| IELTS certificate validation (asked by a colleague in June,2015). Please ask the GMC yourself too if there’s any confusion as the rules and regulations keep changing |
These are the approved UKVI IELTS test centers: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-applying-for-uk-visa-approved-english-language-tests
Make sure your test center is in the list
Please confirm with GMC (http://www.gmc-uk.org/about/contactus/contact_2_4.asp) to see if they accept UKVI academic IELTS for PLAB as well

I gave my ACADEMIC UKVI IELTS in October, 2015 in Manchester , UK. I got 8.0 plus in all modules but got a 6.5 in writing.
Similarly a colleague also gave her UKVI IELTS and got a low score in her writing.
we both had 7.5 plus in the writing module of our regular academic IELTS.
Please be careful if you plan to give UKVI IELTS to cover both GMC (A score of at least 7.0 in each of the four areas tested . And an overall score of at least 7.5 ) and UKVI requirements ( 4.0 overall, and in each of the four skills)
