Four free tools: a pathway navigator that shows which exams apply to your profession and route, a fee calculator, an exam countdown and a study planner. They give estimates. Always confirm fees and eligibility with the regulator.
Pathway navigator
Choose your profession, where you trained and where you want to register. The navigator lists the exams and steps on that route, such as PLAB 1 and PLAB 2 for a doctor moving to the UK, or the NMC CBT and OSCE for a nurse. Each step links to the regulator's own page.
Fee calculator
Add up the exam fees, language test, application and registration costs for a route. Where the regulator publishes a fee we use it and show the date we checked. Where it does not, or the fee depends on your country, the tool asks you to enter it. Fees change, so treat the total as a planning figure.
Exam countdown
Enter your exam date. The countdown shows the weeks left and how many questions per day would take you through a full bank, with time reserved for mocks in the final fortnight.
Study planner
Tell the planner your exam, exam date, hours per week and starting level. It suggests a pass length and a weekly plan across the exam's domains, weighted by how heavily each is tested. Pro and Premium passes then adjust the plan to your results.

Frequently asked questions
Are the tools free?
Yes. You do not need a pass to use the navigator, fee calculator, countdown or study planner.
Are the fees in the calculator exact?
They are planning figures. Where a regulator publishes a fee we use it and show when it was checked. Fees change, so confirm the amount on the regulator's page before you pay.
Does the navigator tell me if I am eligible?
No. It shows the usual route and links to the regulator. Eligibility is the regulator's decision.
How does the study planner choose a pass length?
It compares your exam date and weekly hours with the size and domains of the exam's bank and suggests 1, 3 or 6 months.
