Hi Winny,
For PG studies, you must either take USMLE or other country specific medical council exams. You will also need the same to get a license to practice. USMLE is basically required for US. For other countries, it will be different.

USMLE is quite a clinical multi-subject or multi-topic based exam. You need to focus on more accurate diagnosis and treatment. Advantage is that they don't have non merit based reservations like here in India. Almost all accept that difficulty level is high due to high competition among many applicants. Added to fact that you need strong finances and references too, in order to study or get admitted in an US Medical Institution for speciality. No one actually comments on chances as there has been cases where students fared better in USMLE compared to NEET PG in spite of everyone saying former is difficult.

United Kingdom and United States are quite good for MBBS, both have good professional output to the Society and a good professional has enough knowledge for these exams, who think it to be easier to crack irrespective of institution of study.

You need to complete your MBBS degree. USMLE's are the first step to becoming a doctor in the US. Not only must you pass these tests, but you should be scoring high if you want to compete with US grads and other Foreign Medical Graduates.

Hi,
To pursue your PG and practice further, you as an international student must take country specific licensing exam. Know the differences, USMLE is meant for US and Canada whereas PLAB is mainly for European nations. Similarly countries like Australia, New Zealand etc. also have their own exams.
