How AKT Navigator questions are built
AI-assisted does not mean raw AI output. AKT Navigator uses a structured content pipeline to draft AKT-style SBAs, validate the marked answer from a UK primary-care perspective, strengthen the reasoning, build teaching explanations and collect user reports for correction.
This is not a claim that every question is doctor-written or individually clinician-reviewed. AKT Navigator is independent, not affiliated with or endorsed by the RCGP, and intended as a supplementary exam-revision tool - not clinical advice and not a sole source of truth.
Pipeline
AI-assisted, not AI-dumped. Built for AKT exam revision, with a report button on every question and explanation.
The short version
AKT Navigator questions are AI-assisted and pass through a structured process: draft, validate, harden, explain, report and correct. The validation stage uses a UK primary-care lens and may reference sources such as NICE CKS, BNF/BNFC, DVLA, FSRH/UKMEC, UKHSA and legacy PHE resources where relevant. Users can report every question and explanation. AKT Navigator is independent, not RCGP-endorsed, and intended for exam revision only.
Content pipeline
The question pipeline
The public version is simple: draft, validate, harden, explain, report and correct.
- Draft
Draft the SBA
Questions start as GP-relevant single best answer items with a short clinical vignette, five same-type answer options and a near-miss distractor.
- Validate
Validate the answer
The marked answer is checked from a UK primary-care perspective using a source hierarchy such as NICE guidance, NICE CKS, BNF/BNFC, DVLA, FSRH/UKMEC, UKHSA and legacy PHE resources where relevant.
- Harden
Harden the reasoning
The stem is refined so the question tests the decisive clinical detail rather than obvious recall. A tempting near-miss should be plausible, but still wrong in this scenario.
- Explain
Build the teaching explanation
Explanations are structured around the key clue, what the question is testing, the common trap, why the other options are wrong and the AKT learning point.
- Correct
Report and correct
Every question and explanation has a report button. Users can flag unclear, unsafe, outdated, non-AKT-like or possibly wrong items. Reports feed into the review/correction process.
What the checks are designed to catch
The checks are intended to make question practice more useful and safer for exam revision. They are not a claim of clinical validation.
- wrong marked answer
- mixed answer types
- obvious/non-discriminating question
- stem gives away the answer
- near-miss distractor is not genuinely tempting
- explanation is too vague
- wrong-answer explanations lack a specific reason
- guideline-sensitive answer needs cross-checking
- unsafe or outdated clinical implication
- not AKT-like wording
Guidance lens
UK primary-care guidance lens
AKT Navigator is designed for UK GP trainees, so answer validation and explanations are framed from a UK primary-care perspective.
Depending on the topic, the validation stage may reference NICE guidance, NICE CKS, BNF/BNFC, DVLA fitness-to-drive guidance, FSRH/UKMEC contraception guidance, UKHSA infection or vaccination guidance, and legacy PHE resources where relevant.
Guidance changes. AKT Navigator should not replace checking the current source directly, especially for prescribing, paediatric dosing, immunisation schedules, contraception eligibility, DVLA rules and other guideline-sensitive areas.
How to report a question
Every question and explanation includes a report button. Use it if something feels unclear, unsafe, outdated, not AKT-like, or possibly wrong.
Reports are used to correct, rewrite, retire or re-run items through the pipeline. We are not currently claiming formal clinician editorial-board review for every item.
Caveats
What we do not claim
This is the part a sceptical GP trainee should be able to find quickly.
- We do not claim AKT Navigator is affiliated with or endorsed by the RCGP.
- The free question bank is AI-assisted, not doctor-written.
- The free question bank is not individually clinician-reviewed item by item.
- We do not claim our explanations replace NICE CKS, BNF/BNFC or official guidance.
- We do not claim readiness estimates guarantee an exam result.
- We do not provide clinical advice.
- We do not recommend using AKT Navigator as your only AKT resource.
How we recommend using AKT Navigator
Use AKT Navigator for extra SBA practice, timed mock discipline, structured explanations, weak-area detection and audio revision. Use official RCGP materials, trainer advice, current NICE CKS/BNF/BNFC guidance and established resources alongside it, especially close to the exam.
Good for
- extra SBA reps
- timed mock practice
- identifying weak areas
- learning from wrong-answer explanations
- revising during commutes or low-energy time with audio
Cross-check
- prescribing details
- DVLA / fitness to drive
- immunisation schedules
- contraception eligibility
- paediatric dosing
- rapidly changing guidance
- niche thresholds
What we are improving next
This page will evolve as the governance process improves. The next trust layer is making corrections, report outcomes and guidance-sensitive updates more visible.
- public correction/update log
- more visible report outcomes
- clearer privacy/data wording
- clearer handling of guideline-sensitive topics
- sample question examples before sign-up
- potential clinician/editorial oversight if and when established
FAQ
Content governance FAQ
Short answers to the questions doctors usually ask once they see AI-assisted question practice.
Are the questions doctor-written?
No. The questions are AI-assisted and structured through a content pipeline. We are not claiming that every question is doctor-written or individually clinician-reviewed.
Is AKT Navigator endorsed by the RCGP?
No. AKT Navigator is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the RCGP.
Can I use this as my only AKT resource?
We do not recommend using AKT Navigator as your only source. It is best used as a supplementary practice tool alongside official RCGP resources, trainer advice, current NICE CKS/BNF/BNFC guidance and other established resources.
What happens if I report a question?
Reports feed into the review/correction process. Items may be corrected, rewritten, retired or re-run through the pipeline depending on the issue.
Does the app give clinical advice?
No. It is for exam revision only, not clinical advice.
Are readiness estimates a pass prediction?
No. Readiness estimates are revision guidance, not a guarantee of exam performance.
Why is the question bank free?
The free practice layer lets trainees practise and judge the explanation style without another upfront subscription. Full audio revision is the optional paid upgrade.
Try the free question bank with the caveats in mind.
Start with free AKT-style questions, timed mocks and structured explanations. Cross-check guideline-sensitive areas when needed.
