Having listened to the feedback from trainee representative and trainers, the Faculty and examiners are taking a number of additional actions, including the following:
Further exam resources are being made available on the web site to support candidates in their exam preparation, including more sample questions and a detailed exam syllabus. A working group has been set up oversee this.
The information available for candidate feedback interviews is being improved
All OSCE questions are being re-Angoffed to ensure the Angoff score remains up to date
All OSCE questions are being reviewed before their next use
The Chair of examiners report normally contains a list of topics which, in the opinion of the examiners, were not answered well by a number of candidates. This topic list will now appear on the website, so that the lists from previous reports can be more easily accessed.
An external review of RCoA exams which was already planned for Spring 2022 will include the FFICM exam.
