How to prepare for UKMLA PLAB 1?
When preparing for UKMLA PLAB 1, there are two main chosen approaches – question-bank based and ‘formal revision’ based.
Relying on one alone leave can leave you a little short. No question bank can cover every aspect of the UKMLA PLAB 1, whilst purely reading books and guidelines means you won’t gain any experience of dealing with questions you may face in the exam.
If planned well, both should be used hand-in-hand as both have advantages in terms of improving retention and performance.
A few key references to familiarise with and keep referring to throughout preparation: PLAB GMC Blueprint (all of our teaching is based on this), NICE guidelines, BNF and BNF for children, Oxford Handbook of clinical medicine, GMC Good Medical Practice booklet.
The GMC PLAB Blueprint should be used as a guide to your preparation. This outlines which areas will be tested in the UKMLA PLAB 1 – not going through this will lead to surprises on the day. It covers quite a lot but if you plan things well it will ensure you cover everything.
Make a timeline. Planning is vital given the huge amount of material to cover for UKMLA PLAB 1. Work out how long you have between now and your exam, and break down your revision accordingly. Which topics to have covered by when, how many questions to complete per week? etc. Lack of this may lead to haphazard preparation and an overwhelmed feeling. Our UKMLA PLAB 1 revision planners are designed to help you plan out your revision and can be found here: https://wp.aroramedicaleducation.co.uk/free-downloads/
The most comprehensive package for UKMLA PLAB 1 is our UKMLA PLAB 1 Ultimate Package. This is a package which focuses on the two core components needed for UKMLA PLAB 1 success – knowledge and technique. The package has 6 months access to all material and contains a 2-day crammer live course, online course, audiobook course, question bank, multiple mock exams, and clinical flashcards.

What is the pass mark for UKMLA PLAB 1?
The UKMLA PLAB 1 pass mark varies every year. It is determined using the Anghoff Method, with one standard error of measurement. This ensures that the pass mark stays consistent and it is a fair exam. To pass UKMLA PLAB 1 exams, candidates must sit within or above the average rate and, though this varies slightly every year, this is generally between 60 and 60% – which equates to 120 to 126 marks.
How long do I get access to material for?
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.
What is the ideal time to buy the package?
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.
My exam is in 6 weeks - is there enough time to use 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!
How do I select my Live Course date?
