AKT Flashcards (Active Recall for Fast Knowledge Retention)
AKT Flashcards leverage scientifically proven active recall and spaced repetition methods, shown to achieve two to three times greater long term retention compared to passive review methods such as rereading notes [3]. Flashcards optimise revision efficiency by reinforcing critical knowledge.
Specifically, AKT flashcards help by:
Covering over 1500 essential AKT topics including guidelines, diagnostic criteria, and management protocols [1].
Automatically scheduling revisions at scientifically validated intervals for maximum retention with minimal effort.
Allowing quick revision sessions, just 10 to 15 minutes daily, ideal for busy GP trainees.
For example, trainees can efficiently revise hypertension guidelines between patient consultations or memorise critical ECG interpretation steps during commutes. Using AKT flashcards transforms routine downtime into highly productive revision sessions, dramatically improving retention. Regular active recall ensures immediate information retrieval during exams, crucial given the AKT allows around 1.6 minutes per question (150 questions, 4 hours duration) [4, 5].
(Discover more tips for active recall in our [dedicated AKT revision techniques article].)
AKT + KFP Question Bank (Realistic, Guideline Based Cases)
The AKT + KFP Question Bank provides extensive exam standard practice through realistic clinical cases and multiple choice questions. Designed by RACGP examiners, it includes over 2000 realistic questions (1300 AKT and 1000 KFP), accurately reflecting exam complexity and pacing demands.
Key benefits include:
Realistic Australian general practice scenarios that build clinical reasoning and decision making skills.
Detailed explanations referencing RACGP and Australian Therapeutic Guidelines, reinforcing guideline adherence.
Timed mock exams that improve speed, accuracy, and exam endurance.

-
Brainscape: Uses adaptive algorithms to determine when you should review each flashcard based on your confidence level.
-
Anki: Allows custom deck creation for topics like PBS rules or emergency management.
-
Quizlet: Offers collaborative decks for study groups.
Using these tools allows you to:
-
Review flashcards during commutes or between patients.
-
Automatically revisit topics you’re struggling with.
-
Track progress and identify weak areas.
These platforms bring structure to your study plan, ensuring regular reinforcement and better recall.
(For time management strategies, see our AKT Study Planner.)
How to Combine These Methods for Peak Performance
When you combine active recall with spaced repetition, the results are exponential. This combination, known as “spaced retrieval practice”, creates a continuous cycle of learning, forgetting, and relearning that strengthens memory.
-
Start early (at least 6–12 months before your exam).
-
Create flashcards for each guideline or high-yield topic.
-
Use Brainscape or Anki daily to review material in spaced cycles.
-
Schedule mock exams every 3–4 weeks to test your applied knowledge.
Research indicates spaced repetition can significantly increase long-term retention, with spaced learners achieving approximately 58% accuracy compared to 43% among traditional learners (p<0.001) [4].
By six months into this method, most candidates report not only improved recall but also better confidence under pressure. You’re no longer scrambling to remember—you’re retrieving information automatically.
