Hi Doc, firstly thanks for the great video! You are an inspiration... Hoping to follow in your footsteps. One question, I have joined up to plabable for the 5 months...I am aiming to do 50 questions per day, how should I approach this? I mean they are are all organized in categories... do you start with one category and work your way through? Or do you do eg 10 from each and move on? Your advice would be appreciated... I know you are busy so I don't expect a reply, however, I believe in miracles.... :)
Thank you for the kind words and appreciation! That is a good question. I would suggest you to go category-wise because you have enough time. That is more systematic. However, when you are short of time, say 1-2 months, you should try to get practice from each category, no category should be left untouched. Good luck!
@@swetasingh4230 It's very straight forward...Just need a credit card. The only problem with the plabable Q bank is that you have to pay to reset the questions. but otherwise a great resource....
Thank you for the awesome video! very insightful! I like Plabverse because it's very organized and I prefer to study each chapter first then answer questions from Plabable. I have 2.5 months until my plab 1, I was wondering if Plabverse and Plabable are enough? and is 2.5 months enough time?
Blessings dr safia! Thank you for this video. Im a third year mbbs student in Pakistan.Can you please recommend something that I should do during my course time for plab preps.Thanks in anticipation
Please make a video on exact prerequisites to appear for plab...for example internship duration or the internship time for specific subjects..if any gaps is acceptable , age limit etc
hello doctor.. your video is very helpful. I will write my exam in september. I have gone through plab1 keys and plabable twice. should I need to go through the recalls? or what more should i need to do in next 1 month?. I will be waiting for your valuable advice. TIA
Thank you Doctor Safia for the info. I am a final year student, my question is that I am starting preparation for PLAB 1, should I go through short notes like Samson or Plabverse for quick revision of knowledge before attempting MCQs on Plabable or only Plabable is enough?
Hello Dr. Safia! I found your video quiet thorough and helpful. I began PLABable a week ago and I haven't been on a good pace frankly since I am working 8 to 2 in the morning. I have my OET in June but I wanted to start before hand since this COVID situation has left my exam dates uncertain. My question is regarding the resource and NICE guidelines at the end of explanations. How thorough do I have to be since I have been away from studies for a year and I need to refresh my knowledge a bit. For eg: Studying Gliomas, there are like bijillion categories and types, do I need to cram all that or just like the superficial concept and categories and the management? P.S, Apologies for the long comment!
Glad you found my video helpful. Since you haven't even given your OET yet, you're starting your preparation well in advance. So I would recommend you to go through the NICE guidelines since you have time until you book your plab. But you don't need to cram a lot. Just the overview and concepts are enough, and lots of MCQ practice.
Hello dr. That was really helpful and motivational. Im really looking forward to do plab and OET 1st ofcourse. For the plab preparation you already explained it really well but how and which source to study from for oet ? P.s i had the exact pattern/design of pillow and sheet before.😀 cheers
When is the right time to give plab 1 and how much quickly a person can clear plab 1. Kindly guide me on this. I shall be overwhelmed by your generosity if you answer this. Thanks
hi doctor I've read about that they're gonna replace Plab with UKMLA for international graduates i believe. So do you know anything about the new exam and if it's harder or easier or as same as Plab ? I'm a 4th year med student
Yes that’s right. So far there is no confirmed info about the exam pattern but just my guess, they are trying to make it like USMLE so probably going to become more difficult
Assalam alaikum dr . U r making very useful video .. mashaallah . Thank you so much for your guidance. I wanna ask that I'am a BUMS doctor so can i able to practice in dubai . If not so other thing should I work in dubai on HSC passed . So , should i prefer for walking interview or what?. Can i get job there on HSC passed base..
Dr firstly bundle of thanks for great video and information. 2ndly Dr I'm 3rd year medical student in China. I have just finished my basic medicine subjects. What books/resources would you recommend to me for my internal medicine subjects so they can be helpful for PLAb exam in future. Huge respect for you
@@mohsinsami4077 I know. I only recommend Plabable question bank for plab 1 prep. In addition to that you can read USMLE step 2 CK book to strengthen your concepts.
I have heard that there are a lot of docs who have fully completed there gmc registration but still staying without jobs . Is it true ....if can anyone tell the reason and a solution please .....
Thanks for the advice! I'm writing PLAB this March. Would you say the actual exam was tougher than Plabable in terms of difficulty or was it similar? Also, among the 180 questions, how many new/different concepts did you encounter in the actual exam vs the concepts covered in Plabable?
In my opinion, the exam was almost on a similar level to plabable questions but mostly people still find it to be tougher because there are no repeated questions and time management becomes difficult with new questions. The key concepts were the same.
@@DrSafia thanks for the reply and your tips in the video. I just got my results today and I passed! Appreciate your advice, definitely eased my anxiety going into the test. Thanks again and keep doing what you're doing 👍
Mam you made an awesome video from which I would get a lot of help..... But Mam I am now in 3rd year of my mbbs !! What should I prepare so that I could pass plab in 1st attempt
Hey I hope you could say something about my issue. My exam is in 40. Days and I am preparing from medrevision and did like 1300 questions from it in 12 days . And I'm left with 2400 questions. I have two options now stick with medrevision in the coming 40 days and do it twice or do plabable by abandoning medrevision. Pls suggestions ... Thanks
I have never tried medrevision so I can't say much about that but I know plabable is a great source for preparation. And you can cover it all in 30 days or even less if you do it with devotion. If you don't have much time to study then it is best to stick to what you're doing now.
@@DrSafia but you said sticking to one source and doing it well is the most important thing. I'm already invested in medrevision and I think I got to do it twice and if I have time I will do plabable I already bought it... about the time I have a full day and I do nothing but studying all day ....but you are amazing ur vedioes are helpful don't stop this.
Hi Dr. Safia, thanks for your tips. Btw, I would like to seek for your advise. How to build strong concept for PLAB1 if one feel concept is not strong enough? Thanks
I suggest you to thoroughly go through the plabable explanations and the reference links as well as NICE guidelines. Apart from that you could read USMLE Step 2 CK for strong concepts, if you have the time.

Hi dr safia, what kind of Internship is acceptable in UAE?pregraduation Internship or post-graduation internship?incase of pregraduation Internship,I mean the one included in MBBS .
It is mostly clinical based however, you do need to go through basic subjects like pharma (very important actually). Once you subscribe to Plabable question bank, you will see all the topics that need to be covered.
Good luck to you! I'm not a medical student, I graduated over 2 years ago. I'm working as a General physician. If you watch my other videos, you will find out 😊
ama first year mbbs student and i wanna prepare for plab from now till my house job done.....can u tell me how could i do that how'd i manage....from karachi
Yes. I think you can give the exam even before the internship (not recommended as clinical skills are necessary to crack it) however an acceptable internship is a requirement for GMC registration (including your degree verified by ECFMG)
Each question carries 1 mark and there is no negative marking. Pass mark varies according to each exam but usually in the range of 117-125 marks out of 180.
Assalamualaikum mam. I have a question. If we are 3rd year or 4th year MBBS students then can we do any preparation for PLAB exam. Or else we should take preparation after completing MBBS.

Hi, I have heard in one youtube video that in palbable you can do each question only once. If you want to repeat the questions again then you have to pay for that again. Is it true?
That is false information. You can repeat the questions anytime you want. But the section you have done once will have the answers marked. However, when u do the mocks mode, all the questions are shuffled and repeated.
