Before you start
A plan built around your week
Tell PLAB Vault when your exam is, if you have booked it, and how many hours a week you can give. It lays the whole course out for you, one topic a week, ending with full rehearsal exams.
You can change your exam date or your pace at any time.
Step 1
Open it, and your day is laid out
The Today screen shows what to do next, in order: the week's lessons, the day's cards, then Today's Quiz. There is nothing to plan and nothing to choose between.
Step 2
Start with a short lesson
Each week opens with a few lessons of about ten minutes each. They explain why the answer is the answer, written to UK practice, so the facts have something to hang on.
Step 3
Then the day's 30 flashcards
Tap a card to see the answer, then say how well you knew it. A card you missed comes back later the same day. One you knew comes back in a few days, just before you would forget it.
Step 4
Finish with exam-style questions
Today's Quiz asks about what you have just studied, in the format the exam uses. Every answer comes with the reason, so a wrong answer still teaches you something. The course has more than 2,000 questions.
In the quiz
ECGs and charts, drawn in the question
Some questions come with a figure to read: an ECG, a growth chart, a hearing test, a study plot. Tap one to enlarge it. They are drawn by PLAB Vault for teaching.
Step 5
See what to work on next
Your chart shows how you are doing in each exam area, and it updates as you study. Checkpoints and full mock exams along the way show whether you are on track.
