### 5/5 — Plab 1 success

*2026-07-02, version 3.86.0*

Passed plab 1 only by studying from plabable. Plabable alone is enough to pass plab 1 with the guidance of excellent mentors. Highly recommend to everyone.

### 5/5 — Inna

*2026-07-02, version 3.86.0*

The three day Plabable course is essential in passing PLAB 1 exam. 
I am grateful for the opportunity to join.
Thank you Plabable team. We appreciate it.

### 5/5 — The most helpful app

*2026-07-02*

Plabable really helped me pass my exam. This is the only app I used for the exam. It’s built well with exam focused questions and mocks. The gems are to the point and the revision courses and webinars really helped me in the last few days of my preparation. I highly recommend this app for preparing for the exam

### 5/5 — 👌🏼

*2026-07-02, version 3.86.0*

Best app for PLAB 1 and 2 prep! Past on first attempts.

### 5/5 — Best PLAB Platform!

*2026-05-12, version 3.84.0*

Plabable offers the most comprehensive resources and the team is supportive and responsive to any questions. Their 4-Day-PLAB1 Course was phenomenal and truly helped me pass my exam by guiding me on what to focus on early on in prep! The BIG Mock is Golden! Brand new challenging questions, best to do before your PLAB1 exam. You can tell the team takes time curating these as they are very reflective of the exam question style, and the rapid revision Courses days before the exam helps to calm your nerves and reinforce what you’ve learned. All in all, a great experience and the ONLY resource you need for PLAB prep!

### 2/5 — ENDLESS UPDATE

*2026-05-03, version 3.83.0*

The app needs to address the issue of constant, disruptive updates. Each time you try to open the downloaded app, an update prompt appears. Attempting to skip the update causes the app to freeze, preventing access to the content you intend to study. Even when you complete the update fully, another update prompt often appears during use, creating a repetitive and frustrating cycle that interrupts productivity.

### 5/5 — Great for plab exam highly recommend it

*2026-05-03, version 3.83.0*

Great website

### 5/5 — Dr

*2026-03-30, version 3.72.0*

This is one of the of the most simplified yet detailed exam preparation material I have seen. It is worth having by every medical student and every doctor for quick reference. It probably should be turned into a book.

### 5/5 — PLAB 1 4 day revision course review

*2026-03-29, version 3.72.0*

4-day revision course

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-03-27, version 3.72.0*

All you need for cracking PLAB, and don’t miss the exclusive 4-days Revision course and the last minute Revision courses specially Rapid fire sessions by Dr Sze. It really helps. Helped me.
A big many thanks to PLABABLE team for making the journey easier.

### 5/5 — Plabable is the best

*2026-03-27*

I truly believe that the Plabable team, led by Dr. Sze, is one of the best possible resources for passing the PLAB exam. Despite failing a couple of times, I never doubted the platform or felt the need to switch resources, because Plabable is genuinely a one-stop solution for everything related to PLAB preparation.

One of the standout aspects of the team is how consistently they update the content—almost daily—ensuring that you are always studying the most relevant and up-to-date material. The platform itself makes studying engaging and interactive, which turns what could be a stressful process into something genuinely enjoyable.

The 4-day course is an absolute game changer. It’s incredibly high-yield, and I strongly believe that attending it can boost your score by at least 10–15 marks. It’s truly an opportunity you shouldn’t miss.

I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Sze for his personal support. After failing multiple times, I was feeling extremely demotivated and was on the verge of giving up. However, he took the time to guide me one-on-one, offering both clarity and encouragement when I needed it the most. Thanks to his support and the Plabable team, I am proud to say that I have now passed my PLAB exam.

I am deeply grateful for all the effort and dedication they put into helping students succeed.

*2026-03-26, version 3.72.0*

Thank you, I am very grateful 🙏

### 5/5 — Gold standard for PLAB

*2026-03-26, version 3.72.0*

Plabable is the only thing you need for PLAB. I am writing this after passing PLAB 1. The resources on PLABABLE- Gems, Q bank are comprehensive and  most accurate(exactly like the real exam). I also took the big mocks and did webinars. Extremely helpful and affordable. Big thanks to PLABABLE team.

### 1/5 — Disappointing approach to question resets

*2026-08-11, version 3.88.0*

PLABable has a good question bank, but I find their approach to resetting questions unnecessarily restrictive and frustrating. Once you’ve attempted questions, you can’t simply reset them and practice again without paying for another extension.

For a question bank aimed at medical exam preparation, being able to redo questions is a pretty basic revision feature. Students often want to revisit questions after learning more, but having to pay again just to reset previously attempted questions feels more like a way of generating additional revenue than providing a genuinely useful study experience.

The content itself may be useful, but the reset policy is disappointing and makes the platform feel unnecessarily money-focused. I hope PLABable reconsider this and allow users to reset their questions, or at least offer a reasonably priced reset option.

### 1/5 — Crashes multiple times a day

*2026-04-10, version 3.78.0*

The app crashes so many times a day whenever i open the app and click on yes to go where i had left off. It just closes the app and goes back to home screen. My exam is so near and I'm losing out on chunks of time because of this bug. Please fix it ASAP

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2026-03-12, version 3.70.0*

I am giving one star for the IT of the app , its bizarre, the front page for the question category doesn’t reflect the completion of them , it always show that there are more questions to do where there is no more ! I contacted the support and followed this instructions but nothing changed

### 1/5 — Very glitchy

*2025-10-22*

Please fix the application, it’s very glitchy and difficult to access different sections. Some offline sections aren’t always accessible even when online. Downloading doesn’t do anything. This is all disappointing considering this is a PAID application.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. Could you please email us at hello@plabable.com so we can assist you directly and get you up and running.

### 1/5 — Serious technical issues

*2024-09-02, version 3.48.0*

Been locked out for the past hr due to accidental screen shot…

### 1/5 — Wastes time loading questions

*2022-04-26*

Why does it take so long to load the next question, tried on many devices, still the same. It would be nice if plabable had a pdf version, wastes so much time loading questions

### 1/5 — Reset option

*2022-03-28, version 3.0.37*

There should be an option to reset the app.

### 1/5 — BAD APP!

*2022-01-17, version 3.0.28*

I haven’t been able to begin using the app because of how shoddy it is! 
It’s not letting me skip downloading the offline images, so I thought ‘might as well download them’ but now it’s not downloading the images. The moment I shut the app it restarts downloading   images and has used up my day’s mobile data as well as a significant chunk of my wifi. 
Please fix!

### 1/5 — Bug

*2021-11-09, version 3.0.22*

Every time I want to use the app, it starts downloading data to be able to work offline without asking me whether I want it or not. And it takes ages to download even 10/500 files it needs. And if I let the app download it after an hour it starts over from the scratch. 
This app is useless! Another fantastic feature of this app is not letting me skip this ridiculous data downloading.
Bravo! You did great! Super annoying time-wasting platform, exactly what we need to prepare for this exam.

### 1/5 — Deeply disappointed.

*2021-04-30*

‘Dont try to fix something, which isn’t broken’ - the PLABABLE administration should deeply contemplate this famous saying.

Its unfortunate for me to belittle the efforts of the PLABABLE team, because of a miscalculated decision on their behalf.
The Qs were available even offline, which meant that I could go over chapters and attempt mocks even during my hospital shifts (in which there is very poor internet coverage at my hospital) - a hugely beneficial strongpoint!
However, the Qs and mocks now are ONLY available when you’re online - meaning I’m wasting countless hours during the day when i dont have internet access, not being able to practise and go over answered Qs.

I’m genuinely deeply disappointed.
Unfortunately, as the offline option is now not available - I recommend people to explore other plab 1 ‘online-only’ Qbanks too.

Plabable is more than enough to ace Plab 1 exam. I scored 162 only with Plabable

### 5/5 — The best spent money

*2026-07-02, version 3.86.0*

This was the best decision in my preparation for gmc registration, I prepared with them for plab 1 and got pass with good marks on first attempt; they make the study comfortable and enjoyable, giving you the most relevant information in the best possible way. You see their efforts to make this work. No words to describe how grateful I am.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-07-02, version 3.86.0*

Plabable is amazing. It helped me prepare and pass my exam. I recommend joining the 4 days course as it will definitely boost your score.

### 5/5 — Passed on My First Attempt

*2026-07-02, version 3.86.0*

I passed PLAB 1 on my first attempt, scoring 164, using PLABABLE as my only preparation resource.

What impressed me most was that PLABABLE didn’t just teach me how to answer questions; it built the fundamental knowledge and clinical reasoning needed to approach the exam with confidence. The Gems provided a solid foundation, while the question bank and mocks helped me develop pattern recognition and reinforced key concepts.

I also appreciated having everything in one place. Rather than jumping between multiple resources, I focused on mastering PLABABLE, which made my revision much more structured and less overwhelming.

A huge thank you to Sze, Adam, and all the doctors behind PLABABLE for creating such an outstanding resource. I couldn’t recommend it more highly to future PLAB candidates.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-07-02, version 3.86.0*

Trust the process and the content! It will definitely make a difference in getting you ready to write this exam.
