“The questions actually made me think like the exam”

I'd already done quite a lot of revision before using MLA Prep, but I still wasn't very confident with clinical SBAs. What I liked was that the questions weren't just testing random facts — a lot of them made me work through the presentation and decide what the most appropriate answer was. The explanations were also really useful when I got something wrong. I ended up using it pretty much every day in the run-up to my AKT.

“Mocks were probably the best part for me”

The full mocks were honestly what made the biggest difference. At first I was running out of time and making silly mistakes, even when I knew the content. Doing the 200-question papers under timed conditions helped me get much better at pacing myself. By the time I sat the AKT, the format felt much less intimidating because I'd already practised doing it properly several times.

“I wish I'd started using it earlier”

I started using MLA Prep fairly late and ended up wishing I'd found it sooner. The question bank was really useful for identifying gaps in my knowledge, especially in specialties I hadn't revised properly. I liked that I could do a quick set of questions when I didn't have much time rather than needing to sit down for a full revision session. By the week of the AKT I felt much more comfortable with the style of questions and my timing.

“Honestly saved me in the last few weeks before AKT”

I mainly used MLA Prep for the last 4–5 weeks before my AKT and found the questions much more useful than just going through notes again. The timed mocks were especially helpful because you get used to doing a lot of SBAs without spending ages on one question. I also liked being able to see which specialties I was consistently getting wrong and then go back and revise those areas. Definitely helped me feel a lot less stressed going into the exam.
