Hi everyone,

Just wondering how everyone else is coping while waiting for the UKMLA AKT results from the 23rd/24th June sitting? Results should be out by 13th July and honestly the wait is driving me mad.

I came out of the exam hall feeling... okay? Not amazing, but not like I'd completely failed either. However, since getting home I've made the mistake of Googling questions and discussing answers with friends, and the more I check, the worse I feel.

Personally I thought Paper 1 was an absolute monstrosity, whereas Paper 2 felt much fairer. Now I'm convincing myself I must have failed because I keep remembering questions I got wrong.

For context, I prepared pretty consistently from the beginning of the year. I completed all of Passmed and Quesmed, did the MSC mocks and was generally scoring in the low- to mid-70s (sometimes a bit higher) across the mocks. So I felt reasonably prepared going in, which somehow makes the post-exam anxiety even worse.

For those who've sat the AKT before:

• Did you keep revising while waiting for results, just in case?
• Or did you take a proper break and try to switch off?

I'm honestly feeling really burnt out and don't know whether continuing to study is sensible or if it'll just make me more anxious.

Would really appreciate hearing how everyone else is feeling or how previous candidates found the wait. Good luck to everyone waiting! 🤞

For context, I prepared pretty consistently from the beginning of the year. I completed all of Passmed and Quesmed, did the MSC mocks and a few PLABABLE mocks, and was generally scoring in the low- to mid-70s (sometimes a bit higher) across the mocks. So I felt reasonably prepared going in, which somehow makes the post-exam anxiety even worse.
