AI OSCE Practice Compared: MedMock and Its Alternatives

Featured image for AI OSCE Practice Compared: MedMock and Its Alternatives

Product details checked on 5 November 2026. This comparison is published by iatroX and includes its own service.

AI OSCE practice becomes useful when it changes what you say in your next consultation. The right platform should give you a relevant task, a patient or examiner who responds, and feedback you can turn into a better performance.

MedMock, Geeky Medics, Quesmed, OSCE Revisions and iatroX approach that job differently. Some organise practice around a particular exam; others combine a large station library with peer circuits. iatroX connects available clinical simulations with evidence-linked feedback, Tutor and wider exam learning, making it particularly attractive when you want to understand and retain what a mock exposes.

One naming distinction matters first. MedMock is the spoken AI practice platform. MedMocks, with an “s”, offers written question banks and timed mocks, including PLAB 1, MRCP Part 1 and MRCPsych Papers A and B. A written bank can support the knowledge behind an oral station; it serves a different task from a conversation with an AI patient.

MedMock: broad spoken examination practice

MedMock’s supported-exam directory spans undergraduate clinical preparation, PLAB 2, PACES, MRCGP SCA, surgical and anaesthetic oral exams, other specialty assessments and recruitment interviews. That range makes it relevant to candidates whose needs extend beyond a medical-school OSCE bank.

The platform offers spoken or typed interactions with patients, examiners and relatives, alongside clinical data and imaging. Its stated feedback covers diagnostic reasoning and areas for improvement. The practical question is whether your chosen exam’s stations give you the sort of exchange you need: a focused history, a challenging management discussion or a viva answer under pressure.

Current MedMock pricing starts with a £5 one-off taster containing 30 credits. One credit buys one minute of spoken practice or two typed replies; completed-station scorecards, mark schemes and model answers do not consume extra credits. Standard monthly plans vary by exam and career stage, starting at £20. Estimate your likely speaking time when comparing the cost of a revision block.

Geeky Medics: AI rehearsal and peer circuits

Geeky Medics’ OSCE collection currently lists more than 1,300 human-authored stations and 900 AI virtual patients. It combines patient interactions with examiner checklists, examiner-style questions and AI feedback. Users can also assign candidate, patient and examiner roles to friends and assemble circuits.

That combination suits a mixed routine: use a virtual patient when studying alone, then run selected stations with colleagues. A group circuit gives a peer the opportunity to notice how you delivered an explanation or handled the transition between tasks.

The interaction modes have different access requirements. Text consultations are free; real-time audio uses four credits for up to 15 minutes. Avatar video uses 15 credits for up to ten minutes and requires eligible access plus a compatible station. The Clinical Skills annual plan is displayed at £49.99 with 100 credits; Everything is £69.99 with 200 credits and additional resources, both renewing yearly.

GP registrars should examine the separate SCA case bank. Its 200-plus cases are written by GPs and training programme directors and include SCA-mapped checklists, AI feedback and group practice. This is a more specific comparison for consultation preparation than the general OSCE collection.

Quesmed: repeated finals and CPSA practice

Quesmed OSCE-AI focuses on UK medical students preparing for finals and the MLA/CPSA. It advertises unlimited AI text and voice attempts without credits, with a displayed annual price of £39.99. That structure is easy to evaluate if you expect to practise frequently.

Its feedback includes a session score, a global impression, criterion-level marks and written comments on strengths and improvement areas. Alongside histories and communication, Quesmed advertises spoken data interpretation: explaining an ECG, imaging or blood results to an AI examiner. Those exchanges are relevant when you know the interpretation but need practice making your reasoning clear aloud.

The page currently lists 450-plus bank stations and 340-plus AI stations. Treat those as different figures when assessing coverage. A linked provider marking pilot describes four doctors and an AI marking ten practice transcripts; it helps explain the feedback approach and the scope of that exercise.

OSCE Revisions: tracks, companion notes and timed mocks

OSCE Revisions, part of the MedRevisions family, combines AI patients with revision notes, a study roadmap, analytics and mock circuits. Its live tracks include PLAB 2, UKMLA/CPSA, a custom Clinical OSCE format and AMC Clinical. NAC OSCE and MRCS are listed as forthcoming, so candidates for those exams should check availability before choosing a plan.

The voice workflow runs from candidate brief to consultation, transcript and graded feedback. Timed mocks add station transitions, reading periods and circuit results. This suits candidates who want their preparation organised around a full examination sequence.

Its UKMLA access page separates library access from AI attempts. Signup includes three voice and three text attempts, and email verification unlocks a 24-hour library trial. Paid plans are fixed-duration, one-off payments; AI-inclusive packages contain a specified pool of attempts, with top-ups available. A full AI circuit consumes attempts station by station. Choose the allowance around the number of consultations you intend to complete.

iatroX: turn rehearsal into understanding

iatroX is especially compelling when a mock reveals both a performance gap and a knowledge gap. You need another attempt, but you may also need to understand why an investigation matters, how two diagnoses differ or how to explain a management decision clearly.

The current iatroX simulation offering includes a first complete simulation with an account, followed by a transcript, evidence-linked feedback and Tutor follow-up. Available libraries are included in all-access, with voice and text where supported. Start with the simulation library and choose an available encounter relevant to the skill you are practising.

iatroX Tutor adds a useful next step. After answering a practice question, explore your reasoning or request a direct explanation. You can save an insight, edit a basic or cloze card and export it to Anki. A missed distinction can therefore become something you understand, rehearse and revisit.

The clinical-reference workflow provides another route into that learning: Ask iatroX supports focused referenced questions, while Brainstorm structures case reasoning. For exam preparation, use these to examine the reasoning behind a plan and follow the relevant source links. Then return to the patient-facing explanation and make it understandable without reciting a reference answer.

All-access brings paid question banks, Tutor, study planning and available simulations together. Current pricing is £29/month or £99/year in the UK; US$29/month or US$99/year elsewhere. To explore the learning experience, try the question samples.

Up to 10 new sample questions per day, shared across exams and subject to availability, with explanations and no account required.

One complete guided Tutor session is included with a verified free account; continued Tutor use is included in all-access.

Choose around the station you need to perform

For medical-school CPSA, use your school’s candidate information to match timing and station types. The GMC’s CPSA guidance accommodates different assessment designs. A platform’s default circuit is a starting configuration. Adjust practice to the assessment you will actually sit.

For PLAB 2, look for encounters that make you gather information, explain decisions and respond to the patient within the available time. For SCA, examine consultation-specific cases and feedback domains. For vivas, prioritise an examiner interaction that requires you to explain and defend reasoning.

Keep practical work in the schedule too. Describing an examination aloud rehearses sequence and explanation. Practising palpation, auscultation or a procedure requires suitable patients or equipment and an observer who can assess the technique. Use a platform to prepare that session and record what needs attention.

Finally, compare how useful your next study session becomes. Choose one available station, complete it under time, review the feedback and identify one change. Work through the underlying reasoning, then try a fresh encounter. For candidates who want those steps connected, iatroX offers a strong starting point: rehearsal, evidence, Tutor and ongoing learning within one platform.
