Can you please clarify the marking criteria and any minimum passing marks needed? Do these marks, when passed, affect the part 2 or overall result or VTE? 

[Tashfeen Jamil]

Hi Shallu

So basically there is no negative marking so If you are not sure about any mcq just attempt it whatever option you find closest .The minimum passing marks in both paper A and B are 50%, so you have to secure 50%in both papers individually otherwise they fail you even If your 1 paper is pass and other is 49% still you overall fail. And no these percentages doesn’t affect ORE 2 and VTE  once you are passed that’s enough,you can sit part 2 no matter whether you have obtained 50% or 90%.
