  • •AI-generated feedback including key point coverage analysis and qualitative commentary
  • •A live transcript of each session

2.2 What Axent does not provide

Axent is a revision and practice tool only. It is not:

  • •A guarantee of exam success or any particular clinical outcome
  • •A source of verified medical advice or clinical guidance
  • •An accredited assessment tool recognised by the Royal College of Surgeons of England or any examining body

Feedback generated by Axent is produced by an AI language model. It is provided for educational purposes only. It may be incomplete, inaccurate, or not reflective of current clinical guidelines. Always verify clinical information against authoritative sources and consult appropriate supervisors.

2.3 Exam scope

Axent covers the viva (oral) component of the FRCS (ORL-HNS) Part 2 examination only. Clinical short cases, communication skills stations, and operative surgery stations are not simulated.

3. Account Registration and Access

3.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. Axent is intended for use by qualified or trainee medical professionals preparing for surgical examinations.

3.2 Waitlist and approval

Access to Axent is granted by invitation during the MVP phase. Creating an account places you on a waitlist. Access is granted at the sole discretion of Axent. We reserve the right to approve or decline any application without providing a reason.

3.3 Account security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You must not share your account with any other person. You must notify us immediately at [hello@axent.app] if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

3.4 Account termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time if you breach these Terms, misuse the service, or if we determine at our discretion that continued access is not appropriate.

4. Session Caps and Usage Limits

4.1 Free tier

Users approved during the MVP phase receive access to 5 free single station sessions. Mock exam sessions (4 stations) are not available on the free tier.

4.2 Cap enforcement

Sessions count toward your cap only upon full completion and feedback generation. Abandoning a session mid-way does not consume a cap slot.

4.3 Post-cap access

Once your session cap is reached, you will not be able to start new sessions. Your account, dashboard, and all past feedback remain fully accessible. You will be notified when paid subscription plans become available.

4.4 Future plans
