The Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) test is required for international medical graduates (IMGs) who wish to practise medicine in the UK. The PLAB test assesses that doctors have the necessary knowledge and skills to practise safely at the level of a UK Foundation Year 2 doctor. For full guidance, please refer to the GMC website.

The PLAB test is closely aligned with the UK Medical Licensing Assessment (UKMLA), which all UK and international graduates must pass to practise in the UK. PLAB 1 corresponds to the Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) of the UKMLA and uses the same MLA Content Map as its blueprint.

PLAB 1 is a computer-based written exam consisting of 180 single best answer (SBA) questions, taken over 3 hours. It tests knowledge across clinical medicine, diagnostics, and professional practice—exactly what our mock papers are designed to help you revise.
