Requirements
IELTS comprises of four testing areas, also called “bands”, as mentioned below:
- Reading
- Writing
- Speaking
- Listening
Each band or testing area has a maximum score of 9.
The passing eligibility criteria for appearing in PLAB 1 or MRCP (a prerequisite for GMC Registration) is that you must score a minimum overall band of 7.0 in each of the four areas (reading, writing, speaking and listening). And achieve an overall score of at least 7.5 band.
But before that we jump to the free download of IELTS study material, here are a few things which you must remember:
- You have to take the academic version of IELTS, not the general IELTS (a.k.a Normal IELTS )
- You should take the IELTS for UK Visas and Immigration (IELTS for UKVI). This way, you will not need to repeat IELTS test when you’ll apply for the U.K immigration.
- IELTS pass test scores are valid/acceptable if less than 2 years old.
- Even if a candidate has provisional registration with GMC, their English language proficiency can be assessed again when applying for full registration.
- By studying for IELTS, you will not (significantly) improve your English language skills. Studying for IELTS will only prepare you for the exam meaning that you will build on your existing knowledge.
