Because reading isn’t studying. Retrieval is.
Recallivo turns any PLAB textbook — OHCM, Kumar & Clark, Macleod’s — into a personalized question bank in 60 seconds. SBA MCQs, flashcards, fill-in-the-blank. Built-in spaced repetition. Your book. Your gaps. Your schedule.
50 questions free every month. Pro starts at $12/month.
THE PROBLEM
You’ve worked through OHCM. You know the management algorithms. You can recite the criteria for half the conditions in the book.
Then you sit a PassMedicine mock — and the GMC-style phrasing trips you up on questions you should know cold.
It’s not that you didn’t revise hard enough. It’s that your brain stores information differently than it retrieves it. Passive reading creates recognition memory. PLAB tests retrieval memory. They are not the same thing.
The candidates who pass PLAB 1 first time aren’t reading more. They’re testing themselves more — on their own material, at the right intervals, before they forget. That’s active recall + spaced repetition.
HOW IT WORKS
TEXTBOOK EXAMPLES
COMPARISON
PassMedicine is excellent — we’re not here to replace it. But PassMedicine tests you on its questions, not the gaps in your understanding of your material. Recallivo fills the gap between learning and drilling.
STUDENT REVIEWS
I uploaded the cardiovascular chapter from Kumar & Clark and had 45 questions in under a minute. The GMC-style phrasing was exactly what I needed — not just definition recall but clinical reasoning.
I'd been using PassMedicine for months but still felt shaky on topics I'd read twice. Recallivo let me generate questions from OHCM chapters specifically — it filled the gaps PassMedicine couldn't.
Building Anki cards was eating my evenings. Switched to Recallivo and I'm spending that time actually answering questions instead of formatting flashcards.
FAQ
Yes. The free plan gives you 50 questions per month with no credit card required. Pro International is $12/month and includes unlimited question generation, all question types, and the full spaced repetition scheduler.
Yes. Any PDF works — upload the full book or a single chapter. Recallivo generates PLAB-style questions from exactly the content you upload.
PassMedicine is a fixed question bank. Recallivo generates questions from your specific textbook — so the questions reflect exactly what you've been studying. They're complementary: Recallivo for mastering your material, PassMedicine for exam simulation.
Recallivo generates PLAB-style SBA MCQs with explanations, flashcards, fill-in-the-blank, and true/false questions. All four formats are generated from a single upload.
Recallivo tracks which questions you answered correctly and which you struggled with. It schedules each concept for review at the optimal interval before you'd naturally forget it — based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. You don't manage the schedule. You just answer questions when Recallivo prompts you.
Yes. For PLAB 2 stations, upload Macleod's, your OSCE notes, or any PDF resource. Recallivo generates questions that test clinical reasoning — the same thinking PLAB 2 requires.
Anki is powerful but requires you to manually create every flashcard — which takes 4-5 hours per chapter. Recallivo generates all question types automatically from your PDF in under 60 seconds.
Yes. Your uploaded documents are private to your account and are not shared with other users or used for training without your consent.
You have the books. You have the dedication. The one thing between you and a PLAB pass is retrieval — and retrieval is a skill you build by practising it, repeatedly, on your own material, at the right intervals.
The candidates who pass PLAB first time aren’t reading more. They test themselves more.
