Book your PLAB 2 exam as soon as you get your results for PLAB 1; slots tend to get full
very quickly. Almost no available dates 1 day after the results of PLAB 1 are released. Ideally,
the total time from start of review class to your PLAB 2 exam is 6 weeks.
Training applications are due every year in Nov (British citizens) and March (others). Ideally,
prior to this date it would be good to have 3 months working experience. So to catch the 2019
applications PLAB 2 should be done by August at the latest to give enough time for results, job
hunting, VISA processing, and moving.
I took Hamed / Common Stations for my review center. Hamed review for PLAB 2 is
approximately 15 days of basic stations + 3 rest days + 3 days additional stations for a total of
21 days / 3 weeks. Since GMC is adding new stations constantly, this may increase.
Hamed starting dates: April 8, May 1, May 24, June 16 (See link below for updates). I
recommend 3 weeks of self study. This may be more or less depending on your own level of
confidence.
