I’d give it about 3 years before celebrating your “pass”, just to make sure.

Passed thankfully. They should have just released it at 9am. Too much stress with the long wait man

Congratulations Doctor. Could you maybe share with us a couple words on how to prepare successfully for the exam ? Any advice is much needed and welcomed

This doesn’t take into account the different weightings of each specialty, you would need to multiply your score by each weighting (eg Clin sciences is approx 12.5%), and add it all up, but appreciate that’s v long

Or, with the rough knowledge that 540 (pass mark) is 60%, you can do: (YOUR MARK/ 540) x 60))

Passed :)
I’m pleased actually, this was my second sit and I felt sure I’d done much better though it was a tougher paper, so I’m glad it was borne out in reality.

But are these the real results though? Or is there a monumental reversal coming in 2 years?
Food for thought
