clinical scenarios. The focus is on applying knowledge, not simple recall.

No.

• UKMLA is for UK medical students
• PLAB is for international doctors

Both assess similar core clinical knowledge, but they are designed for different groups.

The AKT is challenging because it tests applied knowledge across a wide syllabus. Success depends on both understanding and exam technique.

The MLA content map defines the knowledge, skills and behaviours expected of a newly qualified doctor. It forms the blueprint for the AKT.
