  • Every case is written for that exam's specific syllabus and latest guidelines
  • Patient script included for traditional self-study or practice with a partner
  • Or consult a live AI virtual patient that listens and responds to your voice in real time

PLAB 2
I went through the case bank properly instead of just skimming it, and the learning points at the end of each case made revision so much faster. Sitting with the AI patient a few times a week built up my confidence before the real thing.

SCA Exam
The feedback after each consultation broke everything down by data gathering, clinical management and interpersonal skills, so I always knew exactly which domain was pulling my score down. That focus took me from a rough 58% in my first mock to a comfortable pass.

PLAB 2
Practising daily with the AI patient has been the biggest change to my routine. It asks follow up questions the way a real actor would, not scripted ones, so I actually have to think on my feet.

SCA Exam
What stood out was how the feedback mapped straight onto the actual SCA domains rather than generic comments. I could see exactly which cases I needed to revisit before my next mock.

PLAB 2
I was already on a traditional PLAB 2 course but used this alongside it for extra practice. The cases and the AI patient pushed me to correct myself mid consultation instead of only finding out afterwards.

SCA Exam
Tracking my progress week by week has been the most useful part for me. I can actually see which areas are improving and which ones still need work before my sitting.
