"Each case has a maximum mark of five, so the maximum mark for the exam will be 125 marks. No half-marking used. The scores are blindly double-marked, and the final mark will be the average of the scores between the two examiners for each case, with a maximum difference of one mark allowed 3. So, there is no concept of a pass or fail per case. The pass mark for each sitting is based on an Angoff standard setting process based on the used content."

"History and etymology"
"Before June 2025 exam setting, the short cases reporting session was called "rapid reporting session". The examination was 35 minutes long on 30 plain films and the candidate must report them as normal or abnormal; where abnormal, they must record the abnormality. Of the 30 cases, approximately half will be normal. It was generally considered that when the examiners select cases, they will be more likely to give more abnormal than normal, giving a range of approximately 15-17 abnormal and 13-15 normal."
