What changed
- MedRevisions launched in May 2023 with an initial bank of clinically reviewed questions mapped to the UKMLA curriculum and PLAB exam blueprint.
- Structured smart notes covered core clinical systems with exam-relevant summaries and management pathways.
- Built-in progress tracking and performance analytics helped candidates identify weak areas from day one.
Why it matters for your score
- This was the platform's first public release. Since launch we have grown the bank to 5,400+ questions (and we continue to add more), added the full MLA Content Map mapping, and introduced personalised revision notes, mind maps, weakness mocks, and more.

Practical checklist

- Historical note: the initial launch bank was smaller than the current one by design — we prioritised quality review over volume.
- Every question from the original launch has since been re-verified against the current MLA Content Map.
