✅ What You’ll Get:

Crystal-clear teaching on confidence intervals, p-values, sensitivity/specificity, NNT & more
Interactive, case-based learning to cement your understanding
Exam-focused strategies to tackle AKT statistics questions efficiently
Access to recorded sessions and downloadable cheat sheets
A huge boost in your confidence and scores
No fluff – Just focused, high-impact teaching to help you pass the first time

Statistics Curriculum

Many GP trainees dread the stats section — not because it’s impossible, but because no one’s ever explained it properly.
That’s why our professor-led course walks you step-by-step through the most commonly failed concepts — using clear explanations, visual aids, and real AKT-style questions.

1. Confidence Intervals

Most GPs memorise the rule. We’ll help you understand it.

What does a 95% confidence interval really mean?

How do you interpret overlapping intervals in clinical trials?

Learn to visualise confidence intervals so they stick in your mind.

2. Sensitivity, Specificity & Predictive Values

Don’t just plug numbers into a table — learn when and why they matter.

Understand test performance in real-world clinical settings

Use a foolproof framework to remember the differences

Apply concepts to real patient scenarios

3. Number Needed to Treat (NNT)

Most courses give you a formula — we give you insight.

What NNT tells you about benefit, harm and resource use

How to spot when NNT is being misused in a question

Visualise risk reduction with patient case studies

4. p-values & Statistical Significance

Stop fearing p-values — start understanding them.

What does p < 0.05 actually mean (and what does it not mean)?

When statistical significance doesn’t equal clinical relevance

Unpack misleading graphs and question traps

5. Types of Study Design & Bias

Easily confused by cohort vs case-control? We’ve got you.

Master the differences with a simple comparison table

Understand how bias creeps into studies — and into AKT questions

Learn how to quickly identify the study type in a scenario
