Marking System for Part 1 and Part 2 Written Examination

An “Equating method” is used for calculating a candidate’s overall score. This procedure is statistically based on item response theory and utilized to guarantee equivalent outcomes for candidates in the test for equivalent performance on various diets.

All candidates are given an “overall scaled score” instead of an overall percentage score. The grade is calculated based on the number of questions answered correctly in the two test papers of the exam and takes into account the relative difficulty of the exam.

Note:

• For every correct response, a +1 mark is awarded.
• There is no negative marking in the MRCP written exam.
• If a candidate opts for more than one correct response or the answer is not correctly marked, then the marks awarded to the candidate are zero.
