PLAB 2 practice AI: an AI patient you can talk to

What an AI simulator does well

A PLAB 2 AI simulator is strongest where the exam is mainly talking: history taking, counselling, breaking bad news, ethics and telephone calls. You practise opening, questions, explaining and closing, and you hear yourself under time pressure.

See PLAB 2 history taking and breaking bad news in PLAB 2 for how to structure those stations.

What it cannot replace

The GMC lists physical examination and procedures such as cannulation, suturing and bimanual examination. An AI patient cannot watch your hands. Practise those with a partner, a model or a face-to-face course. For spoken examination stations, saying your findings aloud still helps.

Practise online with a plan

• Use the 8 minute limit and read the task in 90 seconds first.
• Say your name and GMC number at the start, as the GMC requires.
• Review one domain at a time: data gathering, management, interpersonal.
• Repeat the same theme until it feels calm.

Our feedback is estimated and is not a GMC result. See PLAB 2 mark scheme for the three domains and pricing for plans.
