Pass rate of 70% reported for College of Optometrists’ latest OSCE

A pass rate of 70% has been announced for the College of Optometrists’ latest OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) – in line with previous pass rates for this time of year.

In total, 326 candidates sat the OSCE in July at the Royal College of General Practitioners.

College head of assessment Joseph Oakley said: ‘Passing the OSCE is the final hurdle of a challenging, but rewarding, assessment programme which ensures all new entrants have met the high standards required to begin their careers as qualified optometrists.’

The College has hosted four OSCEs a year since its inception in July 2010.
