Pass Rates for the MRCP(UK) Examination

While MRCP(UK) has always closely monitored the proportion of candidates passing our exams (the ‘pass rate’), this information has not always been readily available to candidates, their supervisors or the wider public. Following the successful introduction of equating to the Part 1 Examination in the 2008/3 diet, the MRCP(UK) Management Board has now decided that the pass rates for this exam should be openly available in the public domain.

The MRCP(UK) PACES 2009/3 diet has seen the implementation of changes to the way the examination is marked, and to the structure and content of Station 5. MRCP(UK) Management Board has now decided that the pass rates for this examination should also be openly available in the public domain following data for the Part 2 Written Examination, where the results are calculated by the equating process.
