OSCE Calculator

In health and TVET programmes the OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) usually carries its own weight inside a parent component — for example 37.5% of Continuous Assessment or 33.3% of the Semester Examination — and often carries a separate pass rule.

Result Forum Health & TVET Example Scheme

Configurable example (CA 40% / SE 60% with OSCE-style practicals). Weights, minimums and grade bands are institution-configurable and must be matched to each programme's authoritative regulations before official use.

  • • Missing required marks for: Assignments, CAT 1, CAT 2, Practical / Clinical Logbook / OSCE.
  • • Missing required marks for: Written Theory Paper, Final Practical / OSCE.

Worked example

Example: an OSCE scored 60/100 inside the Semester Examination contributes 60% × 33.3% internal weight = 20 weighted marks. The scheme's practical group rule separately requires at least 50% on practicals regardless of the written theory score.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the practical have its own pass rule?

Clinical competence cannot be compensated by written theory in most health programmes — the practical pass is a safety requirement. This example enforces it as a separate-pass group.

Can OSCE appear in both CA and the final exam?

Yes — and on Result Forum they remain distinct components with unique internal ids (ca_practical_osce and se_final_practical_osce) even though both display 'OSCE'.
