Can You Claim Passmedicine on Study Budget? AKT Preparation Funding Guide

Featured image for Can You Claim Passmedicine on Study Budget? AKT Preparation Funding Guide

Yes. Passmedicine AKT is unambiguously an AKT preparation resource — it is the most commonly claimed AKT tool on study budget.

Cost

Approximately £35 for 4 months. This is well within the £600 cap — leaving £565 theoretically unused.

Process

Discuss with your educational supervisor. Subscribe. Submit receipt to deanery finance. Straightforward — Passmedicine claims are routine.

The Strategic Question

£35 on Passmedicine leaves most of your £600 AKT budget unused. Some deaneries interpret "one AKT resource" strictly — one claim, regardless of whether you spent £35 or £600. Others may allow multiple claims up to the cap. Check your local interpretation.

If you can only make one claim: consider whether the £35 Passmedicine subscription is the best use of up to £600, or whether Emedica Pass Guarantee (~£1,095 — would need co-pay above £600) or Arora AKT course (check pricing) provides more value for a larger investment.

If your deanery allows multiple claims: Passmedicine (£35) + Pastest (£100) + remaining budget unspent. This is the most common approach.

The Common Approach

Claim Passmedicine (~£35) as your primary AKT Q-bank. Use iatroX (free) alongside it for adaptive targeting. Save the SCA budget allocation for a dedicated SCA tool.

Where iatroX Fits

Passmedicine for £35 + iatroX for free covers AKT thoroughly at minimal cost — leaving most of your study budget available for SCA tools.
