 Course should be done ideally about 6 to 7 weeks before the GMC exam date so that you will have atleast 3 to 4 weeks to practice after the course as there are nearly 300 stations to practice.

Mock tests should ideally be taken about two weeks near to the GMC exam.

Once you pay and book the mock tests, there are no cancellations and we do not refund the money. You can postpone the mock test (provided there are places available on the day when you want to do the mock test)  if you give us 2 days notice.

                                                 PLAB 2 Mock test details

                       We conduct two types of mock tests :-

  1) Full mock tests - Just like the GMC exam where we keep 14 stations of history taking, Clinical examination, Counselling and manikins, VIVA, telephone conversation and Drug prescription. (Please note we keep only one manikin in the full mock test as everyone takes the  manikin mock test)

 2) Manikin mock test - All the manikins will be kept in the manikin mock test and only the manikins will be kept.

 

 Mock tests are held at different timings for different batches. (eg- Full mock tests (3 batches) - 9.00am, 10.45am, 12.30pm, Manikin Mock test - 2.15pm ). You can book only on available days and batches.

  We strongly suggest everyone to take atleast 4 mock tests  (3 full mock tests and 1 manikin mock test) to enhance their chance of passing the exam in the first attempt.

 We advise you to take the mock tests near to your GMC exam date. Take your first mock test about 10 to 14 days before your GMC exam date and then keep atleast one or two days gap between each mock test and also keep atleast two days gap between your last mock test and your GMC exam. You can chose your own dates from the list below.

 You can take only one mock test per day as all the batches on a particular day will have the same questions.

Mock test takes about one and a half hour to two hours. There will be "Feedback" of the mock test in the evening after all the batches finishes the mock test. There will be two types of feedback. One type of feedback is "General feedback" and the other type is "Personal feedback". For the general feedback all the candidates who took the mock tests on that particular day (usually about 25 to 30 doctors take the mock test per day) will assemble in the evening and the mock test examiners will discuss all the mistakes done by all the candidates. Usually the general feedback takes about 3 hours, ( usually from 4.30pm till 7.30pm). In the general feedback you will learn all the mistakes done by other candidates too. After the general feedback you can meet your mock test examiner who will give your personal feedback if you need.

 

  Please call our office (tel number - 020 8478 6100) to find out the available date and time.
