Most PLAB 2 Candidates Fail for Reasons They Don’t Realise

This live PLAB 2 masterclass focuses on examiner expectations and the common performance mistakes that quietly cost marks.

February PLAB 2 Masterclass

Many PLAB 2 candidates understand that the exam is skills-based — yet still struggle to improve their scores.

This free live session focuses on where and why marks are commonly lost within the PLAB 2 marking domains, and how candidates can better identify their own performance gaps.

Designed for doctors preparing for PLAB 2 who want clearer insight into examiner expectations and their own performance.

PLAB 2 examiners score observable performance. Clear communication of differential diagnosis and reassessment under pressure are key parts of safe, examiner-facing performance.

Observe in this clip how I share information with the patient, for the examiner, and also obtain new information from the patient. All at once.

Many capable doctors struggle with PLAB 2 not because of poor knowledge, but because they don’t understand how the exam is assessed.

I’m running a free live masterclass explaining what PLAB 2 examiners actually look for, and how candidates should prepare differently.
