    Thank you for replying.

    I feel like ‘quality assuarance’ without explanation is vague. It allows for speculation. A clear explanation would be beneficial as interpretations vary wildly. Hopefully this thread will shed light on the logic.

    Thank you so much for replying, I really appreciate it.

    I understand the concept you have described and answered all questions as if they will be marked.

    I am not trying to find a way to identify what will/won’t be marked, I simply don’t understand how this done. For example if there were 5 seeded mcq which were on every single exam and 40% got them right, and the overall pass percentage was 40% then I can see this as a viable test of quality assurance. Just saying that they are there for quality assurance without the logic behind it is what I don’t get.

    Apologies if I have missed something which would explain that in your response, exam fatigue is strong.

    Bit of a general question I know but can anyone explain how seeded questions work? Are there 5 questions which are consistent across all the exams for them to assess quality control as everyone now does broadly different mcq. How do they assess it? Have heard a few conspiracy theories which I think are a bit suspect and do not believe, so would appreciate a plain English answer. Thanks in advance.
