What is UKMLA Revision?

UKMLA revision refers to the structured process of preparing for the UK Medical Licensing Assessment (UKMLA) — the standardised exam that all UK medical graduates and international medical graduates (IMGs) must pass to obtain a licence to practise medicine in the United Kingdom.

The UKMLA Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) consists of Single Best Answer (SBA) questions covering all conditions listed in the GMC's UKMLA Content Map. Effective UKMLA revision requires systematic practice across all 430 conditions and 217 patient presentations — something that is only possible with a comprehensive, purpose-built question bank.

Our UKMLA revision platform is designed specifically for this exam, with every question mapped to the official GMC UKMLA Content Map so you can track your coverage and identify gaps in your knowledge before exam day.

Why Our UKMLA Revision Platform Works

Built by doctors who passed the UKMLA, our platform uses evidence-based revision techniques to maximise your score.

100% UKMLA Content Map Coverage

Every question is mapped to the official GMC UKMLA Content Map. No condition is left uncovered — revise with confidence that you are preparing for the real exam.

Spaced Repetition

Our intelligent algorithm surfaces questions you find difficult more frequently, using spaced repetition to embed knowledge into long-term memory — the most effective revision technique.

Timed Mock Exams

Simulate real UKMLA exam conditions with timed mock exams. Build the stamina and time management skills needed to perform under pressure on exam day.

Detailed Explanations

Every UKMLA revision question comes with a full explanation covering the diagnosis, investigations, management, and relevant NICE guidelines — so you learn, not just guess.

Performance Analytics

Track your progress across all UKMLA conditions and specialties. Identify your weakest areas and focus your revision time where it matters most.

PLAB 1 Compatible

Our question bank is equally effective for PLAB 1 revision. The PLAB 1 exam covers the same clinical knowledge as the UKMLA, making our platform ideal for IMGs.

How to Revise for the UKMLA: A Proven Strategy

Effective UKMLA revision requires a structured approach. Here is the strategy used by students who consistently achieve high scores:

1

Start with the UKMLA Content Map

Download the GMC's official UKMLA Content Map and familiarise yourself with all 430 conditions and 217 patient presentations. This is your revision blueprint.

2

Practise SBA questions by condition

Work through UKMLA revision questions condition by condition. This builds deep knowledge of each topic before moving on, rather than random practice that leaves gaps.

3

Review explanations thoroughly

Do not just check if you got the answer right — read the full explanation for every question, including the ones you answered correctly. Understanding why is more important than knowing what.

4

Use spaced repetition for weak areas

Flag questions you find difficult and revisit them at increasing intervals. Spaced repetition is the most evidence-based technique for retaining medical knowledge.

5

Take timed mock exams

In the final weeks before your UKMLA, practise under timed conditions. The real exam is time-pressured, and building exam stamina is essential for peak performance.

UKMLA Revision — Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are in the UKMLA?

The UKMLA Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) consists of 200 Single Best Answer (SBA) questions delivered over a 3-hour and 10-minute sitting. Questions cover all conditions in the GMC UKMLA Content Map.

How long should I revise for the UKMLA?

Most students recommend 3–6 months of structured UKMLA revision. Starting early and practising consistently — even 30–60 minutes per day — is more effective than intensive last-minute cramming.

Is this platform suitable for PLAB 1 revision?

Yes. The PLAB 1 exam covers the same clinical knowledge as the UKMLA AKT, making our question bank equally effective for IMGs preparing for PLAB 1. All questions are mapped to the GMC Content Map used for both exams.

What is the pass mark for the UKMLA?

The UKMLA pass mark is set by the GMC using the Angoff method and varies slightly between sittings. Typically, a score of around 60–65% is required to pass, but aiming for 70%+ in practice gives a comfortable margin.

How is UKMLA Revision different from other question banks?

Unlike generic medical question banks, every question on our platform is specifically mapped to the official GMC UKMLA Content Map. This means you can track your coverage across all 430 conditions and 217 patient presentations — ensuring no gaps in your revision.
