Beware!
Some
courses claim that 90% of candidates attend their course and they have
highest pass rate.
If
90% of PLAB candidates attend one course, pass rate of that course will be
close to that of GMC.
Many
PLAB 2 books and other course materials and manuals has serious mistakes and
can potentially be the cause of fail in the exam. We have listed some common
mistakes found in other books and manuals
1. Patronizing style of communication
2. "Talk to" than Talk with style of
communication
3. Not in line with NICE guidelines
4. Many topics especially of medical ethics do
not meet good medical practice guidelines of GMC
5. Lack of clarity

What should I read
before taking the course?
We do not expect you to read anything or
do any preparation before attending the course. We will cover all topics
of PLAB from scratch. If you wish you can read the materials in our
online resource library, any clinical examination books, OHCM and OHCS.
We strongly recommend that you read the emergency chapter of OHCM
(Oxford handbook of clinical medicine.) We would advise not to read any
PLAB 2 books or manuals available. Most of them contain mistakes and
also may give you wrong guidance.
When should I take the
course?
PLAB 2 exam is becoming more and more
difficult. Give your self plenty of time. PLAB Right offers an
opportunity for you to repeat the one week course for FREE.
We recommend that you take the course as
soon as you can. Earlier the better. If you have more than 3 months for
the exam, we would recommend you take one week course as soon as
possible. You can then practice and read as per the guidance given in
the course and attend 10 days course 6 weeks before the exam. Remember
the total cost of the course will still be £340
If you have less than 3 months take the 10
days course as soon as you can and then repeat the one week course near
to the exam.
You would need at least 3 weeks to
practice 300 stations. We recommend that you take the course at least 4
week before the exam and this would give enough time to practice.
If you have special needs, or have any
problems and would like to get an advise about your training needs,
please do not hesitate to contact us You can speak to the course
organiser everyday of the week between 5.00 - 7.00 pm by calling 0871
