About the Book:
Provide an understanding of the new pattern of this examination from year 2000;the first book of its kind wherein the author has tried his best to make it easily readable and easy to follow; incorporates about 3500 extended matching questions (emqs) covering all the major topics;more stress has been laid on the topics which are rendered important from the point of view of the plab examination;first-timers (beginner aspirants), as well as those who have been preparing already, will find the handbook equally useful.
The huge success of the first edition filled me with enthusiasm, to work hard to update the book. When I first wrote the book, being the first one in the field, just after the first exam based on new pattern, I do realize it had questions, which were difficult and not really suitable for PLAB.
Over time, we have learned more about GMC questioning style and topics of interest and importance. We have tried our best to add on the relevant questions and change the previous ones to make this book an essential read for all PLAB aspirants.
