How UKMLA is conducted

• Mode
  Standard — practice without proctoring on Wrexa Edge, or enable optional webcam proctoring to simulate test-day conditions.
• Test format
  Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.
• Backtracking
  Allowed — you can revisit and change answers within a section.
• Mark for review
  Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.

Tools available during the UKMLA exam

• Lab Values
  Built-in lab values reference table (USMLE-style).

Wrexa Edge renders these tools inside the mock test exactly as they appear on the real UKMLA exam — same shortcuts, same behaviour.

UKMLA time strategy

With 200 questions in 300 minutes, you have about 90 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:

• AKT Paper 1 (100 Q)
  Target ~90 sec/question. If a question takes more than 135 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• AKT Paper 2 (100 Q)
  Target ~90 sec/question. If a question takes more than 135 seconds, mark for review and move on.

Wrexa Edge's analytics show your actual time-per-question after every mock so you can spot which sections you're losing time on.
