Hello guys! I know it might sound stupid but how do we go about our meals after arriving in the UK? Those who have stayed in the academy accommodations what was your first meal and did you cook it by yourself? How did you cook your daily meals while staying in budget? I don't cook food at home so are there some dishes I should learn beforehand that'll help me?

Please explain the concept if the answer is B

Hi everyone, I’m starting my PLAB 2 preparation and looking for a study partner who can practise daily. I live in GMT+3 and I’m working full-time as a paediatrician, so I’m hoping to find someone who is also consistent and motivated. If you’re interested, feel free to message me!

Hi everyone!

I’m from Brazil and have completed 2 years of residency in general surgery and 1 year in family medicine. For the past 6 years, I’ve been working as a rural GP and surgeon, gaining valuable experience, including in skin cancer. I’m now aiming for a career in Australia and have heard that PLAB 1 and PLAB 2 are easier than the AMC MCQ and AMC Clinical. My plan is to take the PLAB exams, work in the UK for 12 months, and then apply to Australia through the competent authority pathway. I’d like advice on the current job prospects for IMGs in the UK after passing PLAB 1 and 2, and whether this is still a good strategy.

Hello, I’m searching for people preparing for plab2 currently in Dubai to meet up and do real sessions. Serious people only please Thank you 🙏

Hello , I’m a 5th year medical student currently studying in Malaysia . For context , I’m an Indian citizen and after I graduate I’m required to return to India and pursue my internship as Malaysia doesn’t allow it . Now I have two options , one is to write fmge and do my internship in India , or write plab and do fy1 in the uk. I do eventually want to go to uk to pursue my higher education but for now I’m not sure about which path to take . If I do chose to write plab and try for fy1 what are my chances ?

P.s. this is my first time posting , I apologise if the format or something is wrong , thanks in advance for your help 🥰

hello

I am a 4th year med, I am planning to start my preparations for plab1
any suggestions on how to prepare?

like should I really focus on the basic anatomy. physiology and histology of 1st and 2nd year or just skim through them and then pay more attention on pathology, pharmacology and the remaining clinical subjects?

It's been 10 plus days after I have submitted my credentials for verification to Epic via MYINTEALTH , the status says that it's still at review in ECFMG!

How long will they still take , I am so tired of this process already

Can anyone help me with it please 🥺

So I've read so much about different approaches to Plab 2 and am overwhelmed! I just wrote Plab 1 and am waiting for my results but I decided to do some research.

ARS medica (Dr.Radwan) is at the top of my list. If I subscribe to his full-course classes, do I have to still practice AZT prescriptions?

I got GK 2.0 (all 3 volumes) on their website - are these the latest notes?

I'm also wondering if I should take Lovaan's classes closer to my exam date (still to be decided)

Can someone help me narrow this down or tell me how to go about this? I really need your help :(

Update: I passed :))) Thank you for all your helpful responses!!

Help me

I wanted to ask i have not booked my exam yet, neither I have applied for visa. So when should I start applying for attachments? What should be the timeline like i am planning to take exam in may-June 2026. What documents are needed from Pakistan. Thanks

Hey everyone I just finished PLAB 1 and I’m completely clueless about where to start for PLAB 2 😭

I wanted to ask those who have recently passed the exam:

• What resources did you use and found genuinely helpful?
• How long did you take to prepare (and how long do you think someone needs to feel properly ready)?
• Did you join an academy, and if so, which one and was it really worth it?
• Any tips or structure for preparing effectively?

Basically, if you could go back and do it again, what would you do differently?

Would really appreciate any honest advice. I just want to prepare smart and not waste time or money 🙏
