How to use the feedback reports
Use them to weight revision, not replace the syllabus
The reports identify patterns, but the AKT still tests the full RCGP curriculum. Keep broad coverage and add extra time for recurring weak areas.
Turn repeated themes into short daily blocks
Neurology, prescribing, confidentiality and statistics are easier to improve when you practise them repeatedly in small sessions.
Practise under the 160-question timing
The current AKT format is 160 questions in 160 minutes. Weak topics become more dangerous when you also run out of time.
For full coverage, keep the AKT syllabus open alongside feedback-report themes.

Across recent reports, recurring themes include neurology, prescribing and medication safety, evidence in practice and chart interpretation, leadership and confidentiality, and children and safeguarding.
Should I revise only the topics in the feedback reports?
No. The feedback reports show useful weak-area patterns, but the AKT still tests the full RCGP curriculum. Use the reports to weight your revision, not to narrow it too far.
