First Newcastle Med exam (1 Viewer)

Ok...
Now i know why so many failed last year.
Firstly, they had a satisfactory/non-satisfactory marking system for the SAQs (short ans qns) where you had to get at least 3/5 to get the full marks, anything under you get 0 for that question.
ANYWAY, the exam was a bitch...

[Bob.J]

actually wait... they changed it to marks now
but they still had satisfactory/non-satisfactory for professional practice

i still don't like the idea where you have to repeat the whole year because you stuffed up a 2 hr exam

Well tell them in your feedback session. Medical schools pay a lot more attention to student feedback than other faculties, because their reputation in the community is constantly at stake.
