Study Material for PLAB 1
Wot is master board??
M new to this group plz elaborate
Master the Boards USMLE Step 2 CK is a book that is used for the preparation of USMLE Step 2 CK. It has nothing to do with PLAB. I made the mistake of studying from it for PLAB.
Hellow sir,
Im in my final year mbbs, im worried about pharmacology and anatomy as they are the most volatile subjects .So what do you recommend?
Are you studying pharmacology and anatomy for your MBBS or for your PLAB? Because you don’t need to study them for PLAB.
Im preparing for plab part 1.or should i just stick to the materials you have provided in your blog would that be enough?
Stick to the materials that I have mentioned. Do not make the mistake of studying theory for PLAB. Just solve questions for PLAB and solve them AFTER you have graduated. Do not study for PLAB before graduation. Only pass your IELTS before graduation.
Kindly follow this post:

If i pass PLAB immediately after graduation, can I apply for registration or i need some post med uni program eg residency, internship etc ?
It is best to apply for GMC registration after completing your internship. This article will try to explain why:

We don’t need to study ohcm for plab prep.?
No, you don’t. Please don’t make this mistake. Go to OHCM only if you get stuck anywhere, for reference. This link might help:
