AKT Exam Preparation Workshop - Virtual Course

AKT Exam Preparation Workshop 

Day 1 - Thursday 19th January 2023 (13:15 - 16:30)

Day 2 - Thursday 9th February 2023 (09:15 - 12:30)

This workshop runs over two half days and is delivered via a virtual platform – attendance is required on both days.

The workshop aims to provide an understanding of the working of the AKT examination and how to prepare for it using the core objectives outlined below:

To share a broad overview of the AKT examination in the wider context of general practice
To help candidates appreciate how questions are typically constructed and presented
To encourage candidates to find successful learning and revision strategies and to enhance their examination technique
To highlight the impact of dyslexia and how the exam can accommodate this and other disabilities

Please note that this course will offer many insights on how to be successful in the AKT but the tutors do not have access to the RCGP question bank and do not ‘teach’ on hot topics or clinical medicine.
