Assessment for the Anatomy Module

The examination for the Anatomy module comprises an electronic image viewing session of 100 questions (20 images and five questions on each) and is of 1¼ hours in duration. the examination will only be held in London for the three sittings in 2010. Additionally, for the three sittings in 2010, the examination will be available in Hong Kong and Singapore in paper format.

The introduction of additional UK venues and the adoption of an electronic format examination in Hong Kong and Singapore at a later stage are being explored. The standard for success is determined at each sitting of the examination based on the difficulty of the questions used and so may vary between sittings. It is likely that more than one set of images and questions will be utilised at each sitting and the standard required for success may also vary between the sets of images and questions.

Further details about the examination can be found in the “Guidance Notes for Candidates”, which are published on the College’s website (www.rcr.ac.uk) and sent to all candidates when their application is accepted.
