CRACK PLAB1

PLAB 1

NB : Here I have explained how I prepared for PLAB 1 test, there are many who cleared this exam            even with a little or no preparation at all.

Before we begin, some general Ideas About the test : 

• 180 MCQs to be done in 3 hours
• Mostly clinical oriented
• Pass / Fail Test ( score doesn't matter)
• Happens 2 times overseas, frequently in UK
• Its The door to PLAB2
• Materials are available in social media

Materials :  1. PLABABLE.COM (3 month subscription , costs approx. 30 pounds)

                   2. PLABZILLA ( Chapter wise Questionnaire)

                   3. Dr Khalid's 1700 Questions

                   4. Mocks 

Ideally 3 months would be sufficient enough to crack the test.Out of 3, last 1 month with a little hard work. 

Prime book for plab1 is PLABABLE.COM QUESTIONNAIRE

Here is how I did along with work -

                    

   

DAY 1 to DAY 30 (30 DAYS)

Decide the number of question that you could solve from plabable within first 20days ( there by finish it within 20 days)

                              

Total No. o0f Q's in whole Plabable   =   X Questions

                30   

Along with this.....!

 Just do Dr Khalids 1700 questions (100 Qns/ day, not more than 1 hour a day) - many answers are controversial , but Just Tick and go as a revision of PLABABLE,just note down or circle doubtful Qs and move on, there you could finish Book No. 3 within 17 days. 

By now that you have almost completed BOOK No.1 & 3 (still confusions and uncertainty would persist- that's usual and completely okay)

                                        ( 1 MONTH COMPLETED)

DAY 31 to DAY 50 ( 20 DAYS)  

BOOK NO.2 PLABZILLA  ( similar to 1700 Qns but arranged according to Systems.)

                Total No. of Systems =  X No. of systems per day

                          20 days

Since we have done with plabable, It would like a revision , so just run through the booklet and grasp those keys words etc... 

Along with this.....!

Just re-read those marked or encircled questions from Dr Khalids 1700 ( Already done during Day 1 to 17) you could spent 1-2 hours in finding explanations from your friends/ facebook groups.

                                       ( 1 MONTH + 20 DAYS COMPLETED)

DAY 51 to DAY 70 ( 20 DAYS)

 Just Revise PLABABLE.COM questionnaire, this time it would be easier and faster to move forward from system to system there by we could strengthen the principles and clear confusions.

                                      ( 2 MONTH + 10 DAYS COMPLETED)

DAY 71 to DAY 80 ( 10 DAYS)

  Do 2 mocks per day  (  morning and evening)  * 10 days = 20 mocks

Try to keep a timer , 180 Qns within 2 hours, there by learning time management.

discuss difficult qns with colleagues.

DAY 81 to DAY 90 ( 10 DAYS)

Revise PLABABLE once more, Just relax and run through.

Take a day off just before the test, Its easily doable with enough effort, It could be done along with the work.

Good Luck......!!
