Free PLAB 1 & UKMLA Study Materials (2026 Edition)
Welcome to the most comprehensive hub for free PLAB 1 and UKMLA resources. Whether you are an International Medical Graduate (IMG) starting your journey or a final-year student preparing for the Medical Licensing Assessment, you need materials that are up-to-date.
Below you will find our curated study plans, high-yield clinical questions, and revision notes—all updated for the latest GMC MLA Content Map.
1. Stop Searching for "Question Bank PDFs"
Why static downloads are hurting your score.
Thousands of candidates search for "PLAB 1 Question Bank PDF" or "Recalls PDF" every month. While free downloads seem attractive, they are often dangerous for your preparation.
Guidelines Change: Medicine evolves. A PDF from 2023 will not reflect the latest NICE Guidelines or the new 2025/2026 updates.
The Exam Has Changed: The PLAB 1 exam now aligns with the UKMLA Content Map. Old "Recalls" often miss the new style of clinical scenarios.
The Solution: Use "Live Materials." At MedRevisions, our questions and notes are updated daily. If a guideline changes today, our platform changes today.

5. The "Reverse Engineering" Method: Master Clinical Reasoning
Are you struggling to connect basic sciences to clinical practice?
We have developed a unique study method called "Reverse Engineering." Instead of memorising dry facts, you use clinical questions to work backwards to the anatomy and physiology. This is the secret to mastering the new UKMLA Clinical Reasoning requirement.
We have written a complete guide on how to use our AI Medical Tutor to execute this method. It is a game-changer for both preclinical students and PLAB-UKMLA candidates.

How did he pass the First PLAB exam that was based on the MLA content map in August 2024
How helpful was MedRevisions for the PLAB 1 exam and how did he use MedRevisions to prepare for the PLAB 1 exam?
“Very helpful. Not only did it boost my knowledge for plab but revolutionised my concepts and knowledge as a medical practitioner. It changed the whole plab game for me. Amazing study resource. Used their notes first and then solved the mcq bank. Highlighted the wrong ones and did them again in the end. Bookmark option is also very helpful and saves a lot of time.”
