PLAB 1

PLAB 1 is an applied knowledge test required for doctors who graduated from medical schools outside the UK, EEA, or Switzerland to register with the General Medical Council (GMC) and practice in the UK. Before sitting PLAB 1, the GMC requires candidates to have passed either an OET or IELTS exam to demonstrate safe communication in English. The Pastest PLAB 1 course provides comprehensive preparation with over 3,500 exam-style questions, a complete structured learning textbook, past papers, podcasts, and AI-powered tutor support.

The course is designed to test your knowledge of best practice in the UK and UK hospital equipment through applied clinical scenarios, rather than rote factual recall. Pastest's resources are built with direct feedback from candidates on the themes covered in the exam. The course includes real-time analytics to track your progress and identify exam readiness, helping you understand which areas need further focus. With properly structured revision, most candidates prepare over 3–6 months depending on existing experience.

The course is available through multiple subscription tiers: a limited free trial (6 months with 100 questions and textbook access), monthly rolling at £7.99, 3-month prepaid at £19.99, and 6-month prepaid at £34.99. All paid tiers include unlimited access to the full question bank, 2 curated past papers, the learning textbook with interactive 3D imagery, and the PLAB 1 Exam Essentials Course.
