Conclusion:
I had 5 weeks after my course. So I had more than enough time to study in a relaxed manner.
meaning when you had to study for yourself and you have mentioned study/practice, what was your schedule like??
I used to wake up at 8 or 9, go to Barking library as early as I could. Study there until it closed. After that study at McDonald’s until midnight.
So is there a source we can use to prepare for plab 2 wetger or not the candidate will attend a course?
You can try to find notes for PLAB 2. There are examples of people who managed to pass PLAB 2 without attending a course. But it is very difficult and not advisable at all. This is one such example:

hi, which course is better for plab 2? samson or swamy?
This depends on personal experiences. I would advise you to check Facebook reviews and to talk to people from different courses about their personal experiences and then make your decision. Best of luck! 🙂
Brother, I just attended dr.hameds course and starting preperation. There is good amount of course with handouts etc. A few people advised to make mind maps/mini summaries, can you advise about it, what was your method of going through the course and how did you manage it in 7 days?
Did you complete all 105 cases? please give advise
