   well i only discovered this site yesterday so am slowly working my way thru as many qs as possible...been using both oxford handbooks, una coales, plab first aid, and another website www.onexamination.com but the qs there seem to be plab/mrcp level...
   what's this site like? do u think it reflects the standard of the exam?

   yeah,I think its worthwhile, but honestly speaking only the results will tell us that.Is this your first attempt?dont get offended, just that its not my first attempt, abd I've already used all the other aids that u've talked about.I just miss the cutoff by 4 marks last time.

   no offence taken..this is my first attempt...4 marks is a very narrow margin..do u mind me asking what happened the first time? was time a factor or were the questions of a different type/standard? and i'm guessing the aids i have weren't of much use?

   no no no...plz dont be disheartened...the aids u have are great...I've learned that PLAB 1 is also a lot about ur luck on the day of the exam...I know ppl who passed who just did the PLABdigest...THATS IT!!!
   Time was also not a factor coz I had been pacing and timing myself beforehand, so I had a few minutes to spare in the end.
   Sometimes the questions are just different from what u'd expect.
   They have started giving picture questions also now.Usually its just 1 or 2 EMQs mostly about derma lesions and u'll have that covered if u've been looking at the pics in the 123doc answers.
   Just practice as much as u can and pray for good luck :)
