Welcome to the IHSGAE Website
The Interhospital Study Group develops and provides the Anesthesia Knowledge Tests - AKT 1 Pre and Post, AKT 6, and AKT 24. These examinations are designed to test knowledge at the specific learner level in months as noted in the names (1, 6 or 24 months).
We are educators invested in creating the highest quality metrics to help guide the growth of residents in anesthesiology. Thank you for choosing the Anesthesia Knowledge Tests to help gauge the progress of your learners!

The AKT is now online!
In order to enhance the exam experience for residents and programs, the IHSGAE moved the AKT to an Internet-based exam delivery platform in June 2017. We work with an exam vendor, PSI AMP, to order and administer exams via secure on-line portals.
IHSGAE is a not-for-profit organization, whose members volunteer their time to produce and edit the exams. The revenue from exam sales supports the administrative and technical costs of developing, selling, administering, and processing the exams. The price of the exams has been set at the lowest level we believe is consistent with maintaining a viable organization.
