Features

The only UKMLA platform with real explanations, real coverage and real spaced repetition.

Eight pillars, one subscription. Every question, card, and metric was built for the UKMLA AKT — not ported from another exam.

Question bank

10,000+ SBAs, each one dissected.

Every question follows the same editorial structure so you always know what to look for — and every answer is referenced, not asserted.

  • Clinical stem with realistic vignette length and vitals.
  • Five options — plausible distractors, no trick answers.
  • Explanation grounded in the single best reference.
  • Click-through to the underlying NICE guideline or BNF entry.
  • Difficulty label and UKMLA content domain tag.

Haemoglobin 108 g/L (130–175) · Blood film: anisocytosis

  • BIncreased intraepithelial macrophages
  • CIncreased lymphocytes in submucosa

Flashcards

10,766 cards that remember what you forget.

SM-2 scheduling surfaces the cards you're most likely to miss next. No rote review; no wasted minutes on what you already know cold.

The review cycle in one sentence:

You rate each card Again, Hard, Good, or Easy. The interval widens when you're confident and shrinks when you're not.

Two flashcards showing the review cycle: front side, then back with rating controls.
