The MCQ practice was invaluable for my preparation. I felt more confident prior to the exam and passed the first time.

The AI tutor is just amazing in teaching you just about anything. Saves having to try and find the information on CKS or Google myself.

Why choose AKT Prep?

A mark is not the same as a lesson.

Most question banks tell you that you were wrong. AKT Prep shows where your reasoning changed course, gives you a rule worth remembering, and lets you question the answer.

Explanation

Resuscitation Council UK

Adrenaline is first-line treatment and should not be withheld. Beta-blockers may reduce its effect, but that changes what you consider if the response is poor—not whether you give the first dose.

Why it tempted you

Beta-blockers can blunt adrenaline, so the interaction feels like a contraindication.

The discriminator

Untreated anaphylaxis is the greater risk. Adrenaline should never be withheld.

Rule to remember

No absolute contraindications to IM adrenaline in anaphylaxis.

Source you can check

Resuscitation Council UK
Still unsure? Ask the tutor

“What if they are taking a beta-blocker?”

Give adrenaline first. If the response is poor, consider glucagon—never delay the initial dose.

Before you start

Everything trainees usually want to know before choosing a plan.

AKT Prep is built by practising GPs who have sat the AKT themselves. Every question and explanation is reviewed by a practising GP before it goes live, and explanations reference current NICE and UK guidance. The AI tutor's responses are generated against the same guidelines and cite the guidance they draw on, so you can verify anything it tells you.

You can create a free account and look around before choosing a plan. There isn't a time-limited free trial, but every plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee. If it isn't helping your revision, we'll refund you in full.

Yes. Every plan includes the full platform — 2,000+ questions, the AI tutor, weakness tracking, Hot Topics, the complete Research & Statistics module, score prediction and both timed mock exams. The only difference is how long your access lasts.

If your exam is within 4–6 weeks, the 1-month plan works well for intensive revision. For most trainees, we recommend the 3-month plan for a full revision cycle. If you're starting early or want the lowest monthly cost, choose 6 months at £8.33 per month.

Questions and explanations are written against current NICE and UK guidance and reviewed by a practising GP. The bank is updated continuously, and every question has a one-click flag button — if you think something is out of date, it gets reviewed and corrected.

Yes. You can manage your plan from your account settings, and your access continues until the end of the current billing period. Every plan also comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee: if it isn't helping your revision, we'll refund you.

AKT Prep combines a 2,000+ question bank with tutor follow-ups, personalised feedback on wrong answers, weakness-focused sessions, a complete Research & Statistics module and timed mock exams. The aim is not simply to mark more questions, but to make each mistake useful for the next one.
