PLAB 2 OSCE Preparation Tips
Essential strategies to help you pass your OSCE exam on the first attempt
Structure Your Consultations
Always follow a clear structure: ICE (Ideas, Concerns, Expectations), red flags, and a management plan. Examiners award marks for structured approaches.
Practice Communication Skills
Breaking bad news, counselling, and explaining diagnoses are heavily tested. Use empathy statements and check understanding regularly.
Master the 8-Minute Timer
Each station is only 8 minutes. Practice with a timer to ensure you can complete history, examination, and management within time limits.
Know Your Examiner Checklist
Understanding what examiners look for helps you hit every marking point. Review checklists after each practice session.
Prioritise Emergency Stations
ABC approach is critical in emergency scenarios. Always assess Airway, Breathing, and Circulation first before anything else.
Study Common Scenarios
Chest pain, abdominal pain, headache, and diabetes are frequently tested. Ensure you have structured approaches for these common presentations.
