Mini Mock for PLAB 2 / UKMLA – Simulated OSCE Experience by Lite Regal Education
At Lite Regal Education, we understand the critical importance of focused, high-quality preparation when it comes to passing clinical skills exams like the PLAB 2 or UKMLA Clinical & Professional Skills Assessment (CPSA). To support candidates in their journey, we proudly offer our Mini Mock OSCE sessions – a condensed yet highly effective version of the full exam.
What is a Mini Mock?
A Mini Mock is a shortened, structured practice exam designed to simulate the real OSCE conditions of PLAB 2 or the UKMLA. Instead of the full 16 stations, our Mini Mocks typically consist of 5 to 8 stations, carefully selected to reflect a broad range of scenarios that candidates are likely to encounter in the actual exam.
These sessions are ideal for candidates at all stages of preparation and serve several key purposes:
- ✅ Gauge current performance under exam-style pressure
- ✅ Receive structured, personalised feedback from experienced tutors and doctors
- ✅ Practice communication, data gathering, and clinical reasoning skills in a realistic setting
- ✅ Improve time management and confidence
- ✅ Identify gaps in knowledge or clinical approach before sitting the actual exam
What Does the Mini Mock Include?
At Lite Regal, we ensure a well-rounded and exam-relevant experience. Our Mini Mock stations will cover:
- 🩺 History-Taking Stations
E.g. Chest pain, headache, abdominal pain, depression – with focus on ICE (Ideas, Concerns, Expectations), red flags, and structured frameworks. - ⚖️ Ethical & Professionalism Scenarios
E.g. Breaking bad news, confidentiality breaches, consent, capacity, dealing with difficult colleagues or patient complaints. - 🛑 Medical Error & Patient Safety Scenarios
Learn how to handle and communicate medical mistakes professionally and empathetically, using GMC principles. - 🎓 Teaching Stations
Be assessed on your ability to deliver a brief yet structured teaching session on a clinical topic or skill to a peer or junior colleague.
Detailed Feedback & Structured Guidance
Following the Mini Mock, each candidate will receive:
- ✅ Comprehensive feedback on each station
Covering communication style, clinical approach, body language, and use of time. - ✅ A verbal debrief and written summary from the examiner
- ✅ A sample script and multiple model approaches to each station
This helps you compare your method with various effective strategies to approach the same scenario. - ✅ Suggestions for improvement and personalised action points for further study and practice.
Whether you’re approaching your PLAB 2 date or sitting the UKMLA CPSA, our Mini Mock sessions are an invaluable opportunity to sharpen your skills, gain confidence, and get exam-ready under supportive guidance.
📍 Join our next session and take a crucial step closer to passing with excellence.
