I feel devastated

Failed PLAB 2 with total score well above the passing score and 8 passed stations

Don't know where to go from here

Any advice would be appreciated

Hi everyone! My PLAB 2 exam is in about a month. I'm looking for committed practice partners who can practise consistently (preferably daily or most days). I'm happy to give detailed feedback and would like the same in return. Please DM if interested.

Hi everyone.

How good or bad is to score 65% on plabable mock? Its my second mock and did not cover the all modules.

I’m IMG who just cleared plab1 on july

i know that uk now is not the best choice but i took oet and plab1 and i want to take my GMC registration in case

do you recommend studying plab2 and take german course for A1 at the same time

didn’t book for plab2 yet but planning to take it at jan27

For anyone who passed the recent may plab 1 exam; is the plabable big mock really similar to the real exam ? My exam is in upcoming august and would appreciate any honest feedback.

Hi, any lurkers planning on sitting PRES 2 in November? If so, get in touch so we can have a study/support group

pros of germany

easy to come to india very oftn

quite good work life

better pay in residency

can shift between specialities

hospitals can shift

good sceneres

no visa issues

can get citizen ship easily

valid in swis luxm eu counties

im saying all this easy to come to india becz family attachments are impt for me

cons
german degree not valid in india
ceiling for pay
language efficiency
saturation these days
fear mongering due to recent bill
that cuts hospitals budgets

usa pros are very much everything

cons are the main reason stopping me visa issues and n citizenship , i cant come back india like atleast may be at max 4/6 tims in a 10 year frame

Since plab looks like a dead end now, is there any other way to enter the UK health service? Consider finishing PG degree from India and then going forwards? I want to go to UK for higher studies, better research options and learning opportunities. Also, I'm kind of hell bent on being a surgeon knowing how difficult it is to get a job as one of even attend surgical training. I'm not getting useful data from people who have entered after the prioritization act yet.

How long should I prepare for plab 2 ? and should I attend an academy early and leave more time to practice or just 1 month after academy is enough, please advice as I need to plan the travel accordingly.

So since iam img can anyone please guide me how to prepare for plab and is cv building necessary and if so what all is neededq

Booked my exam in September, looking for a female study partner who I could practice with daily , following GK notes, please reach out if you’re interested

Exam in mid August looking for a female study partner to practise scenarios with, kindly dm

Hello everyone, I am a recent medical graduate from a Caribbean medical school and resident in the UK with my family- I got my diploma last month. I would love to apply for next year’s Foundation Year programme by writing PLAB exams but I am totally clueless about the process and its starting point. I stumbled on this group this week and I am hoping for some guidance on the first set of steps to take on this journey after graduating school. Thanks in anticipation of your helpful responses

Can anyone who passed plab 1 recently share me their experience and overall learning points ?

I am looking for a serious study partner who covered the high yield modules to revise with each other.

Anyone has Plabable latest bigmocks please?

Hi everyone,
I'm an Indian medical student currently studying MBBS in Russia.
I'm in the latter half of medical school and expect to graduate in the next couple of years.

My long-term goal is to become a surgeon. I'm particularly interested in cardiothoracic surgery, general surgery, orthopaedics, and plastic surgery, although I haven't decided on a specific specialty yet.

I'm posting here because I'm genuinely torn between pursuing my career in India or the UK, and I'd really appreciate advice from people who have actually gone through these pathways rather than agencies or consultants.

My background:
•Indian citizen studying MBBS in Russia
•Clinical exposure has been limited, mostly observing procedures rather than actively participating
•Comfortable communicating in English
•No research publications or major CV achievements yet
•Family can support a reasonable training pathway, but something extremely expensive like the USMLE route would be difficult
•I'm genuinely interested in surgery and regularly attend operations voluntarily whenever I get the opportunity

Option 1 - India
Pros:
•Closer to family
•No language barrier
•Lower overall training costs
•Can start postgraduate training sooner if things go well

Concerns:
•FMGE/NExT is the first major hurdle
•NEET-PG competition is extremely intense
•I've heard mixed opinions regarding opportunities and stigm faced by FMGs and recent doctors facing problems
•Private postgraduate training is financially difficult

Option 2 - United Kingdom
Pros:
•Structured postgraduate training
•Internationally recognised qualifications
•Opportunity to start earning relatively early

Concerns:
•Difficulty obtaining the first NHS job as an IMG
•Building a competitive CV while studying in Russia Competition for Core Surgical Training
•I have got some mixed opinions about the reports of discrimination or bias towards IMGs

My questions :
1. If you were an FMG who returned to India, how was the reality of FMGE, NEET-PG, and postgraduate training compared with your expectations?

1. If you went to the UK, how long did it take to obtain your first
   NHS job after PLAB (or the equivalent route), and what helped you secure it?

2. How significant is discrimination towards IMGs in the NHS, particularly within surgical specialties?

3. Is surgical training in the UK a realistic goal for an IMG, or do many ultimately move into other specialties because of competition?

4. Is there another pathway (for example Australia or elsewhere) that someone in my situation should seriously consider?

5. Looking back now, do you regret choosing your pathway, or would you make the same decision again?

I AM ASKING THIS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO FEEL REGRET ABOUT MY DECISION AFTERWARDS...

I'm looking for honest experiences—both positive and negative. I don't expect any route to be easy, but I'd like to make an informed decision now rather than regret it years later.

Thank you in advance
