THE PLAB STRATEGIES PATHWAY TO EXCEL IN PLAB 2

• Set time aside to prepare for the Plab 2 examination. This time should be fully dedicated to hard work, daily practice and constant review of CKS and NHS guidelines.

• DO NOT RELY ON PAST RECALLS. This is not safe practice for a medical doctor. Reinforce your knowledge through evidence based practice, medical literature and research. You are preparing to deal with real patients, safety is your first priority.

• KEY PRINCIPLE: When you are with any patient, listen to them attentively. Be compassionate. Take an organized history, explain their disease in a language they can understand, offer safe management within the boundaries of a foundation year doctor 

• Recommended preparation time is 6-7 weeks. Do not extend the process as retention of material starts to wane after a while, especially if your are interrupting your study.

• Once you start your preparation DO NOT STOP. Reinforce your medical knowledge for 2-3 weeks, then practice your medical skills, examinations and procedures for another 4 weeks. 

• Allow adequate time to practice with timers; and most importantly time for rest and recuperation before the exam. 

• 4TH/FINAL ATTEMPT PLAB 2 CANDIDATES:  Do not be disheartened; go back to the drawing board and find our where your made mistakes. Arrange a score card review. To further support you, we will offer 2 WEEKS FREE mannequin practice in our center in Manchester to prepare you for the exam.
