The AKT question writers are all working GPs from across the UK who have been specifically trained to write questions according to internationally recognised best practise. The RCGP has an extensive bank of over 4000 questions that are reviewed and updated prior to use in any exam. An individual item writer will be expected to create new evidence-based items with answer justifications or to improve versions of older questions. Topics are identified by the AKT group as needing updating owing to shifting evidence, gaps in the curriculum or emergence of new clinical practice. Questions are mapped to the RCGP Curriculum and are based on common and/or important areas that a GP might encounter in their day-to-day working life
