PLAB 2 Results 2025: Release Dates, How to Check Scores, and What to Do Next You’ve finished PLAB 2. The OSCE stations, the pressure, the months of preparation, it’s all behind you. Now there’s only one thing on your mind: When are the results coming out? Academically Global Pvt ltd. For many international doctors, this wait can feel longer than the preparation itself. We will walk you through what to expect in the days ahead — how long it takes to get your result, where to find it, and what your next step should be, no matter the outcome. When Are PLAB 2 Results Released? There’s no exact date when the GMC releases PLAB 2 results. Most candidates get their outcome roughly three to four weeks after the test. Some get it a little earlier; others a bit later. If there’s going to be a delay, you’ll get an email letting you know. A small but important point: the day you sat your exam is considered your official “pass date,” not the day you receive your result. This is the date the GMC uses for registration deadlines and eligibility checks. How Will You Know the Result Is Out? You won’t get your result in the email, just instructions on how to log into your account. That’s where you’ll find the outcome. Once you’re logged into GMC Online, go to the ‘My Tests’ section. Your result will be right there. You don’t need to download anything. It will stay visible in your account, even after you register. Academically Global Pvt Ltd.

What If You’ve Passed? Passing PLAB 2 means you can now apply for GMC registration. To apply, log in to your GMC Online account. You’ll fill in a form, upload documents, and pay the registration fee. Some of the documents you might need include: ● Your primary medical qualification ● Proof of internship ● Passport or ID ● IELTS/OET scorecard (if required) ● Certificate of good standing Academically Global Pvt ltd. The GMC will review your application and let you know once you’re officially added to the medical register. Can PLAB 2 Count Toward English Language Proof? It can — but only in specific situations. If your IELTS or OET scores are close to expiring, the GMC might accept your PLAB 2 pass instead. But two conditions must be met: 1. You apply for registration within three months of passing PLAB 2 2. Your IELTS (minimum 7.5 overall, 7 in each) or OET (B in all sub-tests) is less than three years old If both apply to you, the GMC usually won’t ask for anything more. You don’t have to send another certificate. They’ll consider your PLAB 2 performance as proof that you’ve maintained your English skills. Academically Global Pvt Ltd.

What If You Didn’t Pass? Not everyone clears PLAB 2 on their first go. It’s frustrating, but it’s not the end. You’re allowed to sit the exam up to four times. If you’ve already used those four chances, you can request a fifth attempt, but only if you’ve completed at least twelve months of further clinical training. You’ll need to provide evidence of this when applying. Academically Global Pvt ltd. The GMC reviews fifth-attempt requests carefully. You’ll be asked to explain what additional learning you’ve done and how you’re better prepared now. Can You Ask for a Recheck? No, rechecking or remarking isn’t available for PLAB 2. The GMC has stopped offering this option. Their current system is considered consistent and reliable after internal reviews. However, if you believe something went wrong during your exam, you’re allowed to file a formal appeal. There’s a process for that on the GMC website, and you’ll need to follow it closely. Welcome to UK Practice Workshop Once you’ve been added to the register, the GMC offers something called the Welcome to UK Practice workshop. It’s free, and it’s designed to help new doctors understand what working in the UK is really like. You’ll learn about patient expectations, ethical decisions, communication, and your professional duties. It’s also a great way to meet other doctors who’ve just started their UK journey. You can sign up for a session through your GMC Online account. Academically Global Pvt Ltd.
