Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MRCGP AKT and when should I take it in my gp training?

The AKT is a computerbased exam testing applied clinical knowledge, evidence use and organisation in UK general practice, usually taken in ST2ST3 once youve met key curriculum coverage. GP Pathway helps you plan AKT prep within your GP training timeline. 

The MSRA exam has Clinical Problem Solving and Professional Dilemmas papers used to rank applicants for GP and other specialty training posts. Higher scores give you a better chance of securing preferred programmes in GP training UK.​ 

Most trainees prepare for the MSRA exam over 4–8 weeks, AKT over 8–12 weeks, and SCA over several months alongside clinics, though this varies by experience. GP Pathway lets you build flexible study plans that match your rota and exam dates.​ 

The SCA is a live remote consultation assessment of communication, data gathering and clinical management, whereas AKT is a written multiplechoice knowledge test. Using both AKT questions and SCA scenarios together gives a more rounded preparation for real GP training. 

WPBA is ongoing workplacebased assessment using MiniCEX, CBD, COT, CSR and other tools to evidence your capabilities in daily practice. Strong WPBA documentation is essential for positive ARCP outcomes and progression through GP training. 

GP Pathway is built to support your full GP training timeline, from MSRA exam application through AKT, SCA and daytoday WPBA. You can move between modules as your focus changes during GP training UK.
