Abstract:
Trainee doctors can fail Royal College exams as a result of poor multiple choice question technique. On a negatively marked exam it is possible for candidate to know a subject well, answer 72% of the questions correctly, and yet still only obtain a mark of 44%. As a result, even some very good clinicians fail these exams.
