Study planning

3-Month UKMLA & PLAB 1 Study Plan for Workers | MedRevisions

Pass the UKMLA AKT and PLAB 1 with our 3-month study plan for working doctors. Get a realistic weekly schedule mapped to the MLA Content Map.

Updated

Weekly architecture

  • Weekdays: short targeted blocks with one system focus per day.
  • Weekend: long mixed blocks and summary review of wrong answers.
  • Final day each week: consolidation, not new content loading.

Progress monitoring

  • Track weekly confidence score per system and update priorities.
  • Escalate weak systems into next-week front-loaded sessions.
  • Maintain one full timed simulation weekly from mid-plan onward — full PLAB 1, full UKMLA Paper 1, or both depending on your sitting.
