Adjustment to CASC results for 11 & 21 January 2021

In the January 2021 MRCPsych CASC examination, a station was included on two of the days that contained an error in the candidate instructions. The two days affected are Monday 11 and Thursday 21 January 2021. This meant that it was not possible to determine a fair passing score for this station.  Accordingly, the station was removed from the examination for these two days.

To pass the examination on the affected days, candidates must meet or exceed the total borderline regression score and achieve the passing score in a minimum of 11 out of 15 stations. Candidates sitting the exam on the other eight days within this diet are unaffected.

Following consultation with the GMC, we are satisfied that all candidates passing the exam have sufficiently demonstrated the necessary standard across the breadth of the curriculum, and that for all candidates the exam continues to be reliable.
