The UKMLA PLAB 2 exam can be tough, mainly because it doesn’t follow the usual, written examination format most people are used to.
Instead, candidates are required to work through 16 ‘stations’, which each has a different clinical scenario they must respond to. There are 2 rest stations during the exam.
The biggest pitfalls with UKMLA PLAB 2 come down to timing and communication issues. Timing is an important factor, as candidates are given a limit (eight minutes) to respond to each scenario. To be successful, you must cover everything you need and ensure you’ve ticked all the right boxes, while still be succinct and methodical.
Good communication is also fundamental in the UK UKMLA PLAB 2 examination. This is an interactive exam, so showing you can communicate your clinical knowledge and effectively support patients in this setting is fundamental.
Overall, proper preparation, including getting used to the timings, practicing how you will respond to a range of practice scenarios, and becoming well-versed in patient-friendly language will help you to pass UKMLA PLAB 2 the first time around. Our <a href="https://aroramedicaleducation.co.uk/course/plab-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UKMLA PLAB 2 Academy SMART Package</a> and our <a href="/course/plab-2/">UKMLA PLAB 2 Gold Package</a> focus heavily on these areas.

Is UKMLA PLAB 2 difficult?													

General advice is that preparing for the UKMLA PLAB 2 exam takes around six weeks. Candidates should get used to the format of the exam, and used to reacting to different clinical scenarios.
Having said this I have seen doctors prepare for UKMLA PLAB 2 in 3 weeks and pass, as well as those who prepare for a year and fail. Having a good understanding of what the exam is actually assessing, and not following a scripted approach is more important than the time taken.
Whichever stage of preparation you are at &#8211; we have a UKMLA PLAB 2 package that will suit. Our most comprehensive package is <a href="https://aroramedicaleducation.co.uk/course/plab-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UKMLA PLAB 2 Academy SMART package</a>.

How long does it take to prepare for UKMLA PLAB 2?

<div class="sow-accordion-panel-border">
UKMLA PLAB 2 preparation is very different from UKMLA PLAB 1 preparation. With UKMLA PLAB 1 you can prepare on your own – you can look through questions, you can simply learn the material. UKMLA PLAB 2 is about regular practice and there are a few different ways that doctors can prepare.
1) Form a study group
Find people that are doing the exam and practice various scenarios by looking at the UKMLA PLAB 2 blueprint and using practice material.
2) Consider joining an Academy
By far the most common approach is to join an academy to pass UKMLA PLAB 2. There are several academies available, both in the UK and internationally – each with their own pros and cons.
The Arora <a href="https://aroramedicaleducation.co.uk/course/plab-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UKMLA PLAB 2 Academy SMART package</a> is designed to cover all gaps – knowledge, technique and time management. It contains a combination of live, digital and mock teaching to give you the most comprehensive preparation programme.
3) Online and Audio training
These can be very useful to get started and to prepare when on your own. There are numerous online and digital learning tools for UKMLA PLAB 2 – we have our own audiobook and online courses (all come as part of our <a href="/course/plab-2/">Academy SMART Package</a> and <a href="/course/plab-2/">Gold Package</a>) but of course others also exist. They can be useful to understand key concepts and listen to or watch examples.
4) Mock Exams
Useful if you want to feel the ‘pressure’ of the exam before the exam date. These can help to feel what it’s like to go through back-to-back intense roleplays – not something you may have done too often in the past. They are also useful to figure out what you need to focus on in the last few weeks. We run our own mock exam sessions with some of our teachers being previous GMC PLAB examiners. Booking a mock can help you get feedback and useful tips on how to score more points or use your 8 minutes more effectively. 2x Mocks are included in <a href="/course/plab-2/">UKMLA PLAB 2 Academy SMART</a>. You can also book individual mocks <a href="/course/plab-2/">here</a>.

How do I start preparing for UKMLA PLAB 2?

<div class="sow-accordion-panel-border">
UKMLA PLAB 2 is an examination which tests a candidate’s ability to recognise and respond to different clinical situations.
Currently, UKMLA PLAB 2 is marked by assessing three key areas. These are:
1) Data gathering, technical and assessment skills. 
2) Clinical management skills. 
3) Interpersonal skills.
For each case on the day, a pass mark is calculated which is added up for all the scenarios. This coupled with one standard error of measurement forms the pass mark for the day – therefore the pass mark varies on each exam day, and from one assessment centre to the other.
To pass UKMLA PLAB 2 you must achieve the pass mark for that day as well as pass at least 10 individual stations.
Domain 1: Data gathering, technical and assessment skills
This area assesses areas such as history taking, examination skills, your practical procedures and any investigations that you might think about – in essence how you gather data in order to try and work out what a potential diagnosis might be, or which issues arise in a certain situation.
Data gathering can include general history requirements – for example drug history, past medical history and red flags, as well as other areas that link with a presentation such as psychosocial history and ICE (ideas, concerns and expectations).
Examination may be tested on real-life actors, using anatomical models or as part of an electronic simulated mannequin. Areas tested include common everyday examinations (for example cardiovascular, respiratory, abdomen, various joints) and model examinations (such as breast examination, eye examination, rectal examination).
Practical procedures that may be tested are things that you might come across in a typical ward in the UK – measuring blood pressure, taking blood, urinary catheterisation, inserting cannulas, suturing, calculating common drug doses etc.
The PLAB blueprint has a more complete list of examinations and procedures which is worth reading through.
Domain 2: Clinical management
This area assesses how you manage the situation, both clinically and non clinically. For example if you’ve come up with the correct diagnosis, how do you now explain that to the patient? How do you involve the patient in a correct, safe, appropriate management plan?
Are you using UK current best practice when handling the situation? In essence, now that you’ve gathered the data in the first half, how are you now managing it, and is it appropriate for working as a UK junior doctor?
Domain 3: Interpersonal skills
This area assesses your ability to effectively tie together data gathering and clinical management in a patient-centred way.
For example, are you involving the patient regularly? What is the rapport like between you and the patient? Are you effectively using open and closed questions?
Are you thinking about ethics? It may include your ability to handle challenging situations such as breaking bad news, capacity and consent.
It can assess how you manage that situation from a patient’s point of view or perhaps a relative’s point of view, and if you handle the situation in a professional manner or not.
Our <a href="/course/plab-2/">UKMLA PLAB 2 Academy SMART</a> and <a href="/course/plab-2/">Gold Package</a> focus on all of these areas in detail.

How is the UKMLA PLAB 2 exam marked?

<div class="sow-accordion-panel-border">
UKMLA PLAB 2 runs throughout the year. You can book a UKMLA PLAB 2 exam date only after passing UKMLA PLAB 1.
Bookings can be made in the ‘My Tests’ section of your GMC online account. Demand for UKMLA PLAB 2 dates is high and so waiting for available dates is possible.
However if you have a UK NHS Job offer or hold UK refugee status contact the GMC team as they may be able to help you secure a UKMLA PLAB 2 place.
</div>

What are the UKMLA PLAB 2 exam dates?

<div class="sow-accordion-panel-border">
On the day when you arrive at the GMC building, reception will direct you to the assessment centre. Your ID will be checked and a locker will be provided to keep all your personal belongings. You will be provided with a badge that you must wear so that the examiner can easily identify you.
For each of the 16 scenarios you will be given 90 seconds to understand the scenario before commencing your 8 minutes for each task. At 6 minutes you will be given a 2 minute warning. There are 2 rest stations included and during this time you can have a glass of water or just rest. It is a circuit system and at the end of the exam you will be escorted out of the exam.

UKMLA PLAB 2: What to expect on the day

UKMLA PLAB 2 costs £906 per sitting from April 2022, there is a discounted price for the first 2 sittings if you are a UK refugee doctor.

How much does UKMLA PLAB 2 cost?

You can book UKMLA PLAB 2 only after passing UKMLA PLAB 1. If you have passed UKMLA PLAB 1 within the past 3 years you will be able to book your UKMLA PLAB 2 exam in the ‘My Tests’ section on GMC online.
The final closing date to book onto a test for UKMLA PLAB 2 is either the day the test becomes fully booked or (if it has not become fully booked prior to this date) four weeks before test day.

How do I book UKMLA PLAB 2?

Some UKMLA PLAB 2 candidates ask about what to wear to their exam, since it is interactive and involves moving around different stations.
You should expect to dress smartly as you would do if you were a doctor working in a UK hospital setting or other clinical setting.
Generally, guidance is to dress in smart but comfortable shoes and clothing, and avoid anything that will obstruct you such as heavy jewellery, high-heeled shoes or large bags.
It is best to opt for bare arms below the elbows with no watches, bracelets etc. For men, a collared short sleeved shirt with no tie or a full sleeve shirt rolled up past the elbows with no tie, with trousers and smart shoes. No jeans, leggings or casual wear will be allowed. For females similarly, no casual wear is allowed- you may wear smart dresses, trousers, skirts etc.

How should I dress for a UKMLA PLAB 2 exam?

The UKMLA PLAB 2 test runs in the UK about 30 times every year, approximately every three-four weeks.

How many times is UKMLA PLAB 2 conducted?

Package access is 6 months from the time of booking the Academy. This includes online video course, 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 attend the academy, the more value you will get.

What is the ideal time to book the Academy SMART package?					

Although you have access to material for 6 months, the majority of doctors who purchase our teaching programmes are between 1 and 6 months from their exam date. All material (apart from the 10 days live teaching) 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 and technique changes into a short period of time – which will definitely help in the exam itself.

My UKMLA PLAB 2 exam is in 4 weeks - is there enough time to use the material?													

Whilst some doctors do choose to have other materials as part of preparation, we have designed this programme to include all that you need – from a knowledge, technique and time management point of view.
Our package is focused on targeting higher marks, making better use of 8 minutes and tackling the more challenging cases.

Do we need other materials apart from this package?													

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

What if clinical guidelines change?													

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 all of the package material until you do pass.
We also offer a meeting to all who fail the exam &#8211; focusing on how to prepare for next time, as well as answering any questions that you may have (please remember for probity reasons we can&#8217;t discuss your specific exam cases).

What if I fail UKMLA PLAB 2?													

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 (certain countries only)

Can I pay in instalments?													

We hold the live teaching programme (final three days) at the Arora teaching centre:
Arora Medical Education 
Regus Building 
Blythe Valley Business Park 
Central Boulevard 
Solihull 
B90 8AG 
UK

Where is the live training held?													

We have an accommodation package in a nearby hotel if required:
– Single room (double bed) at our partner hotel with en-suite bathroom (W: <a href="https://www.regencyhotelsolihull.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.regencyhotelsolihull.co.uk/</a>, T: 0121 745 6119, E: info@regencyhotelsolihull.co.uk)

– 5-7 minutes in taxi from academy

Do you offer accommodation?													

Yes you can. Whilst we recommend to attend in person for the best learning experience and practice, we also livestream the course for those who wish to attend live virtually. You would receive the same material as face-to-face candidates and will be able to ask questions through Zoom.
On screen you will be able to see the day’s slides as well as video coverage of the day’s teaching, demonstrations and role-plays. We also include breakout rooms where you get to do the same live cases as the in-person group.
You would not be able to attend the built-in practice sessions of the academy but you can attend in person at a later date for hands-on practice when in the UK.
You can also split the academy between face-to-face and online – for example you could attend a certain number of days face-to-face and attend the rest online – it is completely up to you.

Can I attend the teaching programme online through livestream?													

Yes you can. You would only need to pay the upgrade amount.
For example if you have the Gold Package, you would pay the difference between the Gold Package amount and the Academy SMART Package.
Just <a href="/contact-us/">contact us</a> (email or WhatsApp) to find out how much it would be for you to upgrade.

I already have some UKMLA PLAB 2 material from Arora. Can I upgrade to Academy SMART?													

Yes you can. Once you have booked your main batch &#8211; just email the team mentioning which batch you would also like to join online beforehand &#8211; we will take care of the rest 🙂

I have booked my Face-to-Face Academy SMART batch. Can I also attend earlier batches online?
