Frequently asked questions.
What is PLAB 2?
PLAB 2 (Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board, Part 2) is the practical clinical exam international medical graduates sit in the UK to gain GMC registration. It consists of 16 OSCE stations of 8 minutes each, covering history-taking, counselling, examination, ethics and clinical management. For the full picture see our complete PLAB 2 guide.
Who is Plabity PLAB 2 practice for?
Plabity is built for international medical graduates preparing for PLAB 2, and increasingly for UK graduates preparing for the UKMLA Clinical and Professional Skills Assessment. Whether it is your first sit or your third retake, the cubicle is the same.
How does a Plabity station actually work?
You pick a station and read the cubicle task card. The eight-minute clock starts, your microphone connects, and a simulated patient is waiting. You speak naturally; the patient responds in real time, answering only what you ask, hesitating where a real patient would, and revealing hidden facts only when you ask the right question.
Do I need any special equipment?
A laptop, desktop, tablet or phone with a working microphone and a quiet environment. Headphones are strongly recommended so the patient's voice does not bleed back into your mic. A modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) is required. No app to install.
How is feedback generated?
At the end of each station your transcript is graded against the PLAB rubric, item by item. You receive a band per domain (Data Gathering, Clinical Management, Interpersonal Skills) plus strengths, improvements and a coaching tip, each backed by quoted evidence from your own encounter. Feedback returns in seconds, not days.
Can I retake the same station?
Yes. Every station can be retaken as many times as you like. The patient responds differently each attempt, so you cannot memorise a script. Most candidates practise the same station three or four times before moving on, watching their band climb between attempts.
Is Plabity affiliated with the GMC?
No. Plabity is an independent education platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the General Medical Council. PLAB is a registered trademark of the General Medical Council.
How much does Plabity cost?
Plabity is free. Every station, no card required, no monthly plan.
