Every feature, explained.
MedRevisions is a family of exam platforms (PLAB Revisions, UKMLA Revisions and OSCE Revisions) built on one idea: spend your revision time on what will actually come up. Here is every tool, what it does, and why it matters for your exam.
Know exactly what to study
MLA content map (September 2026)
Every question, mapped to the GMC blueprint in force from September 2026.
The GMC published a revised MLA content map in October 2025, and it applies to PLAB 1 and UKMLA assessments taken from September 2026. It names around 430 conditions, up from about 311, including giant cell arteritis and Huntington disease. We re-mapped our questions and notes to it in early 2026, months before it took effect. Track your coverage specialty by specialty, and filter practice and mocks by condition, presentation or status to see exactly what's left.
Why it matters for your exam: PLAB 1 and the UKMLA AKT are written against this map, so covering it systematically is the surest way not to be surprised on the day.

Study Essential mode
Cover the content map with the 1,800 questions that count.
Study Essential sorts the bank into three priority tiers (Must know, Should know and Advanced), so you start with the high-yield questions examiners test every sitting and build breadth after.
Why it matters for your exam: When time is short, order matters. Securing the core first gets you to a passing standard sooner.

AI study plan
A plan shaped by how you're actually doing.
Smart Revision builds a study plan from your real answer history, so each day's work targets the topics where you'll gain the most.
Why it matters for your exam: A generic timetable treats every topic the same; your plan shouldn't.

- PLAB Revisions

Learn it properly
Expert notes
Concise, guideline-linked, current.
Notes written and maintained by our medical team against NICE, BNF, CKS and SIGN, with common-confusion boxes and exam tips inline. Get a question wrong and the linked note is one tap away.
Why it matters for your exam: Exams reward the distinctions between look-alike conditions, and these notes are built around exactly those distinctions.
Available on:
- PLAB Revisions
- UKMLA Revisions
Guideline-aligned note
Heart failure — immediate management
Key points
- First-line: ACEi + β-blocker (titrate to target dose)
- Add MRA if symptoms persist (NYHA II–IV with LVEF ≤35%)
- Offer SGLT2i (dapa / empa) regardless of diabetes status
Common confusion
HFrEF (reduced EF) vs HFpEF (preserved) — the drug ladder above applies to HFrEF only. HFpEF management focuses on diuretics + comorbidity control.
MCQ tip
If the stem mentions ejection fraction above 50% — think HFpEF, not HFrEF. The answer is usually diuretics, not ACE inhibitors.
Library: read and practise
Read any topic's note, then drill its questions.
Open a note in the Library and launch its exam-style questions in one tap. Reading and practising happen in the same place, so knowledge is tested the moment it's learned.
Why it matters for your exam: Testing yourself straight after reading locks the topic in far better than reading alone.
Available on:
- PLAB Revisions
- UKMLA Revisions
Mind maps
See how every topic connects.
Interactive specialty maps. Click any node to open its linked questions, the expert note and a one-tap NICE search.
Why it matters for your exam: Seeing how presentations, causes and management connect helps you reason through unfamiliar stems.

Remember it on the day
Spaced repetition
Questions come back just before you'd forget them.
Spaced repetition runs through the question bank, weakness mocks and flashcards. Questions you get right resurface at growing intervals (1, 3 and 7 days), and the ones you miss come back sooner.
Why it matters for your exam: Re-reading fades fast. Testing yourself at spaced intervals is one of the most strongly evidenced ways to make knowledge stick for exam day.

Is MedRevisions one platform or several?
Several, with one team. PLAB Revisions is for PLAB 1, UKMLA Revisions is for the UKMLA AKT, and OSCE Revisions covers clinical exams: PLAB 2, UKMLA CPSA, medical school OSCEs and AMC Clinical. Each is built for its own exam and its own guidelines.
Can I try the features for free?
Yes. A free PLAB Revisions or UKMLA Revisions account includes 70+ sample questions, selected Study Essential topics and limited AI tutor access. OSCE Revisions lets you try 3 voice and 3 text AI stations free. No card is required.
How does spaced repetition work in MedRevisions?
Questions you answer correctly come back at growing intervals (1, 3 and 7 days), and the ones you miss come back sooner. It runs through the question bank, weakness mocks and flashcards, so review happens automatically as you practise.
What is the AI Professor based on?
Its answers are grounded in UK guidance (NICE, BNF, CKS and SIGN) rather than free-form text, and it can point you to related questions and notes on the platform.
How often is the content updated?
Guideline changes from NICE, BNF, CKS and SIGN are applied within weeks, and new exam-style questions are added after every PLAB 1 and UKMLA AKT sitting. Our updates page lists what changed.
Is MedRevisions updated for the September 2026 MLA content map?
Yes. The GMC published the revised content map in October 2025, and it applies to PLAB 1 and UKMLA assessments taken from September 2026. We re-mapped our questions and notes to it in early 2026, months before it took effect, and we update the bank when the GMC revises the map.
