How to use the PLAB 1 Mock Bundle
This bundle has six full PLAB 1 mock exams. Each has 180 single best answer questions and a three-hour time limit, like the real exam. Every question is original, written from current UK guidance, and separate from the PLAB 1 Pro question bank.
The six mocks
| Mock | Lead theme |
|---|---|
| Mock 1 | Acute and Emergency Care |
| Mock 2 | Heart, Lungs and Kidneys |
| Mock 3 | Gut, Hormones, Blood and Infection |
| Mock 4 | Women's and Children's Health |
| Mock 5 | Mind, Brain and Senses |
| Mock 6 | Surgery, Bones and Skin |
Each mock covers the whole PLAB 1 curriculum. The lead theme has extra weight, so a lower score in one mock points you to the area to revise.
Sitting a mock
- Set aside three hours without interruptions. The timer keeps running once you start, and the attempt is submitted when time runs out.
- There is one question per page. You can move back and forth and flag questions to return to.
- Your answers are saved as you go.
- You have up to three attempts at each mock. The order of questions and options changes between attempts.
After you submit
- You see your score and a practice pass mark of 70%. The real exam's pass mark is set by the GMC for each sitting.
- Every question has a full explanation: why the answer is right, why each other option is wrong, take-home points and the UK guidance it comes from.
- Review your wrong answers first, then the ones you guessed.
Suggested plan
- Sit Mock 1 early to find your baseline.
- Revise your weakest areas, then sit one mock a week.
- Keep the last mock for the final week before your exam.
