Updated Reviewed by MedRevisions UKMLA Curriculum Team
Core readiness pillars
- Clinical reasoning under uncertainty, not only direct factual recall.
- Professional standards, ethics, and communication logic integrated into mocks.
- Guideline-aware management sequencing for first-line and escalation choices.
Two-paper stamina
- Paper 1 and Paper 2 are 100 SBAs over 2 hours each — practise full Paper 1 mocks before chaining Paper 1 + 2 in the final weeks.
- Run unlimited timed mocks to build the back-to-back pacing the AKT demands.
- Use the exam debrief after every mock to spot decision-error patterns before the next sit.
Execution rhythm
- Pair each question block with short explanation review cycles.
- Use review logs for repeated confusion themes and close them weekly.
- Shift to complete mixed simulations in final prep phase.
