FAQ

Common questions

Is this suitable for first-time PLAB 2 candidates?

+
Yes — we have stations graded from Beginner to Advanced. Most candidates start with beginner stations to build confidence in structure, then progress to intermediate and advanced before the exam.

How is this different from revision books?

+
Books tell you what to say. PLABSmart makes you choose — and then tells you why your choice scores or loses marks in examiner language. Active practice beats passive reading every time.

How often are new stations added?

+
We add new stations monthly, always aligned with the latest GMC examiner guidance and community feedback from recent sitters. Pro and Annual subscribers get early access.

Can I use this on my phone?

+
Yes, PLABSmart is fully responsive and works on all devices. The Annual plan includes an offline mode so you can practice without internet on commutes or between shifts.

What is the 7-day money-back guarantee?

+
If you're not satisfied for any reason within 7 days of your first paid payment, email us and we'll refund you in full — no questions asked.

Which specialties do you cover?

+
We cover 9 core areas tested in PLAB 2: Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Psychiatry, Ethics & Communication, General Practice, Emergency Medicine, and Geriatrics — spanning all 100 stations.
