  15. The 2018 European Specialty Examination in Gastroenterology and Hepatology was sat on 18 April 2018. • The 2018 examination is the first sitting of a joint examination where the Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE) in Gastroenterology and the European Section and Board of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Examination (ESBGHE) became a single examination which will be referred to as the European Specialty Examination in Gastroenterology and Hepatology (ESEGH). • The examination was conducted using Computer Based Testing, at Pearson Vue test centres in the UK and around the world. • The examination consisted of two sessions of 3 hours. During each session candidates answered 100 best-of-five questions, which were displayed in a random order. A total of 413 candidates completed both sessions. • For this examination 112 questions were new i.e. they had not been pre-tested or used before and 88 items were re-used from a previous diets. The selected questions were standard-set before the examination using the modified Angoff’s method of criterion referencing to produce a pass-mark. • All 200 questions were scored for this examination.

  16. The pass mark is set at 60% (120/200) • This results in a pass rate for all candidates of 67.3% (278/413) • UK trainees pass rate is 83% (146/176) • European centres (UK excluded) pass rate 73.9% (65/88)

  17. Performance of candidates • The group of 413 candidates had a mean score of 62.4% (S.D. = 9), with a range of 31.5% to 82.5%. • 176 candidates declared that they are trained in the UK and their scores have a mean of 65.5% and S.D. = 6.9 (range between 40% and 79%). • 88 candidates sat in European centres other than in the UK, their mean score was 64.3% (S.D. = 8.1), with a range of 42% to 82.5%.
