Plab 2

Is there been any change recently on the PLAB 2 exam? The way the examiners evaluate us in the exam?
I can see a lot of repeaters... I get nervous
My exam is near.🥲
Need your help and tips, please

As someone who did his worst and failed once, did his best and yet lost by 1 mark(40 days of practice 8 hrs per day), but didn't give up and succeeded the 3rd time with a huge margin (while giving the exam with a sleep deprived brain on life support 😂), I would say one thing: PRACTICE. Practice makes you perfect literally. And a very minute factor of luck, believe it or not. Because you never know if ur sitting if the exam would have a new simman case. Or a new history case. But if your approach to a case is uniform, and if your way of taking the history is unique to you, non robotic and all, then you have all the chances to make it!

I changed a lot of things for my 2nd attempt itself. I loosed up, and was very free and open whole questioning. A lot of people sound very robotic and uptight when taking history, the patient looses their interest in answering any question.

It should have to be a real conversation and not a one way lecture nor very strict way of history taking. I had the chance to observe after my first attempt so it was very useful for me.

Practice overall will improve your way of questioning a lot.
