The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted education-related activities, including the conduct of examinations. We review the literature regarding high-stakes examinations during the pandemic, discuss the decision-making process of whether to proceed with a high-stakes examination and share published experiences in conducting high-stakes examinations during the pandemic. We illustrate our own recent experiences of decision-making and conduct of our high-stakes gastroenterology licencing examinations during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is possible to conduct high-stakes examinations virtually during pandemic situations with fidelity and adherence to the established format and standards.
新冠疫情大流行扰乱了与教育相关的活动，包括考试的进行。我们回顾了疫情期间高风险考试的文献，讨论了是否继续进行高风险考试的决策过程，并分享了在疫情期间进行高风险考试的已发表经验。我们举例说明了我们自己在新冠疫情高峰期进行高风险胃肠病学执照考试的决策和进行情况。在疫情期间，以真实、符合既定格式和标准的方式进行高风险考试是可行的。
