Free PLAB & UKMLA Questions: Weekly Rotation Plan

A simple weekly rotation using free MLA-mapped questions to find knowledge gaps before you commit to a full study block.

Updated 5 min read

Free questions are useful when they create a repeatable weekly signal — not when they become endless untimed scrolling.

Start here: Free resources (70+ exam-style questions, no card required).

The weekly rotation (3 short sessions)

DaySessionFocus
Day A20–25 timed questionsMixed MLA presentations
Day BReview-onlyRe-read every explanation for misses; write 5 “rules”
Day C20–25 timed questionsTarget yesterday’s weak themes

Run this for 2–3 weeks before deciding whether to upgrade into a full bank or Study Essential path.

What to track

  • Topics you guess vs know
  • Whether misses are guideline, stem-reading, or pure knowledge
  • Whether timing collapses after question ~15

Then escalate:

  1. Study Essential strategy
  2. Full question bank
  3. Brand pillar: PLAB exam guide or UKMLA exam guide

Checklist

  • Three sessions scheduled this week
  • Timer enabled
  • Error themes written down (not only scores)
  • Linked each weak theme to a guide or notes section

Who this is for

  • Candidates deciding whether a full bank is worth it
  • Doctors returning after a break who need a low-friction restart
  • Students who want a measurable weekly habit before finals intensity rises

Who should skip straight to a full plan

If your exam is inside 8 weeks and you already know the MLA Content Map is your syllabus, start the PLAB 3-month plan or UKMLA 16-week plan immediately and use free questions only as a warm-up.

Common questions

How many free sessions should I do before upgrading?

Run at least two to three structured weeks so your baseline error pattern is clear before deciding next steps.
