Don't memorise. Reason.
This page is your first six weeks with Examora. Scroll through them.
You may begin.Day 1 · The diagnostic
One hundred questions find the gaps.
Before Examora teaches you anything, it examines you — calibrated items across every specialty in your blueprint.
Answer honestly. Wrong answers are more useful than right ones today.
Each response is scored against difficulty and specialty, not just right or wrong.
71 / 100. Respectable. But look at where the twenty-nine went missing…

Day 1, later · The map
Your map. Nobody else's.
Twenty answers become a knowledge map across eight specialties — the shape of what you know, and the dent in it.
Drawing your axes…
Cardiology holds at 82%. Psychiatry, 79%. You're stronger than you think.
And there it is. Renal, 34%. Every plan Examora builds starts from this dent.
Renal · 34% — start here
Day 2 · The plan
It treats the weakest topic first.
Tell Examora your exam date. It works backwards, weighting every week toward your dents and tapering into timed mocks.
Renal gets triple weight in the early weeks — while there's time to rebuild it.
Spaced repetition resurfaces each weak topic right before you'd forget it.
Final fortnight: timed mocks only. Miss a day on nights? It re-triages by morning.

Weeks 1–4 · The teaching
Then every question teaches.
Watch one item the way Examora walks you through it — the same way a good consultant would on a ward round.
First: read the stem properly. Every phrase is a clue, a red herring, or scaffolding.
The highlights are the diagnosis: sudden, maximal, meningism — thunderclap.
CT before LP. And now you know why A tempted you — that's the part that sticks.
PLAB 1 · Emergency · Q 047Reading…
A 34-year-old man presents with a sudden-onset headache reaching maximum intensity within seconds — the worst of his life — with photophobia and neck stiffness. BP 158/94, GCS 15.
AImmediate lumbar puncture
BNon-contrast CT head
CIV ceftriaxone and dexamethasone
DMRI brain with contrast
Examora's reasoning
Thunderclap triad → subarachnoid haemorrhage until proven otherwise. CT first; LP only ≥12 h after onset if CT is negative — xanthochromia needs time. A tempts you because LP feels decisive. Examiners write distractors from real cognitive errors. Examora names yours.
Week 6 · The retest
The map heals.
Every session redraws it. Six weeks of triage later, the dent is gone — and the plan hands you over to the mocks.
Same eight axes. Watch the dashed line — that was you on day one.
Renal: 34%. The deepest dent recovers fastest — it had the most to gain.
Nothing below 78%. You're not hoping any more. You're ready.
