@Naseer Khan for the swapping does it mean we won’t have to pay any extra money for the swap. Or do we need to pay and then receive a refund later
For swapping you will have to cancel your exam and book another exam. Having to pay anything or not depends on when you are cancelling your exam, as I have mentioned in my post.
Hi! If i cancel my exam over 83 days before it, will i get full refund immediately? TIA!
Refund takes 7-10 working days.
Hi, I am struggling to find someone to swap with. I have searched facebook and google, can you suggest anywhere else?
Please check Facebook group, “PLAB 2 and GMC Registration”; there’s a relevant file in the files section just for this.
sir
i want to apply for refund for plab 1 due to visa refusal but my account from which plab 1 money was deducted is not functional anymore. so may i provide them any other account number where money can be transferred??
Hello Dr. Naseer,
I just booked my plab 1 exam for 1 november 2018.I carefully chose Karachi as the test location but my booking confirmation lists Islamabad as my test venue.I would like to give my exam in karachi.
Im still around 85 days away from the exam.Now, should i cancel the exam or talk to GMC to change my venue? i have already emailed them regarding this issue.
please help.
Thanks!
Contact GMC.
Hello i booked wrong plab date by mistake then cancelled it immediately..could u tell me when will I get my fee refunded? I paid from debit card.
It would be best to ask the GMC about this.
Hi Dr Nasser
If I want to cancel my PLAB exam for any other reason, will that count towards the total 4 attempts? Thank you
Not as far as I’m aware. But it might be best to check with the GMC.
