How long are the exam scores valid for the medical entrance exams like PLAB and USMLE in UK?

PLAB scores do not have a set expiration period, but it's best to complete your GMC (General Medical Council) registration soon after passing to ensure your scores remain valid.

USMLE scores also do not expire. However, for ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates) certification, you must complete all three USMLE steps within seven years. If you exceed this window, you may need to retake earlier steps to remain eligible.

Plan your exam timing carefully, especially if you are considering future study or practice in the UK or US.
