Whilst it is true that an examination should transparently reflect the abilities of the candidate without prejudicing those not versed with the system of examination, the reality of the situation is that practice of the technique undoubtedly improves performance. On the other hand the College claims to make every effort to validate each portion of the examination by retrospectively streaming each year group and examining the performance of each band on every question.

Those questions that have poor discriminating power or a tendency to invert the groupings are withdrawn. Consistency between year groups is maintained by the use of tried and tested moderator questions that allow inter-year comparisons to be made before defining the cut-off point between success and failure within an exam group.

Thus, it is hoped that each candidates performance is assessed objectively, independently and without bias. So what does this mean in terms of technique? Firstly there can be no predetermined pass mark, or for that matter a predetermined pass ratio, since each year group is examined against past year groups.

This means that a calculated approach based on number of questions answered correctly is fundamentally flawed. When re-sitting an exam, the user can also choose to 'shuffle' the question stems A-E, so that they cannot simply remember patterns of true and false answers. A final unique aspect of the program is that it allows the user to select how confident they are of their answer, and the program can then provide feedback on a user's 'guessing strategy'.
