No 43: The list of InnovAiT AKT questions from 2008-2010

I am about to start revising for the MRCGP theory exam, called the AKT. The Applied Knowledge test.

According to our tutors the questions featured in the BJGP InnovAiT are an accurate representation of questions in the exam. These questions are also free with your MRCGP membership. However, the way that the journal has stored the questions is not the most user friendly.

So, to aid my own learning and potentially help others, I have started compiling a link to all of the questions and answers.

This has allowed me to start to get an idea of what topics come up and by making the list more user friendly it will allow me to target my revision.

How to use this list…

I would suggest that you log into the MRCGP website, so that when you click the link you already have access to InnovAiT loaded up, otherwise the website can be funny.

Then press “ctrl+F” to search the list, and search for a few key terms. Then target the questions most relevant to your current interest.

I hope to eventually get every question from 14 years of the journal. There’s roughly 3 questions per issue, 12 issues a year and 14 years = over 500 questions!

Not a bad number of free, reliable questions to start with. Good luck!
