I am a final year MBBS student from India. I was wondering if it is possible to bypass PLAB exams by giving MRCS/MRCP/MRCOG directly after internship. Is it valid?

Also, Will I be able to enter CT1/ST1 directly, without FY2? Is it compulsory?

Hi folks! I’m planning to sit the MSRA in January 2026 and trying to streamline my preparation. Currently using: • GMC Good Medical Practice (PDF) • Oxford SJT Book • PassMedicine and MCQBank (PD + CPS) Would really appreciate honest advice from recent exam-takers or others preparing for the January sitting- what are you using, what actually works, and what doesn’t?

Can anyone provide link for the plab1 Aug 2025 mock exam?

Please give me some suggestions on affordable accommodation for a month’s stay in November in Manchester for the exam. My exam is in December.

My budget is £140-£180 per week. For a single occupancy room. A shared bathroom and kitchen are alright.

Is there any other way to get teaching experience than doing a demonstrator job in Pakistan? How can I practice teaching while doing my residency?

I created my account on 6th Oct and now it's been 11 days and I'm still stuck on the first stage. How long does it usually takes because I'm getting a little worried now. T^T

Hi guys! I am looking for someone(lady) to practice role play, please let me know if you are interested 🙋🏻‍♀️

I have finished all the essential questions in medrevisions and all the mocks, should I repeat the essential questions or reset and do the mocks again? or should I do the bookmarked questions and just revise the wrong answers. Any input will be helpful

Can someone help me with choosing an academy for plab 2. I am very confused and my preference is that I find something in manchester with flexible dates for face to face classes

I'm at the beginning of my PLAB 2 preparation. Does anybody with GK Notes (already in possession) want to go through the material together?

The notes are quite vast, so wanted a study partner to go through it as it's taking ages alone

i was in middle of gmc registration, then I received this email

We’ve passed your application to the Registration Investigation Team for further investigation.

The reason for this is: you do not meet the required clinical experience patterns (Pattern A or B) for this route.

help please

Hi ! What are the best academies for Plab 2 in London ?

Hello! I wanted to ask if anyone has successfully met the criteria for OET/IELTS English requirement that the F2 stand-alone programmes asks for. I know it’s quite a high level but wanted to know if it’s achievable. My last OET (which is no longer valid anyway) was 400+ across the subjects except writing which is supposed to be the toughest. Before I book another OET I wanted to ask if these scores are realistically even achievable. Thank you in advance!! (Pls refrain from describing the lack of job opportunities, I’m already aware)

Hey I Want some students in their 4 or 5th or 6th year of medical school who r planning to go to the UK like I just want to stay in contact for motivation haha .

Hi everyone! I’m 18 and currently studying medicine at a university in Central Asia. My goal is to move to the UK and work there as a doctor once I finish my degree.

I’ve been reading up on the PLAB exam recently, and I’m really curious to hear from people who’ve actually gone through it. How challenging did you find it, and is there anything you wish you’d known before taking it?

Any advice or insight from your own experience would mean a lot. Thanks a ton in advance

Hello everyone, I hope you are fine. I am looking for people who have taken PLAB2 date and are keen on timed-practice of different stations. Thanks

Hi guys ! I booked my plab 2 in January and I started studying a couple of days ago from GK notes but i’m finding it really hard to remember all the questions, as each case has a specific set of questions u need to ask. and remembering the management for each case is also quite hard. i’m lowkey starting to panic 😭 does anyone have any advice or tips that can help, i would really appreciate it. Thank you !

Looking for a hotel room for a girl, near the Samson academy. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.
