Frequently Asked Questions

The UK Medical Licensing Assessment (UKMLA) is a national exam that all UK medical students and international graduates must pass to practice medicine in the UK. It consists of two parts: AKT (Applied Knowledge Test) – a computer-based MCQ exam testing clinical knowledge. CPSA (Clinical and Professional Skills Assessment) – an OSCE-style practical assessment (for UK grads only; IMGs are exempt).

All UK medical students graduating from 2025 onwards. International Medical Graduates (IMGs) applying for GMC registration from 2024 onwards.

The UKMLA content map includes: Clinical specialties (e.g. Cardiology, Respiratory, Surgery, Paediatrics) Investigations and prescribing Ethics, professionalism, and legal duties Public health and population medicine Our question bank is mapped to these categories using high-yield, exam-style questions based on real recall and GMC standards.

Start by covering the Medical Licensing Assessment Content Map — this is your syllabus. Use a structured UKMLA question bank that mirrors the UKMLA’s Applied Knowledge Test (AKT)-style format, and revise systematically. Don’t just cram facts — focus on clinical reasoning, guidelines, and decision-making. Regular mock exams under timed conditions will build your stamina and sharpen your recall.

MediWord offers UKMLA practice papers that reflect the actual exam’s tone, format, and difficulty. Each paper is mapped to the UKMLA blueprint and comes with detailed answer explanations, ensuring you don’t just guess your way through revision.

UKMLA past papers help with familiarisation, but the official UKMLA doesn’t release past papers regularly. Instead, focus on recall-based question banks written by top scorers and mapped to the real exam blueprint. Quality over quantity matters.

Start 3–6 months before your exam date, or earlier if you’re balancing rotations or work. Aim for consistent progress: revise weekly using UKMLA revision questions, test yourself with MCQs, and complete full mock exams monthly in the last 2–3 months. Leave cramming to others — you’re aiming for top marks, not just a pass.

Yes, MediWord offers free UKMLA practice papers​, flashcards, and revision PDFs — especially around peak exam periods. Join our Telegram or WhatsApp groups for early access to giveaways and free updates.

It needs three things: • Accuracy – aligned with current NICE and GMC guidelines • Relevance – focused on high-yield, commonly tested material • Explanation quality – clear breakdowns for right and wrong answers

The UKMLA assesses across all specialties, but high-yield topics include: • Acute and emergency medicine • Clinical pharmacology • Infectious diseases • Gastroenterology • Respiratory and cardiovascular • Mental health and neurology Expect questions that test diagnosis, management, prescribing, and red flag recognition. A high-quality UKMLA question bank can help you focus on these key areas and build confidence through targeted practice.

The pass mark isn’t fixed — it’s set each year using the Angoff method, typically around 60–70%, depending on the cohort’s performance. Your aim shouldn’t just be to pass — aim to score highly and stay competitive, especially if you’re applying for competitive jobs later.
