A 67-year-old man with COPD and a penicillin allergy has CAP with right lower lobe consolidation. eGFR is 35. What is the most appropriate antibiotic?
What PLAB 1 actually tests
Clinical problem-solving at FY2 level, the UK way. Here's the shape of the exam QuizMed mirrors.
UK medical licensing
The GMC licensing exam for international medical graduates seeking to practise in the UK, at FY2 level.
180 questions, 3 hours
180 single-best-answer SBAs with 5 options each. Pass/fail, four sittings per year at Pearson VUE centres.
MLA Content Map
Since August 2024, PLAB 1 follows the MLA Content Map — multi-constraint clinical reasoning across 22 specialty areas.
Engineered to the PLAB 1 blueprint
Every question QuizMed writes follows the same rules the GMC does.
UK drug names throughout
Paracetamol, adrenaline, salbutamol, co-amoxiclav — every drug uses BNF generic names, never US equivalents.
NICE-first guidelines
Answers follow NICE, BNF, UK Sepsis Trust, and BTS/SIGN — never AHA, ACOG, or USPSTF.
NHS clinical settings
ED, GP surgery, AMU, and ward — all vignettes are set in NHS environments with UK terminology.
GMC ethics & UK law
Mental Capacity Act, Fraser guidelines, duty of candour, and Mental Health Act — the frameworks PLAB tests.
MLA multi-constraint reasoning
Post-August 2024 style: comorbidities + allergy + renal function + guideline knowledge in every vignette.
British English & spelling
Oedema, anaemia, haemorrhage, paediatrics — consistent British medical spelling throughout.

PLAB Part 1 questions, answered
Can QuizMed generate PLAB 1 questions from my notes?
Yes. Upload your revision notes, slides, or pasted text and QuizMed writes PLAB 1-style single best answer questions — UK drug names, NHS settings, NICE-first answers — aligned to the MLA content map.
Does it use UK guidelines and drug names?
Yes. Answers follow NICE, the BNF, the UK Sepsis Trust, and BTS/SIGN, with British generic drug names and British spelling throughout — never US guidelines or drug names.
Is PLAB 1 the same as the UKMLA?
They share the MLA content map — PLAB 1 has followed it since August 2024, and the UKMLA Applied Knowledge Test is built on it. QuizMed's UK exam mode targets that shared content, so it works for both.
Is it free to try, and can I export to Anki?
Your first five quizzes are free with no credit card required, and you can export your generated questions to Anki (.apkg) in one click for spaced repetition.
