Package access is 6 months. This includes the online course, question bank, mocks, audiobooks and flash cards. If doctors need slightly longer than 6 months then we are happy to extend as well.

How long do I get access to material for?													

Very simply, as early as possible! There is a lot of material to get through, and there is also no limit to usage. Therefore the earlier that you get the package, the more value you will get.

What is the ideal time to buy the package?													

Although you have access to material for 6 months, the majority of doctors who purchase the package are between 1 and 3 months from their exam. All material is available to use flexibly as and long as you have a plan, you can get through it all in a few weeks if needed. You will certainly cram a lot of knowledge into a short period of time – which will definitely help on the exam day itself!

My exam is in 6 weeks - is there enough time to use the package?													

<div class="sow-accordion-panel-border">
When you add the package to the your, a selection of upcoming live course will appear. You can choose which one suite you best (we run a live course 3-4 weeks before each exam date).
If you are not sure when you are taking the UKMLA PLAB 1 exam, you can select &#8216;Attend Future Date&#8217; &#8211; we will add you to the &#8216;future attendee&#8217; list and will contact you before each course going forward.
</div>

How do I select my Live Course date? 													

<div class="sow-accordion-panel-border">
A week before the live course you will receive full details of how to join the course.
The course will be run on Zoom.
Regardless of whether you are able to attend the live course or not, you will have the ability to watch back for 1 month afterwards.
</div>

How do I attend the Live Teaching													

We regularly update our online courses, question bank, mock exams, audiobooks and flashcards. As soon as we update on our side, you get the updates on your side.

What if guidelines change?													

We’d recommend using one of our free daily planner programmes which maps to the content of the Ultimate Package: <a href="/free-planner/">Free Planner</a>

What is the best way to go through the material?													

Firstly, if you go through all of the material then it is very unlikely that you will fail! If you are unlucky not to pass however then we are happy to extend the package until when you pass.

What if I fail the exam?													

Yes. At checkout you can choose the PayPal option, there will be an option to ‘pay-in-3’ by using the &#8216;Pay Later&#8217; button (available for certain countries)

Can I pay in instalments?
