Prepare for exam success with Clinical Skills Pro

After failing my first attempt, I have found Clinical Skills Pro PLAB 2 Course and passed on my second attempt in October 2022. I wish i had found before. 

There are about 150 videos which covers all of the scenarios. The course has very high quality content and all the consultations are so natural. It helped me a lot about my PLAB 2 practice.
I highly recommend this course to who are preparing for PLAB 2.”
