MLA Content Map 2026: AKT Coverage Checklist | MedRevisions

What changed

• The 2026 MLA Content Map lists every clinical presentation and condition the GMC may test — there's no 'beyond-syllabus' AKT content.
• Every stem on our platform is tagged with its Content Map specialty and presentation, so your coverage is visible per topic, not just per specialty.
• We've now mapped all 5,000+ questions and every expert note to the 2026 Content Map — older stems were re-tagged in the Q1 2026 release.

Why it matters for your score

• Most AKT candidates fail not because they didn't study hard enough, but because their study skipped 2-3 specialties they didn't notice were missing. A Content Map audit catches that before exam day.
• Coverage is more predictive of pass than total volume practised. 4,000 questions on 80% of topics will under-perform 2,500 questions across 100% of topics.
• Final-year UK med-school curricula align well with the Content Map but never perfectly — there are always small gaps (commonly: dermatology presentations, ENT, ethics-integrated stems, prescribing safety scenarios).

Practical checklist

• Open the dashboard's MLA Content Map view — it shows your accuracy and attempt count for every specialty you've practised.
• Find the specialties with fewer than 15 attempts logged. Those are your coverage gaps regardless of how many total questions you've done elsewhere.
• Sort by accuracy and tackle anything below 65% before anything above 80% — score gain compounds on weak topics, not strong ones.
• Generate a Weakness Mock once you have 50+ attempts logged. It auto-targets your 4-6 lowest specialties.
• Re-check coverage 2 weeks before exam — if any specialty has fewer than 25 attempts, run a focused block before sitting your final full mock.
