Consulting Rooms · free for every account

Practice PLAB 2 with a partner. Anywhere.

One of you plays the doctor. The other plays the patient, with a real script, hidden facts, and the actual mark scheme to tick off live. Eight minutes, a banded score, then swap roles. All you both need is a browser and a microphone.

How it works

No scheduling spreadsheets and no apps to install. A room takes thirty seconds to set up.

1

Pick a station, create a room

Choose from 470+ PLAB 2 stations: history, counselling, breaking bad news, ethics. Pick your role, doctor or patient. You get a six-letter room code.

2

Share the link with anyone

Send the room link on WhatsApp or invite by email. Your partner can be in another city or another country. They join in one click from their browser.

3

Consult, score, swap

Eight minutes on the clock. The patient follows a real script and ticks the mark scheme live. You finish with a banded score across all three PLAB 2 domains, then swap roles and rematch.

Playing the patient is secretly the best revision

When you are the patient, you see the full mark scheme while your partner consults. You watch, in real time, which questions earn marks, which safety items get missed, and what a strong consultation sounds like from the other side of the desk.

That is the examiner's seat. Candidates who practise both roles walk into the exam knowing what the mark scheme rewards, because they have ticked it themselves a dozen times.

The patient brief includes hidden facts and disclosure rules, just like a real simulated patient. So playing the patient well is its own skill: you learn exactly how information should be drawn out, because you experience what fails to draw it out.

"I thought I was helping my study partner by playing the patient. Then I realised I had memorised what every chest-pain mark scheme rewards. The patient seat is where I actually learned the exam."

The idea behind Consulting Rooms

Better than hunting for partners in chat groups

Most candidates find practice partners in Telegram and WhatsApp groups and rehearse from shared PDFs. It works, but it leaks hours.

Partner-hunting in chat groups

  • Timezone negotiation, no-shows, ghosting
  • The same handful of over-rehearsed stations
  • The patient improvises: no script, no hidden facts
  • "That felt fine" instead of a score
  • Nobody tracks what you keep missing

  • Create a room, send one link, done
  • 470+ stations across every specialty

Questions candidates ask

Is it really free?
Yes. Consulting rooms are free and unlimited for every Plabity account. No card and no trial clock.
Can I practise with someone in another country?
Yes, that is the point. Most IMG study pairs are split across countries and timezones. If you can both open a browser, you can share a room. Voice carries over the room link and there is nothing to install.
Do I need a webcam?
No. Rooms are voice-only, matching the real exam's emphasis on what you say and how you say it. You need a microphone and a quiet corner.
How is the consultation scored?
The patient sees the station's real mark scheme, the same one Plabity's solo grader uses, and ticks criteria as the doctor earns them. At the end you get a banded result across Data Gathering, Clinical Management and Interpersonal Skills, with safety-critical misses flagged separately.
My study partner doesn't have an account. Can they still join?
Signing up is free and takes under a minute. They will need an account so the room knows who is who. Send them the room link and they can register on the way in.
Which stations can we practise?
The full Plabity library: 470+ stations covering history-taking, counselling, breaking bad news, ethics and more, across every specialty in the PLAB 2 blueprint.

Your study partner is one link away.
