Receiving your results
Candidates are awarded a result of pass or fail for the Clinical Examination. There is no rank order.
The Examinations department formally advises candidates via the RACS Portfolio and via email of their result approximately 2-3 weeks after the examination, following ratification by the Surgical Sciences Examination and Clinical Examination Committee.
Candidates will be informed of the specific date on which their results will be released shortly before the examination takes place.
If you have any questions about your result please contact the Examinations department.

Querying your results
Examination results are rigorously reviewed on at least two occasions prior to ratification and delivery to candidates. While it will always be disappointing for candidates who are not successful it is not possible to re-mark or re-check individual results.
