In five consecutive Primary Examinations for the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the scores of candidates in the multiple choice question paper, written paper, and oral interview have been analysed for mutual correlations and for the reproducibility of the written paper score. The conclusions reached were that all these scores correlate with each other, that no score can be left out without reducing the reliability of the examination, that the marking of written papers in a close-marking system is remarkably reproducible, and that the oral score contributes most, the multiple choice question paper the least, to the overall assessment.
在英格兰皇家外科医学院院士资格连续五次的初级考试中，对考生在多项选择题试卷、笔试和口试中的成绩进行了相互关联分析以及笔试成绩的可重复性分析。得出的结论是，所有这些成绩相互关联，任何一项成绩都不能遗漏，否则会降低考试的可靠性；在严格评分系统中，笔试评分具有显著的可重复性；口试成绩对整体评估的贡献最大，多项选择题试卷成绩的贡献最小。
