Practice beats reading.
You learn the cubicle by sitting cubicles. So we built unlimited spoken repetitions you can run any time, free.
About Plabity
Voice-based PLAB 2 practice for international medical graduates. Built by clinicians who have sat and taught the exam, modelled on the published PLAB 2 syllabus and the publicly-described CPSA rubric. The closest thing to sitting the real exam, before exam day.
PLAB 2 prep has been the same for twenty years.
Three options. Read a textbook, drill an MCQ bank, or pay £400 for an in-person mock that runs once. Textbooks teach you the facts. Question banks rehearse recognition. The mock simulates the cubicle, but only once, on a Saturday, with a queue of doctors waiting for the same room.
The gap between knowing the answer on paper and saying it under exam pressure is where most candidates lose. The only way to close that gap is to sit cubicles. So we made cubicles you can sit at 2am, on your phone, three weeks before exam day.
How a station runs.
Four phases, eight minutes, no shortcuts.
-
01
Read the task card.
The same five-field card the real exam gives you: where you are, who the patient is, what you must do, the special note. Two minutes to plan before the door opens.
-
02
Sit the cubicle.
Real-time voice. A patient who behaves the way real patients do, holding back ideas and concerns until you ask. Eight-minute clock, no replays.
-
03
Marked to the rubric.
Marked against the full PLAB-style rubric. Every criterion shows whether you hit it, partially, or missed it, with the exact moment from your encounter as proof. Back in seconds, not days.
-
04
Detailed feedback.
Three domain scores on the same four-band scale the real exam uses. Three strengths, three improvements, one coaching tip. Retake the same station and answer better.
What we believe.
Feedback should be specific.
"Improve your communication" is not actionable. "You said cancer in turn six without warning the patient first" is. Every mark scheme item gives you the receipt.
Cost should not gate competence.
£400 for one in-person mock prices most candidates out of repetition. Plabity is free, built for the candidate who needs to sit thirty cubicles, not three.
Who's behind it.
Plabity is built by clinicians who have sat the exam, taught the exam, and seen the gap between "knowing it" and "saying it under pressure" up close. Stations are authored to the published PLAB 2 syllabus and the publicly-described CPSA rubric, then cross-referenced against UK primary sources (NICE, NHS, BNF, GMC Good Medical Practice) before they go live.
We are not the GMC and we do not have the GMC's internal mark scheme. Anyone who claims to is misleading you. What we have is the same rubric every published training pack uses, applied consistently and at the cubicle-by-cubicle granularity the real exam grades at.
