31.1.1. Written Examination

Students will complete end-of-clerkship exams during the on-campus seminars. These exams will contain questions covering topics in the blueprint for the PA National Certifying Exam, particularly those likely to be encountered in the completed clerkships. A minimum score of 65% is required to pass.  Students who fail an exam will be required to remediate, testing the same content, but not containing the same questions. The student must score >65% on the repeat exam to successfully pass the course. Only one opportunity is given to re-take this exam. Beginning in June 2019, a minimum score of 70% is required to pass the end-of-clerkship exams.
