Composition

Oral knowledge examination with 8 questions/scenarios, sat across two 30-minute interviews with 1 hour preparation time and 3 examiners per panel.

Standard setting approach

Examiners are calibrated to a set framework for each scenario. To pass, a candidate must score 60 or above and pass 6 or more questions; borderline cases (6–7 questions passed, score 58–59) go to a moderation meeting for final determination.
