Unless examiners are carefully selected, trained, and monitored, examinations may become haphazard. This is perhaps most true of oral or viva voce ("viva") examinations, which can generate marks unrelated to competence. To help other bodies to short circuit some years of experiment in connection with the oral component of the Royal College of General Practitioners' membership examination (MRCGP), this paper describes the selection, training, guidance, and monitoring arrangements that have been developed.
除非仔细挑选、培训和监督考官，考试可能会变得随意。对于口试或口头答辩（“答辩”）考试来说可能更是如此，这类考试可能会给出与能力无关的分数。为了帮助其他机构避免在皇家全科医师学院会员考试（MRCGP）口试部分进行多年的试验，本文介绍了已制定的选拔、培训、指导和监督安排。
