Submit a practice paper from the RCM Examinations Official Examination Papers, 2007 edition for assessment in preparation for your actual examination.

Receive the Practice Theory Assessment, marked by a member of the College of Examiners, in time to review the feedback in advance of your examination.

Please note: Practice papers submitted for assessment MUST be taken from the RCM Examinations Official Examination Papers, 2007 edition. Papers from previous editions of the Official Examination Papers cannot be accepted for assessment. Assessments do not necessarily reflect your potential performance on a theory examination under normal examination conditions. The comments and marks should only be used as tools for review and improvement.

Candidates will receive the assessed paper back through the mail 2 – 3 weeks after the date of the submission. The practice paper will be assessed by a member of the College of Examiners. Candidates will receive a mark and brief comments on their assessed practice paper.

Practice Theory Assessment requests may be submitted at anytime during the year.
