| Abstract: | The final anatomy examination at the end of year 2 is composed of 2 written exam papers consisting of eight sections, each of which contains EMQs,True/False questions and Short Response Questions. Each section is set and marked by two examiners. An external examiner reviews all papers before the exam. Each section is marked blind twice i.e., the second examiner is not aware of the marks of the first examiner based on a model answer. In most but not in all cases, the two examiners have both taught the material being examined. After all marks are compiled, significant discrepancies between examiners are reconciled. In all other cases the marks of the two examiners are averaged and a final mark is issued.The purpose of this study was to explore the consistency between the two internal examiners in their marks in the Short Response Questions. |
