This exam is not like any exam you have ever had before, no matter what your level or grade is. You are being assessed for your quality as competency and for your appropriateness to work as a doctor in the UK. You are assessed for the way you communicate with patients and their relatives and the way you sympathise with them. You are evaluated for your holistic approach of approaching the patient and working within a team. This is what you should learn through any course you subscribe with. If you want, you can write down some key points in the cases and conditions while watching the videos (You can do that electronically via typing, annotations, and other amazing features available in the course portal). Avoid making the big mistake of writing every single word you hear as this process is time and effort consuming, and it’s far from what is required from you to prepare effectively and efficiently for this exam. Practice is the KEY that will get you through this OSCE-based exam.

The course is only online. Attending academies depends on your preferences and personality. There were tens of doctors in PLAB 2 WARRIORS full and the practical courses who only relied on the course and they passed by the Grace of God without any additional courses or academies. They self-practised on pillows and dolls at home. Despite this being a simple measure, many of them scored very highly in those practical cases in their actual exam. However, if you are a type of person who feel comfortable when you perform hands-on practice on actual manikins, then attending an academy for a few days can provide you with some confidence in mastering your abilities. Regardless of your choice, the aim is to achieve regular repetition and rehearsal of the steps of any technique to be fluent in doing them when needed.
