November 2025 PLAB & UKMLA Exam Update: Latest Questions, Key Changes, and Expert Insights
The November 2025 PLAB 1 exam has once again reinforced the trend towards highly integrated, clinical decision-making scenarios. While the core medical concepts remain grounded in the MLA content map, this sitting introduced a specific layer of complexity—focusing on "twists" in standard presentations and nuanced ethical dilemmas that tested candidates' ability to think on their feet.
For MedRevisions users, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive: most candidates found the exam manageable because our platform had already extensively covered the core topics tested. However, we know that the difference between a pass and a high score often lies in navigating the confusing distractors and "twist" elements of a question.
That is why MedRevisions has once again responded swiftly. We haven't just rested on the fact that our users found it easy; we have added brand-new questions that specifically mirror the "confusion aspect" and unique phrasing of the November 2025 exam. We do this regularly after every single exam to ensure our candidates are never blindsided by a new trend.

What’s New in the November 2025 Exam?
The "Twist" Factor: Standard textbook presentations were often replaced with clinical variations—such as atypical symptoms or complicating co-morbidities—designed to confuse the unprepared candidate.
Ethical Nuance: There was a significant focus on GMC guidance, particularly regarding social media and confidentiality, requiring a precise understanding of professional boundaries rather than just general principles.
Drug & Interaction Focus: Questions on novel substances and specific prescribing scenarios (like palliative care and anaphylaxis management) highlighted the need for up-to-date pharmacological knowledge.
Newly Added Questions and Topics
In response to the November 2025 exam, we have updated our question bank to mirror the specific style and "twists" of the recent recall questions. While we already covered these topics extensively, these new additions are designed to help you navigate the confusing elements candidates faced this month.
Our team has meticulously added questions on the following key areas:
Dermatology: Telogen Effluvium, Acne Vulgaris, Isotretinoin
Emergency Medicine: Novel psychoactive substances, Anaphylaxis
Endocrinology: Diabetic Neuropathy, Hypoglycaemia
Ethics & Law: GMC Guidance (General), Decisions Relating to Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR), Confidentiality, Social Media usage
Haematology: B12 Deficiency, Neutropenic Sepsis
Nephrology: Renal Stones, Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS)
Obstetrics: Chickenpox Exposure in Pregnancy, Constipation in Adults (Obstetric context)
Oncology: Palliative Care Prescribing
Ophthalmology: Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction
Paediatrics: Measles
Respiratory: Tuberculosis
Each new question is accompanied by a detailed explanation that breaks down exactly why the correct answer is right and, more importantly, why the confusing distractors are wrong. This ensures you understand the "twist" and aren't tricked by similar phrasing in your real exam.
