M�� Clinical

To apply for M�� Clinical, you need a confirmed pass result in all three M�� theory exams.

The pass mark for M�� Clinical is set using a modified Angoff standard setting process. All Angoff panel members are fully trained in the level of the exam, changes to exam stations and marking domains, the concept of the minimally competent candidate and in the Angoff process itself. During the process, subject matter experts (SMEs) are able to discuss their scoring with their colleagues (a key part of the Angoff method). Judgments made by SMEs are averaged to determine the final pass mark, thereby setting the standard for determining a competent candidate.

The minimum pass mark for the M�� Clinical (face to face exam format) is 62 out of the 82 available marks, a pass mark of 75.6%. All UK and overseas face-to-face M�� Clinical centres are assessed to this pass mark standard.

We routinely analyse the performance of exam candidates. Statistical evidence suggests that a candidate who has a poor performance on the M�� Clinical, and then re-attempts soon after, will perform lower than the expected standard. The �� Examinations Board agreed to re-instate a deferment mark for this exam as of 2023.

A deferment mark is a mark of 52 or below. If you score 52 or below, from 2023 onwards, this will result in an automatic deferment for the next diet. This will mean that candidates receiving a deferment score must not apply for the next diet of exams. For example, if you were to receive a deferment score of 52 or below for an M�� Clinical exam sat in 2023.1 diet then you would not be eligible to sit in 2023.2 diet and could reapply to sit in 2023.3 diet.

We strongly advise that you only apply to take or re-attempt M�� Clinical when you feel ready. You can take time to consider your feedback and get more experience. It may be helpful to discuss your results feedback with your educational supervisor or another senior colleague (sponsor) before deciding on when to apply for your next attempt. Please refer to the M�� Clinical How to apply webpage for related information regarding sponsors.

For information about complaints and feedback for M�� Clinical, see the M��/DCH regulations and rules

DCH Clinical

The pass mark is set using a modified Angoff standard setting process. Currently the DCH Clinical is delivered online, and the impact of this delivery is accounted for.

The DCH Clinical pass mark is currently set at 160/192.

The pass mark for the face-to-face format of DCH Clinical is 120/144.

For information about complaints and feedback for DCH Clinical, see the M��/DCH regulations and rules
