MedMocks brings written exam practice, timed papers and a source-linked revision plan into one exam-specific pass. Here is what the offer includes and how to decide whether it fits your preparation.
MedMocks is a revision platform for PLAB 1, MRCPsych Paper A and Paper B, and MRCP Part 1. Its central idea is practical: answer questions, identify the topics that need attention, read the relevant source and return to the material on a revision schedule. The service runs in a browser and sells fixed-duration passes with a single payment.
This iatroX guide reviews the public MedMocks offer and prices checked on 5 November 2026. The useful buying decision is how closely its exam coverage, mock format and revision workflow match the work you need to do.
MedMocks and MedMock are different platforms
The spelling matters. MedMocks.com, with an “s”, provides written question banks and timed mock papers. Its About page identifies the operator as Certiva (Pty) Ltd, a South African company, and says a practising psychiatry registrar built the platform.
MedMock.com, without the “s”, is a separate service offering AI practice for spoken clinical exams and interviews. A search for one can easily surface the other, but their published exam coverage, pricing and practice formats are different. Check the domain before comparing plans.
Which exams does MedMocks cover?
MedMocks currently lists four banks organised into three passes. The exam directory separates PLAB 1, the two MRCPsych written papers and MRCP Part 1.
| Pass | Written practice included | Timed mocks included |
|---|---|---|
| PLAB 1 | Questions across the MLA areas, with worked explanations and sources | Two papers, each 180 questions in three hours |
| MRCPsych Paper A and B | Both written-paper banks, including single-best-answer and extended-matching questions | Two mocks for each paper, each 150 questions in three hours |
| MRCP Part 1 | Questions across the blueprint specialties, clinical sciences and statistics | Two papers, each 100 questions in three hours |
For MRCP Part 1, each included mock is the length of one paper; the two together provide a 200-question rehearsal. That matters when allocating revision time. For MRCPsych, one pass opens both Paper A and Paper B for its whole duration, which can suit a trainee moving between the written exams.
How the revision tools work
The PLAB 1 product page describes a tracker that highlights topics scoring below 60% and directs the learner to the relevant source. Explanations name the guideline, guidance document or textbook section behind an answer. This gives a missed question a concrete follow-up: a defined reading task followed by another attempt.
The source mix follows the exam. PLAB 1 uses UK clinical guidance and professional sources; MRCPsych draws on psychiatry textbooks, NICE and mental-health law; MRCP Part 1 names Kumar and Clark, clinical-science texts and specialty guidance among its references.
According to the study-tools FAQ, incorrect answers return after ten minutes, then one, three and seven days, until answered correctly on three separate days. Questions answered correctly first time do not enter that sequence. A week-by-week study plan also uses the learner’s answers to organise work towards the sitting.
The readiness score appears after 50 questions across three topics. It combines coverage, accuracy, consistency and mock performance. MedMocks explicitly describes it as a study guide. Use the score to choose what needs work, while tracking whether you can explain the answer and perform on fresh questions.
MedMocks pricing and free access
These are the advertised MedMocks pass prices checked on 5 November 2026:
| Access period | PLAB 1 | MRCPsych Paper A + B | MRCP Part 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| One month | — | £29 | £29 |
| Three months | £29 | £39 | £39 |
| Six months | £49 | £59 | £59 |
| Twelve months | £69 | £89 | £89 |
Every duration includes the same features for its exam. The choice buys more time, rather than a higher feature tier. New passes are paid once through Lemon Squeezy and do not renew automatically. Checkout displays the final price including any applicable local tax; buying more time for an active exam adds it to the existing pass.
You can try five questions per exam without an account or card. A free account then opens a timed 20-question mini mock with weak-topic feedback. That is a useful sequence for evaluating whether the explanations and topic feedback suit you before choosing an access period.
The published refund policy allows cancellation within 14 days if paid question-bank use has not started. Free samples and the free mini mock do not count as starting paid use.
A worked study routine around shifts
Consider a PLAB 1 candidate with six weeks remaining who repeatedly loses marks in cardiovascular questions. A useful MedMocks routine would make each session produce something specific:
- Establish the gap. Start with the free mini mock or a timed paper, then inspect the topic breakdown. Separate unfamiliar knowledge from questions where two options seemed equally plausible.
- Read with a question in mind. Pick the weakest relevant topic and open the source named in an explanation. Write one sentence stating the detail that changes the answer.
- Test recall. Close the explanation and explain why the correct option fits and why the nearest alternative fails. Use the scheduled revision queue when the question returns.
- Check transfer. Try further questions in the topic and record whether the same reasoning works in a different scenario. A remembered answer and a reusable distinction are different learning achievements.
- Rehearse the sitting. Reserve an uninterrupted three-hour block for a full PLAB 1 mock. Review both subject knowledge and pacing after submission, when MedMocks releases the explanations and topic feedback.
A 20-minute session can cover a narrow gap; the timed paper serves another purpose. Planning both prevents a study schedule from becoming a long run of comfortable, untimed questions.
Where iatroX offers a connected alternative
MedMocks will appeal to candidates who want a defined pass for one written-exam pathway, clear source references and a tracker that chooses the next topic. iatroX is worth considering when you want the question, the reasoning conversation and the next learning activity connected across a broader platform.
With iatroX Tutor, you first answer a question, then discuss the reasoning beside that item. Ask for guided questioning or a direct explanation, compare the closest alternatives, and keep the distinction as an editable learning card. That makes it possible to turn a recurring mistake into a focused conversation before returning to practice.
iatroX’s all-access plan brings paid banks, Tutor, timed practice, study planning, available clinical simulations and CPD together. Simulations offer voice or text where supported, followed by a transcript, evidence-linked feedback and Tutor follow-up. Alongside learning, Ask iatroX provides referenced clinical answers, connecting exam study with questions encountered in practice.
Current iatroX pricing is £29/month or £99/year in the UK; US$29/month or US$99/year elsewhere. Its full MRCP Part 1 bank is available without a subscription. To explore the question workflow, try the iatroX 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.
Compare the learning task you complete: can you identify a weak topic, understand the decisive distinction and apply it in another question? That gives the trial a clearer purpose than comparing dashboard appearance alone.
Frequently asked questions
Is MedMocks the same as MedMock? No. MedMocks.com supplies the written banks reviewed here. MedMock.com is the separate spoken clinical-exam and interview practice service.
Does one MedMocks MRCPsych pass cover both papers? Yes. The MRCPsych pass includes Paper A and Paper B for the chosen access period, with two timed mocks per paper.
Is MedMocks a subscription? Current new purchases are single-payment passes without automatic renewal. The terms separately acknowledge legacy PLAB 1 subscriptions held by some earlier customers.
Is it an official exam resource? MedMocks describes its material as independent, with original questions. Its exam pages state that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the relevant examining bodies.
How should I choose an access period? Work backwards from the sitting: allow time for a baseline, focused revision, scheduled returns and timed papers. Try the free material first, then choose the period that covers that plan. For broader connected learning, explore iatroX Tutor and the current all-access options.
