The cost of ORE should be met by candidates through the examination fees which are set out in GDC Regulations. To date the GDC has not been able to amend the fees to reflect the increasing cost of delivering the examination; this has resulted in the examination being run at a loss which means registrants are subsidising the provision of the ORE. Essentially this means that the cost of ORE to students in the future will be significantly higher than what it is currently.

Cost of OR Exam Part 1

The current cost to take the Overseas Registration Examination Part 1 (the clinical knowledge test) fee is £806 per attempt.

Cost of OR Exam Part 2

Part 2 of the ORE Exam, is a practical, OSCE-based exam. Part 2 can only be taken four times and the fee has recently increased from £2250 to £2929 (per attempt). All fees paid to the GDC are nonrefundable, however, all our courses on this website are guaranteed, meaning if you fail the exam, we will refund you your money.
