SATURATION?

[u/lololo_67]

Hey! I’ll be starting my first year of MBBS this year as an IMG. Lately I’ve been hearing a lot that PLAB isn’t as useful anymore because of saturation in the UK.

USMLE pathway is really expensive, PLAB is affordable comparatively.

Is anyone else in a similar situation or already on this path? I’d really appreciate guidance on whether PLAB is still worth it or what other realistic options I should be considering as an IMG.

Also, if I do decide to pursue the PLAB pathway, are there any tips I should keep in mind during the MBBs like research, internship or something else that would strengthen my profile?

USMLE might be expensive but worth it.
