Frequently asked questions

General questions

How do I manage my subscription, renewal, and payment method?

Sign in to your account and open billing or subscription settings to view renewal date, change card details, or cancel according to the terms you accepted. Some changes may route through your app store if you purchased there.

Can I use MedRevisions on more than one device?

Yes—your subscription is tied to your login, not a single machine. For security, avoid sharing credentials; simultaneous abuse may trigger protective limits described in our terms.

Can I export my progress or question history?

Export availability depends on the feature set shipped for your plan—some dashboards offer CSV or summary downloads where implemented. If you need a formal record, contact support with your use case.

How can I contact support and how quickly do you respond?

Use the in-site help or email channel listed on the contact page, including your account email and a screenshot if something looks wrong. Response times vary by volume, but we prioritise access and billing issues.

Do you offer group discounts for hospitals or study clubs?

Institutional or bulk pricing may be available for qualifying groups; reach out via sales or support with group size and intended use. Published consumer prices apply unless a written offer states otherwise.

Is there a referral or rewards programme?

Referral schemes run periodically and are described on the marketing site or in-account banners when active. Rewards, if any, follow the rules shown at signup for that campaign.

What accessibility features are supported?

We follow common web practices for keyboard navigation, readable contrast, and scalable text where feasible. If you need a specific accommodation, tell us your browser and device so we can advise workarounds or track a feature request.

How do you protect my account and study data?

Access requires authentication, and we apply industry-standard transport security for data in transit. Use a unique strong password, enable two-factor authentication if offered, and sign out on shared computers.

Getting started

How much does MedRevisions cost, and what do I get?

Plans are subscription-based and give you access to the full web platform on supported browsers, with tiered access depending on the product you choose (for example, Study Essential versus the full question bank). Pricing is shown at checkout in your currency where available, and you can compare features on each product page before you subscribe.

Is there a free trial or a way to try before I pay?

We offer free resources and limited-access experiences so you can explore the interface and sample content before committing. Exact trial length and eligibility can change with promotions, so check the signup or pricing page for the current offer.

Where do I access the platform after I subscribe?

You sign in through the MedRevisions website with the account you created at purchase. Your subscription unlocks the relevant sections in your dashboard; use the same login on any supported device where you study.

When in my final year should I start UKMLA AKT prep?

If your med school's finals revision is grounded in the MLA Content Map (most UK schools' is now), the two largely overlap and you can start dedicated AKT prep around 8–12 weeks before your AKT window. Plan the final 4 weeks for chained Paper 1 + Paper 2 mocks and weakness mocks. The AKT-specific work — two-paper pacing, decision-order stems, ethics-integrated questions — is roughly a 30% top-up on top of solid finals revision, not a separate 100% effort.

Are all your questions and notes mapped to the 2026 MLA Content Map?

Yes. Every question, expert note, and personalised revision note carries its MLA Content Map specialty and presentation tag, visible on the question card. Re-tagging completed in our Q1 2026 release. Your dashboard shows coverage and accuracy per specialty and per presentation, so you can find your real gaps in seconds rather than reading the GMC's PDF cover-to-cover.

How is your platform different from Pastest, Quesmed, or Passmedicine for UKMLA?

We're the only UKMLA bank built and maintained by the same medical team that has served PLAB candidates since 2019 — same exam-question discipline, applied to the AKT. Every stem is mapped to the MLA Content Map, every explanation cites NICE / BNF / CKS / SIGN, and the exam debrief plus personalised revision notes (post-mortem of your wrong answers, citation-grounded) are unique to our platform. Fair comparison: try the free questions, sit one mock, and compare explanations side-by-side.

How does Paper 1 differ from Paper 2 in the UKMLA AKT?

Both papers are 100 SBAs over 2 hours. Paper 1 weights more heavily toward acute medicine, surgery, and clinical reasoning under uncertainty. Paper 2 emphasises chronic disease management, ethics, communication, and professional standards. They're sat sequentially in a single exam window — so stamina across both matters. Our mocks let you practise each separately or chain them back-to-back.

Can I use this platform alongside my med school's e-learning resources?

Yes — most UK final-year students do. Our platform is a high-yield SBA practice and revision layer on top of whatever your school provides. It complements (rather than replaces) school placements, e-learning modules, and your university's question bank. Most students use us in the final 8–16 weeks before AKT for dedicated SBA practice, two-paper mocks, and exam debrief on their weakest specialties.

Will my preparation here help with both finals and the UKMLA AKT?

Yes — they overlap by about 70–80%. Both are grounded in the MLA Content Map, so the clinical content, decision-making style, and guideline-aware management you practise here translates directly to finals SBAs and OSCEs. The AKT-specific 20–30% (two-paper pacing, decision-order stems, ethics-integrated questions, professional-standards stems) is what separates good finals revision from good AKT preparation.

What study approach does MedRevisions support?

The platform is built around active recall—questions, explanations, notes, and mocks—so you can cycle through topics, identify gaps, and revisit weak areas. You can combine daily question practice with timed mocks closer to your exam date.

Is the content aligned with current UK licensing exam expectations?

Content is written and curated for UK licensing-style clinical reasoning, guideline-aware management, and communication themes relevant to UKMLA AKT, PLAB 1, and PLAB 2. We refresh items as clinical guidance and exam emphasis evolve, but you should always cross-check critical facts with current national guidance.

Can I study on my phone or tablet?

Yes. The site is responsive and works in mobile browsers on common phones and tablets. For the most reliable experience, use an up-to-date browser and a stable connection; some features may be easier on a larger screen for long review sessions.

How often is the question bank and platform content updated?

We add and revise questions, notes, and supporting material on a rolling basis rather than in a single annual drop. Major guideline shifts or exam-relevant themes are prioritised when the editorial team updates explanations and answer rationales.

How does MedRevisions compare to other UK licensing question banks?

MedRevisions combines a large UK-focused item set with integrated study tools such as Expert Notes, AI Professor, and mock exams in one account where your plan includes them. The best fit depends on how you learn; many candidates use one primary bank and supplement with official guidance and clinical experience.

What is your refund or cancellation policy?

You can manage renewal from your account or payment provider according to the terms shown at purchase. Refund eligibility depends on the plan, jurisdiction, and payment method rules in force when you subscribed, so review the checkout terms or contact support with your order details. One-time generation packs (for example, 30- and 60-generation packs used for personalised subject notes and mock debriefs) take effect immediately and are final and non-refundable. Unused pack generations never expire while your subscription remains active, and any generation that fails on our side is automatically credited back to your balance.
