As a UK med student, Oncourse has brought so many useful revision tools into one place. Rezzy helps me break down difficult concepts, and it's made studying for the UKMLA feel much more manageable.

Genuinely impressive platform for medical students — there's nothing else quite like it right now. The interactive formats, especially games like Image Rush and Clinical Rounds, make revision feel far more engaging.

Oncourse let me practise as many questions as I needed, in a way that actually kept me engaged. Most platforms only give limited coverage for weaker UKMLA topics, but this made targeted revision much easier.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between AKT and CPSA?

The AKT is a computer-based test of applied knowledge across clinical medicine, critical appraisal, and evidence-based practice. The CPSA assesses clinical and professional skills through OSCE-style stations. Oncourse prepares you for both.

Is this aligned with UK guidelines?

Yes. All content references NICE, SIGN, BNF, and GMC Learning Outcomes. Drug names and protocols follow UK formulations.

How does Clinical Rounds help with CPSA?

Clinical Rounds simulates all 17 CPSA station types with AI patients. You practise history-taking, examinations, communication, and management, with instant feedback on every attempt.

When should I start preparing for UKMLA?

Most students begin 3–6 months before their exam. Starting earlier gives you time to build strong recall with spaced repetition and iterate on weak areas before the exam.

Does Oncourse work on mobile?

Yes. Oncourse is available on iOS and Android. You can study on desktop too. Your progress syncs across all devices.

How much does Oncourse cost?

£59.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, £10.99 a month, or £6.99 a week. Every plan includes UKMLA AKT and PLAB 1.
