“Practice by Categories” and “Revision Guides”.

Do Not Be Discouraged!
Words from our PLABABLE team
Remember, that we too had to pass the PLAB exam.

Most of us passed back in 2016 where the exam
was much longer. In 2016, the exam consisted of
200 questions to be completed in 3 hours. It is now
180 questions to be completed in 3 hours.
There were not many social groups and there were

no online platforms to help with studying back then.
You now have the support of us (consultants, GPs

and senior registrars) who are dedicated to helping
you pass your PLAB 1 exam. So DO NOT be
discouraged! Form a study group and work hard!
PLABABLE
Tips on Flagging
Study Your Flag Questions Daily
Always flag the questions that you think you are

most likely to get wrong in the exam.
Ensure you go through them everyday and only

unflag them close to the exam once you are
confident that you would not make that mistake.
PLABABLE
Complete All Categories
One of the mistakes that candidates make is

believing that certain categories are less important
than others in the exam. They are all equally
important and so completing ALL the categories is
recommended.
PLABABLE
Resetting questions?
Resetting your account may NOT be the best course

of action for your revision. Your first attempt is in the
“practice by category” section. Your second attempt
would be the “timed mocks”. This means that you
have attempted every question we have twice. From
then on, you should be flagging the questions that
you are likely to get wrong and understand the
concept.
Resetting the question bank would allow you to do

the questions again but it would essentially mean
that you start to recognise key words of the
questions and go straight for an answer instead of
understanding the concept of why that is the answer.
Candidates who memorise questions instead of

understanding the concepts tend to fail because
questions are always twisted from what you are used
to.

Exam Hints & Tips
Plabable was the only question bank I practised for

my PLAB 1 exam.
The questions in exam were similar to the ones in
question bank. I will advise practising all the modules
at least twice before exam. It will also help you
become a better physician.
The mocks helps you manage your time in your
exam.
Do not go for multiple question banks! Stick to one
and doing it repeatedly will be more beneficial for
you.

Test Venue - Colombo, Sri Lanka. Score: 160. Prep

time: 6 months.
I used Plabable for most of my journey & completed
the questions once before attempting 17 mocks.
Gems were invaluable since they provided crisp,
clear & easy-to-understand flash cards appropriately
written for challenging topics. They also saved a load
of time when I was looking to get some quick
revision done.
I would say that the Plabable questions are very
similar in complexity & depth when it comes to
creating questions similarly to what would be seen
on the real test. I improved my timing using the
mocks. The explanations & summaries in the
revision guides & answer descriptions helped me
broaden the scope of topics I was studying & it
helped me feel confident in answering. highly
recommend the combination of Gems and the
question bank to help anyone pass the exam and
calm any nerves one may feel on the real test day.

least 3 to 4 times before taking the exam, and you
will surely clear the exam with a good score.

Plabable Gems helped a lot.

My tips on acing the exam is practising one Gem

My name is Dr Kudzai. I graduated from medical

school in Ukraine in 2019, and since I’ve been doing
my master’s in Neurosurgery. About a year and a
half ago, as we all know, an unprecedented event
happened in Ukraine, and we all had to split into
different regions and corners of the world.
I landed in the UK, and I had to go through PLAB to
practice as a doctor. Given the gap between when I
got my PMQ and when I was without an internship,
my medical knowledge had depleted. I researched
PLAB sources, and Plabable topped the lists, which
pointed me towards subscribing. I went through
Plabable, solved 15 mocks and took time to go
through Gems daily; this helped me a lot, and I
passed my exam. During the exam, I was laughing
while answering questions.

Exam Hints & Tips
I recommend studying Gems of a specific topic

followed by the Question Bank of that topic; make
notes of the information not given in Gems.
Take your time during the 1st read, then do it all over
again the 2nd time. 3rd time, revise Gems again and
do flagged questions only, and one mock a day.
Aced my exam with 160/180 with the same
approach.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
I just to want to say that I passed my exam by

learning from Plabable.
Your Gems are truly Gems, plus clinchers that
helped a lot.
I think the tip for passing the exam is to revise as
many times as possible. Many questions were the
same as those in Plabable, so by revising multiple
times, these questions will click in a second in your
mind during exam time.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Start reading a Gem and also open revision guides

in another tab. In the revision guide tab, search with
the name of the subject you are reading currently.
For example, if you read palliative care, search with
the keywords palliative care in the search bar. You'll
find the revision guides related to palliative care.
Thus, read a topic from gems and revision guides
simultaneously. Then, answer the questions from the
subject-wise question bank. Therefore you can finish
the whole plabable very rapidly.
Please read every subject with equal importance.
You don't know where they will set the exam
questions.
I passed PLAB 1 with a score of 160/180. Thanks to

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
It is important to build a healthy study routine and

stick with this routine no matter what.
But please do not forget to take care of yourself as
well. Focus on the topics that you think are your
weaknesses, and take time to learn these topics.
However, do not be complacent with the topics that
you think you are too familiar with already. There is
always something new to learn. Cover everything,
and cover as much as you can. And remember,
study for your patients. :)
Thank you!

Hello there!
I took my PLAB 1 exam in November 2022 after
several personal setbacks and delay, and I think I
owe my success to PLABABLE.
Trust me when I say PLABABLE is all you need!!!
My own tips:
1. Read each of the Plabable Gems on each course
2. Attempt 2 mocks
3. Read the Gems on each course again
4. Attempt the Question Bank on each course
5. Go through the clincher Gems
6. Brush up on your weak areas
7. Read the Gems again
This should take 3 dedicated months.
All the best.

Yes, PLAB 1 isn't an easy exam. But it isn't a difficult
one either. All you need to do is to gather appropriate
knowledge & apply them in the smoothest way. And
Plabable will help you to reach your target.
I gave 13/14 free mocks & a Big Mock. Highly

Exam Hints & Tips
I started my preparation 1.5 months before the exam

date (NOV 22). I took my leave for a month and was
constantly working before that. I didn’t have much
time and had a lot to cover.
I approached my preparation by reading Plabable
Gems of one category and then solving its questions
right after. You won’t remember a lot from your first
read, but the key here is the questions you get
wrong; refer back to them in the Gems and keep
re-reading the Gems.
After you reach a set of questions, say 80, you will
get the hang of it as the questions repeat but are
worded differently, so the more you keep referring
back to Gems, the better it’ll be for you to remember.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
The major subjects took longer for me to finish, and I

didn’t stress about how much time I was giving them
because I knew I was short on time already, so I had
to study them properly and understand the concepts
in and out.
In the exam, questions are not repeated from
Plabable, but the concepts are the same no matter
how the question is worded, so allow yourself time to
grasp the concept and read the Plabable revision
guides linked under every question; but make sure
you do all categories, I finished solving all questions
10 days before the exam, managed to only do two
mocks and still passed.
Watch YouTube videos to help remember if you’re a

Exam Hints & Tips
Hi!
I have recently passed my PLAB 1 exam… I found
Plabable very helpful.
Firstly, you have to do the Plabable MCQs topic wise
then go for the mocks at the last. At least you should
do 8 -10 mocks. So, topic-wise MCQs first and then
mocks and always read the description of answers of
MCQs.
Thank you!!!

Exam Hints & Tips
I have recently passed the exam with a mark of 155.

First of all, let me convey my gratitude for Plabable’s
hard work in providing us with such a good mcq
bank with up-to-date knowledge.
I studied only Plabable for the PLAB.
I did the Practice by Category mcqs first with all the
explanations.
Then I did all the mock tests available to practice the
timing, which I think is very important before you sit
the exam.
Identifying the keyword in an mcq and remembering
those is very important to save time in the exam.
I had only 2.5 months of preparation time but feel
like 4 months of preparation is better.
During the exam day, it's better to divide the paper
into 3 parts - first, second and third hour, with 60
mcqs per each.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
After one hour, you should be on question 61. In that

way, the candidate will be able to keep up with the
time.
It's wise to move fast if you don't know the answer
and take the best guess for that mcq.
Finally, I greatly appreciate Plabable’s hard work in
providing such amazing study materials.
Thank you, and all the best.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Dear all candidates who are planning to give the

PLAB 1 exam, consider these tips before preparing
for and appearing in the exam.
1. Take time and give one read system-wise to
PLABABLE. We have each category like cardio, ER,
and endo likewise, read the question well and read
explanations in detail.
2. Do not forget to attend last minute revision course
with tutors of PLABABLE it’s highly recommended.
3. Before you appear for the exam, at least 3 times,
revise the course. Read Plabable Gem because as
much as you repeat, you get the concept in a better
way.
4. Plabable is sufficient don’t go for other materials
and waste time.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
5. Many students have difficulty in solving statistics

and genetic questions. To make it easy, just read the
questions from the Plabable repeat, repeat, repeat,
and you will understand the concept and ace it
easily.
6. For those students who are appearing for the
exam out of the country, please apply for the visa on
time.
7. Exam is not very easy and not very tough, so stick
to Plabable. Understand the concept, read well,
repeat if you don’t understand, write it down and
read again. Repetition is key.
8. Plabable mock is highly recommended don’t
forget this.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
9. One day before the exam, just relax, pray and

relax, take a warm bath, and eat well. It will go well
because you prepared it well! You have used all the
right resources. Sleep well, at least 7 hours.
10. When you are attempting any question in the
exam, you don’t have time to think and answer
because one question is = to 1 minute, so just read
well, choose the answer and move on. Don’t think
and waste time. Keep marking, and keep reading the
next question.
11. On the day of the exam, I took bananas; I
finished almost 5 bananas before entering to my
exam hall it gave me the energy I was full and didn’t
feel hungry. One of my friends took chocolates so
you can try this. Some people were going to the
bathroom and drinking water - this is time taking;
make sure not to waste time by going and coming,
as each minute is precious.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
12. After my exam, I was not even worried for a

single moment that I would lose this exam because
Plabable makes you learn so well and educate you
as a better Dr to pass PLAB 1. My confidence level
rose after I attended the 4-day Plabable Revision
Course, so guys, do attend this course.
13. Good luck, and help others. As you make things
easy for others, GOD will make things easier for you
too.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Passing PLAB 1 is doable using Plabable only, and I

highly recommend it and don’t advise using too
many resources because different resources can
have contradicting information, which in the end only
adds to you feeling confused and even more
anxious.
I only used Plabable to study, and I managed to
safely pass the exam in my first attempt with three
months of studying.
When I first started studying, I found that the amount
of information to study was quite overwhelming, and
I started to panic. But I only had 3 months to study,
so I needed a plan quickly. And basically, what I did
was I first attempted the questions in the categories
without first revising any notes; I wanted to test my
medical school knowledge and identify the topics
that I needed to revise more in-depth.
Contributed by: Carmen

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
It’s okay if you don’t get above 70% for a category

because this is only an indicator that you perhaps
need more time to revise certain topics within the
section.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. Simply make sure you
read the full explanations of the answers and take
time to read the revision guides, and make sure that
you UNDERSTAND and NOT MEMORISE!!! You
need to be able to INTEGRATE KNOWLEDGE!
After I finished all the categories, I did 7 practice
mocks. Again, if you don’t get above 70%, don’t
panic. Go back and read the revision guide on the
topics you are failing to understand. The questions in
the practice mocks are the same questions from the
question bank that you answered when you did the
different categories; therefore, you might simply just
be getting a higher score in the practice mocks
because your brain memorised or recognised the
answer.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
So be cautious about how you interpret the 80% or

90% that you get for these.
The reason that I did not do all of the practice mocks
is that the questions were just a repetition from the
question banks, and I felt like I needed to challenge
my knowledge and actually gauge what I still needed
to brush up on. So I then did the Seeds, which
comes with the Gems package. The Gems cards are
nicely summarised, the Clinchers are also good, and
I used the last two to condense key information
about the topics.
Lastly, on the last week before my exam, I attempted
the big mock, and the score I got for the big mock
was very close to the score I got for the actual exam.
I scored higher in the exam, obviously because I
went back and revised some topics I saw I was weak
in during the big mock.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
It is important to time yourself when you practice the

mocks because the time factor is what everyone
struggles with in the actual exam. So learn how to
pace yourself while staying calm.
The exam questions are very straightforward and not
too complex. They want to see that you have a basic
knowledge and understanding of medicine and are a
safe doctor.
Good luck!

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
My tip for the preparation of exam is that try to

complete all your syllabus in time and try to solve as
many questions as you can while you study.
Try to do questions at least twice and make sure that
you are thorough with your subject.
After completing your questions and study material
for which Plabable gems are quite useful the next
thing would be mock exams.
Try to complete your mock exam with at least 15-30
min to spare so that you get good time management
skills.That will definitely help you.
So in a nutshell make your concepts thorough.
Try to understand the concept rather than mugging it
And please pay special attention for time
management.
Rest the God will take care !

Hello, my name is Dr Varthini Karvannan

I passed the plab 1 exam yesterday 🎉
A huge thanks to Plabable team ❤
I used only plabable for my entire preparation.
To be really honest , I purchased medrevisions and
plabverse, but I found a lot of errors and outright
copied material from plabable revision guides and
explanations. So that’s when I decided to stick only
to plabable. I attended two Webinars prior to the
exam.
So coming to the main preparation, I started
preparing exactly 2 months before the exam.I started
reading the gems chapter wise and then attempted
the questions. I kept doing this until I completed all
the categories. Then instead of resetting the
account, I purchased a new account and did
category wise for big chapters alone.
Took my own notes while solving the questions and
in the last 10 days , I did one plabable mock and one
big mock.

I was very scared at times, I felt my preparation was

not enough. But the Big mock score was very
motivating , I got 138 in the October big mock and
131 in the real exam.
My go to material was the Gems, I felt it was very

precise and all the bullet points were covered in it. I
was reading only the gems for the last two days. The
November exam was actually on the tougher side
but still 70% of the exam content was covered in
plabable.
The October big mock passing score was 116 and

the real exam minimum score was also 116.
Happy to have chosen plabable for my exam.
I also used the Aspire2Plab to book plab 2 (they offer

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Plabable has been my biggest asset for plab 1 prep.

Advice would be:
1. Read the gems for one subject and then solve all
the questions. And take your time with it really
understand the explanations given. Those
explanations give a lot of insight to how you should
modify your problem solving strategy.
2. Have plenty of time to solve mocks. Take one
mock once you've finished solving all your questions
then on the basis of that mock figure out your weak
subjects or areas. Revise them and then revise
whatever you feel are weak areas for you.
Then give another mock.
3. I would actually suggest buying big mocks as they
are not repeated questions that you've already
solved before.
4. Last minute Webinar and hardest question
Webinar is actually a life saver. It helped me avoid
many many mistakes I could've made when giving
my exam.

Exam Hints & Tips
We usually hear that Plab 1 is an easy exam. From

personal experience I’d say we shouldn’t consider it
easy but not too hard either. It’s all a game of time
management and nerve control.
Prep time:
● 3 months at least
● If you’re working with on-calls, it’s better to start
much earlier so you can stay consistent with the
little you accomplish every day
Qbank:
● Plabable subscription (with the gems)
Initiative:
● Start off by noting down all the topics with the no.
Of Qs in each category and then divide time for
all categories accordingly
● Do 1 mock as your beginning mock and see
where you stand so you know what you’ll be
building upon.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
What to do:
● Read the explanations of all Qs given below each
in order to make the concept stronger.
● Flag difficult/ incorrect Qs as you go along so you
can get back to them later in your revision
● If you find it easy to study notes, it’s always better
to write your own little notes as you complete a
category focusing mainly on the important/
difficult things and on the Qs you got wrong.
● Try to do Plabable twice (really depends on your
concepts/learning, but definitely worth it)
● As you revise topics, unflag Qs as they become
easier
● One tip is to track your daily accomplishments
and keep a weekly or fortnightly goal so you can
reflect on where you stand.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Close to the BIG DAY:

● Now that the anxiety is high, retaining information
is difficult, don’t learn any new concepts.
● Rather revise what you’ve done and focus on the
high yield topics and points.
● Always attempt the mocks with a timer. The
importance of time management cannot be
stressed enough.
● Attempt mocks more often near to the exam with
a timer and on an OMR sheet with an HB pencil.
That will give a true feel of the exam and once
you’ve practiced it enough, minor things won’t
make you anxious on the day.
● Check your mocks, focus on your mistakes and
revise those topics carefully. It’s better to make
mistakes, learn from them before the actual test.
● Try to attempt a big mock near the exam as those
Qs will be different from the Q bank and serve as
a taster for the exam. This will also help you
evaluate where you stand.

Exam Hints & Tips
The Big Day:
Prerequisites:
● Stationery - HB pencils, eraser, sharpener
● ID - passport, driving license
● Water bottle (with no label)
● A good night sleep
● It’s better to eat something before the exam and
use the bathroom beforehand.
● You can take fruit or chocolates into the exam
hall but with the wrappers removed.
● You’ve worked really hard for this, now is the time
to give it your utmost best this one last time!
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL FUTURE PLABBERS!!

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
● You can’t possibly imagine how hard and

time-consuming for an examiner to write a
question properly, a question that could carry
hints, leading and misleading information for you
to solve in under a minute. Focus and don’t take
any questions lightly.
● You have to go through plabable gems first and
then solve its questions in the bank. With every
repetition you will learn something new, either
missed or not fully understood previously.
● As you solve questions, don’t be misled with a
high score in each category without learning the
idea behind each question and why the other
choices were wrong. Getting the idea is the goal
of studying to get the right choice in the exam.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
● Solve some math questions daily. Train your

brain to deal with numbers and calculations as
fast as you can to help you solve epidemiology
questions. They can be the most
time-consuming.
● If time got you on your exam day, flip the exam
notebook to its end and solve it backwards. The
very last questions are sometimes shorter
because they know you are running out of time.
Long or short, they are all one mark each so
better solve as many as you can.
● Don’t focus on some chapters as they might yield
a higher number of questions. We had more
epidemiology and genetics questions than most
of the so-called high yield chapters like
paediatrics or gynaecology or neurology etc...

● Practice mock questions on OMR sheets coz

thats what takes time in the exam. Time
management is everything in the exam.
● Read all the choices before picking ur answer coz
even if u know the question there might be a
better answer
● Don’t cram questions understand the choices
better when studying Plabable then make ur own
short notes
● Big mocks are worth it
● Focus on one or 2 resources and stick to
them…so much false information out there
● Clinchers are life changing but can also be
distractors if u don’t pay attention to the question

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
1. Build your foundation with Plabable gems and

then go on to solve the category wise questions.
Repeat this cycle as many times as possible.
2. Be on the lookout for new questions which are

constantly added on by Plabable. Do not worry
about the NICE guidelines so much as you will
find the necessary resources on Plabable.
3. Focus on building the concept and not learning

the question. In that way, you can handle
unfamiliar questions in the exam with confidence.
4. Practise mocks from the first day, with a timer.

The first mock will give an idea about where you
stand. Plan your study schedule accordingly.
5. Attend the relevant webinars and the revision

courses, if you need to. They are very helpful.

Exam Hints & Tips
6. Beware of red herrings..even if you see an

obvious clincher...do SKIM the question AT
LEAST ONCE. One tiny word or phrase may
change the answer.
7. Aim to go through the paper so that you can

attempt all the questions. Don’t dwell on the ones
you find difficult or confusing or time consuming
(epidemiology or genetics e.g.)..come back to
them after answering the rest.
TIME MANAGEMENT IS KEY.
Finally, don't overdo it. PLAB is a simple exam..not

very easy but pretty doable. You might be confused
after giving the exam as to how it went and
panic...but do remember...IT IS NORMAL.
YOU GOT THIS..YOU WILL ACE IT. All the best!
Contributed by: Sujaya Chattopadhyay

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
1. Understand the concepts. Focus to make sure you

fully understand the language of the question.
When you practise from the Question Bank, do not
just jump on the clinchers but instead understand
what they are asking to ensure you get the most
accurate answer. When you understand the
importance of these steps, concepts and
guidelines, there is no room for confusion.
2. Developing insight is very important. Answering a

question correctly does not always mean that you
understand it. For example ECG and ABG
analysis, take time to understand these topics to
ensure you answer them quickly in the exam.
3. Emergency Medicine is very confusing at first

when you do not understand the basic algorithm
of the subject but once you do, getting these
correct in the exam is highly rewarding.

this works for me to remember the rheumatology
antibodies, various syndromes and contraception
options.
5. Trust PLABABLE. Read whatever you like but

keep plabable in the center of your circle. Medical
knowledge and materials are never ending but
stay focused on the exam and certainly
PLABABLE has cracked what PLAB wants.
Best of luck to all of you!

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Where to begin is the real question…It's very taxing

and daunting for anyone no matter how good they
are in studies to appear for an exam especially
which has limited number of attempts.
To prepare for PLAB 1 the first thing you need is to

believe in yourself that you will clear the exam and
even if you don’t, you will not get disheartened as it’s
not the end of the world!!
Some honest tips would be :

1. Start preparing at least 3 months prior to your
exam date.
2. Firstly go through the Plabable question bank

cover to cover along with Plabable GEMS of the
subject you are doing at the time !!
3. Start with the MOCKS to get another run through

the Question bank on a shuffle and under a timer.

4. Reset and do mocks again as new questions

are added by Dr. Sze on a daily basis.
5. Attend 4 Day Revision course at least once

because there are things which you think you
know but you don’t hence its called a revision
course :p
6. If you have any doubts always take a look at the

revision guide which is available with the notes
of the topic you are stuck on.
7. No point in taking multiple Question banks

from various sources - stick with one and
do it thoroughly to make it easy in the long run.
8. Time management - try finishing the Plabable

mocks within 2 hours so that you can finish the
actual exam on time.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Some exam hints:
1. Read the questions carefully, keeping in mind

what the question is asking you in the end.
2. Don’t be overconfident when you read the

question and you feel that you know the answer!!
Read the whole question in its entirety and try to
understand what is being asked.
3. Directly mark the answer on the OMR sheet

rather than the question booklet, it saves plenty
of time.
4. You can mark the question which you have a

doubt on and move on, don’t waste more than a
minute on any question.
5. Do the questions which require formulas or tables

like epidemiology at the very end of the paper.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
6. Time management is key. Be calm and

composed, don’t get stressed during the exam
or while you are waiting to be seated.
7. Go to the washroom beforehand to save time

during the exam.
8. The Plabable questions are the closest thing to

the actual exam but still read the exact exam
question as there are bound to be new
questions which are not available in any
question bank.
9. After the exam is over don’t change any of the

answers that you marked because your first
instinct is mostly going to be 99% right!!
That’s all guys, remember stay focused, work hard, sleep

adequately before the exam day and go break a leg :)

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
(1) Focus on mistakes

After each mock exam, spend time to analyse why
you got a question wrong and try to prevent making
the same mistake again. Be extremely deliberate
about this. If you focus on this, you will see
incremental improvements. By the time you have
completed your last mock, you will be much more
comfortable with topics that used to be difficult.
(2) The final days

A few days before the exam, your focus should shift
from cramming to consolidation. Trying to add too
many new information to a saturated brain could
make you feel anxious and uncertain. You don’t want
to freak out in the exam. You should still be learning
a few new things, but you’ll benefit greatly doubling
down on the information you already know and
removing minor uncertainties. You’ll head into that
exam focus yet relaxed and that’s always a good
thing.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
(3) Before the exam

Be sure to develop a quick system of reviewing
topics that you want to review quickly before the
exam. For me, I used the hashtag #BeforeExam on
my notes on Google Docs. By searching the hashtag
I was able to get a quick refresher for topics like
paediatric milestones and epidemiology formulas.
(4) Last line first

Reading the last line of a sentence can save you a
lot of time. Some questions provide a very lengthy
stem only to ask a question that could be answered
without reading the stem. Don’t believe me? Try it on
your next exam. I certainly remember a few
situations like this on my November 2020 paper.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
(5) Know when and how to clinch
PLAB 1 is a manageable exam however the time

constraints can make it tricky. Get familiar with
clinchers, they are your best friends. Be careful not
to get carried away with certain questions.
Sometimes one word can make an entire difference.
I found this especially important for genetics

questions where the gender or the word affected,
carrier or healthy can make a world of difference.
Through practise, you’ll know exactly which question
to take an extra 10 seconds on just to make sure you
don’t trip yourself up. Absolutely worth it.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
One of the most common question asked by the

candidates appearing for PLAB is the number of
hours they need to study for the exam.
Please be aware that it is not the number of hours

but the quality of hours that you need to devote. I
personally follow timer method in which I set a timer
for 25-30 minutes with a 10 minutes break in
between. Keep yourself away from all the
distractions and please put your phone on silent
mode or switch it off while reading if you really want
to focus.
Do as many questions as possible but don’t learn

them but grasp the concept. Always remember, no
matter how much you study you’ll get some
questions wrong and it does not matter until you’re
scoring more than 70 percent which is slightly more
than the actual passing score required.

Exam Hints & Tips
Do not be distracted by the comments on social

media saying that someone followed a particular
question bank and did not pass until he or she
bought the new one in the market.
I did PLABABLE and I recommend it to anyone

who’s preparing for PLAB because it’s regularly
updated, has a user friendly interface, a large pool of
questions, and there are so many things to revise
from such as revision guides which I found very
helpful and the GEMS for the last minute revision.
There will always be new questions in the exam but

they don’t determine your pass or fail. What you
need to do is be thorough with the common topics
and related questions and just keep practicing them
regularly. Now, don’t start searching for “common
topics for plab” on google rather just follow
PLABABLE and you’ll be good to go!

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
If you can afford, do not miss the 4 day course or at

least the big mock as it familiarizes you with certain
new concepts and gives you the confidence to
handle new questions in the exam. Don’t think I’m
advertising PLABABLE but this is my personal
experience that I am sharing with you all.
Having a good study partner can make your

preparation fun and easy. You can discuss with each
other in your free time and be there to motivate each
other when one burns out.
During the exam, please don’t miss on the time

management. Read a question, answer it and move
on. Don’t get stuck on one question and if you really
want to come back to any question later then don’t
forget to mark it up else you’ll waste time looking for
it. Wish you Good luck! You require both optimum
knowledge and time management to pass the exam.
Stick to one question bank, do it thoroughly and just
relax.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
1. Attempt mocks on Day 0 and work up from your

baseline score
2. Bookmark only those questions that you may
have to revise 1 day prior to the exam
3. Actively remove questions from the said list once
the concept is clear and imprinted
4. Irrespective of how straight forward or easy a
question may seem, give it a focused read before
jumping to the answer
5. Utilise the offline capability of the app to its fullest
potential, leaving yourself no reason to not revise
while on the move
6. Do not wait to complete the entire QB to start with
the mocks. Attempt mocks at a regular intervals,
depending on your timeline and more often
towards the big day

Exam Hints & Tips
7. Keep the penultimate day to breathe, relax and to

not indulge beyond a few bookmarked highlights,
factual topics and GEMS
8. Consistency with spaced revision is the key
Having cleared the exam with a hectic full-time job

and in the first attempt, one thing I can assure you
is that PLAB 1 is an exam that is as easy as you let
it be, given your preparation is systematic. At the
time of booking, I’d roughly 3 months left for the
exam, and realistically 5 hours a day to prepare,
keeping aside work and routine household chores.
I’m in the habit of breaking down and bullet listing
any upcoming goals and this time the first one was
to give a random mock off PLABABLE, even before
touching the QB. With just my basic clinical
knowledge and a few guesswork, I could manage a
meagre 50-60%. Knowing where I stood, I made a
timeline for the next 1 month which involved
brushing through the entire QB alongside the
revision guides and making my own notes.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
I made it a point to bookmark only those questions

I’ll revise 1 day before the exam which helped
against an unnecessary load of them. One round
overshot my timeline, as always, and took me 45
days. I spent the next one and half months revising
the Revision Guides with bookmarked questions,
solving the newly added questions, attempting a few
more mocks and tweaking my notes likewise. I also
actively tried to remove a question from my
bookmarked list, if that concept was clear from
spaced repetition, thus reducing my burden over the
last days. I then took a break from work to
religiously attend the then 3-day revision course by
Sze and Adam, which helped consolidate my
preparation and correct a few misconceptions. The
pandemic was raging at its peak around this time,
and my exam was cancelled owing to government
restrictions.
I was momentarily downhearted but fortunate
enough to book a new date that was available 2
months away.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
The wonderfully curated GEMS dropped in the

meantime. Systematic revision with mocks
continued. The mocks which used to consume
02:45 hours (for 180 questions) improved to 02:00
hours by the 10th mock, with 85-95% in each. Then
came the Big Mock which was a huge reality check
and took me a whole 02:50 hours to complete.
I didn’t keep much for the penultimate day, other

than a few highlights off my notes, few bookmarked
questions and GEMS. The main exam had me
spending 40 - 60 seconds per question and yet left
me with 3 minutes to spare at last.
This brings me to my last piece of advice. Even if

you’re thorough with a particular question, give it a
focused quick read before jumping to the answer.
Time taken to revise or erase is time lost for another
question. To summarise, 5 months with PLABABLE
helped me breeze past the cut-off score. If someone
like me can do it, you’ve no reason not to.

Consistency with spaced revision is the key.
PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Trust me, PLAB is an easy exam if you know the art

of Clinchers and Time Management.
1. Many questions will be extremely similar to each

other but your clincher will help you to differentiate
between the two. So having your own clinchers for
every topic is a must.
2. A lot of questions are repeated from previous

exams.. recalls is also a MUST.
3. Time management is the art you need to be

having for the plab exam.. not all questions will need
a minute exact.. the new questions will definitely
need more.. and hence you need to be familiar with
the recalls and your clinchers to be able to answer
the familiar ones in 30 seconds to balance it out.

Exam Hints & Tips
4. “Skim and scan” the question to save more time

per question. But please do read the last line as they
love twisting the entire question at the last :P
Keep a preparation time for 3 months. That should

be more than enough. You can read on a particular
topic and attend mcqs for the same in PLABABLE.
Make sure u READ their NOTES below every
question because that’s IMPORTANT and if you
want to review a question later you can flag it as
well.
On the whole .. do not Overthink for a question and

waste time.. if you dont know one.. skip it and come
back to it at last to not miss you the ones you might
know later on! :D

So I started my preparation with just two months left

for my exam. I studied for an average of six to seven
hours/day but i would highly recommend you to
begin at least three months before the exam to be on
the safer side, but it is still doable in two months.
Study each and every question of Plabable along

with the explanation thoroughly. You can flag/mark
the question you get confused and keep reviewing
those. I would highly recommend to make notes
when you study so that It would be easy to revise
and look for the clinchers on the day of your exam.
Join Facebook and Whatsapp groups to discuss

debatable and controversial questions. Solve as
many mocks as possible as it helps with your time
management and lateral thinking.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
On the day of exam, stay calm and relaxed.

Time management is key. You should at least solve
60 questions within the first 60 minutes.
The questions sometimes might be very long and

vague with a lot of unnecessary information.The trick
is to quickly find the relevant information in the
question and answer.
Do not waste time overthinking complicated

questions. Always go with your gut instinct.Make
sure you have at least 10-15 minutes at the end to
review the questions u had any doubt on.
Overall,Plab-1 exam is quite easy and doable but do
not underestimate it.
Best of luck to all future Plabbers:)

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Keep an eye on the timer. Most of your practice

would have happened on a computer where you can
select the option and move to the next question. But
in the exam, you will have to enter your option
choice into an OMR sheet (the sheet with answer
options where you darken the right option) and this
takes time.
Keep around 15-20 mins at the end to enter your

choice into these sheets (yes, it will take that long) or
if you have the habit of marking them as soon as you
have solved a question, ensure you take no more
than 10 seconds to do so.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
1. Having attempted the latest PLAB 1 exam ,the

advice I wish I received earlier was to know that
there could be one topic focussed with many
questions in the exam. The key is to however not
get trapped in the obvious maze created but to
trust your instinct and knowledge even if there
might be repetitive answers to those questions.
2. Also for the purpose of easing this complexity,

one should have their personal clinchers and
hints to approaching any diagnosis and this could
only be possible if u have the conceptual
knowledge of the topic and not merely a
superficial one.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
3. Also for all the candidates who are attempting for

upcoming plab exams and specially for those
who had their previous exam cancelled, use all
your time as an opportunity to further your
practice because trust me only with continuous
revision would one be able to attempt the
questions within a min or 50 seconds because
not every question is straightforward in the exam
and some sneaky twisted questions do require
that extra attention exceeding time limit per
question but you can surely compensate it with
doing the easier and direct ones rather quickly.
4. Also mark the questions that you think would

require a quick review again on your OMR so that
you do not have to go through the ones you are
100 percent sure about.

My tip is that it is better not to ask. When I took the

Plab 1 exam, prior to entering the exam room, I
asked if I could take my snickers bar in.
The invigilator said, "you are only allowed to take

fruit and drinks in, nothing else".
Afterwards when I was in the exam room, I looked

around a saw a number of people had various types
of chocolates. I regretted asking for permission...

Exam Hints & Tips
Remember how important the Recalls are. You

would start getting a hang of it once you start
solving them and thank me later.
In every examination, there will be 20-25 new

questions and 10-15 tricky ones. Taking the higher
value into consideration, approx. 40 questions will
be tough in the exam. Trust me half of these
questions are DOABLE with right approach and
recalling the theory part.
Make sure to read the last line of the Q again before

marking your answer in the answer sheet.
Always keep an open mind when reading a question

and keep sorting out ddx in your mind as you move
along the question stem.
Contributed by: Shawn Gaurav

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
Whenever you encounter a question that you are

not sure or you don’t know make sure to use the
exclusion method to mark an answer. Please
don’t mark an answer blindly. Out of 5 options 1
option will be completely absurd and not related to
the question. Now you are left with 4 options, if you
can exclude 2 options with your knowledge and
exclusion process you are finally left 2 options. Your
chances of marking a correct answer increased
from 20% to 50%. There are very high chances that
you would mark a correct answer by this process
rather than taking a wild guess.
Sometimes the first 2 lines of the question is exactly
same as you would have solved before but make
sure to read the rest of the questions really well
looking for any "plot twist" by the GMC before
reaching a conclusion.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
1. Start preparation at least 3 months earlier. The

amount of preparation depends upon the basic
knowledge one has. So, one might require even
more time to prepare for PLAB 1.
2. Test your knowledge with one mock test before

solving Plabable question bank. It will give a basic
idea of how much you should progress before the
exam.
3. Aim for 3 to 6 hrs of study each day for those 3

months. Again it depends upon the basic knowledge.
I did USMLE before PLAB and hence I had to study
only 15 days before the exam.
4. Make a timetable so that you don’t waste too

much time on just one subject.

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
5. Handmade notes containing high yield points to

be revised couple of days before the exam. Make
personalised notes to improve memory retaining. Try
to revise it at least a couple of times before the
exam.
6. Solve all PLABABLE questions 15 to 20 days

before the exam and then focus primarily on mocks
and aim to score 95% on each mocks. At least 60%
or above topics in PLAB 1 exam will be from
concepts tested in PLABABLE.
7. If possible practise with OMR sheets. In exam

there will be three different pieces of paper. One
question booklet, one image booklet and one OMR
sheet for marking the answer. Marking in OMR takes
more time than solving it online.
8. Use revision guides and GEMS side by side while

preparing to improve the basic concepts.
Contributed by: Vijayachandar

PLABABLE
Exam Hints & Tips
1. Concentrate on UK guidelines rather than

medical books as medicine is always changing
and books do not update as quickly.
2. Join a study group on Whatsapp or Telegram to

keep motivated.
3. Write notes as you go along to help you

remember what you find the hardest items to
remember are and look at those notes everyday.
4. Think of easy ways to remember difficult topics.

The use of mnemonics or stories helps incredibly.
5. Work hard! The exam like in all exams has a luck

element in it but remember, the harder you work,
the luckier you get.
