Diplomate Examination (DFPH) Results and Feedback

Standard marking process

Papers are anonymised and marked by examiners working individually.

The process of marking Diplomate examination questions and reaching agreement as to the final mark on each question for each candidate is as follows:

For Paper I, two examiners each mark two questions, that is pair A mark questions 1 & 2, pair B mark questions 3 & 4, etc.
For Paper II, two examiners each mark Paper IIA and two different examiners each mark Paper IIB.

A total of 14 examiners are therefore involved in marking the examination scripts from each sitting of the Part A. This process ensures that each script is double marked.

Each examiner marks their allotted scripts independently. Questions in Paper I are each marked out of 10, while each section (A & B) of Paper II is marked out of 50. Examiners mark against the mark scheme and initially 'blind' to the pass mark and their colleague examiner's mark.

Only once both examiners have completed their marking are they supplied with (1) the pass mark for each question marked and (2) the marks of their co-examiner.

The paired examiners then discuss and compare their results in order to reach a set of agreed marks for each script. The two agreed marks from each examiner are averaged to derive the final mark for that question for each candidate.

Before submitting their agreed marks, examiners need to ensure that their two separate marks comply with certain rules:

In Paper I, the two marks may not differ by more than two points (eg. a five and a seven is satisfactory but not a five and an eight).
In Paper II, the two marks for IIA and IIB separately may not differ by more than five points (10%).
In either paper, the two marks may not constitute a difference between a pass and a fail, ie. they must both be either pass marks or fail marks.

If their individual marks do not meet these rules, the examiners discuss how they reached their marks on those candidates' papers. This may sometimes lead to one or both of the examiners agreeing to change their mark(s) to ensure the rules are met (either by increasing or decreasing), or they may agree to re-mark that candidate's paper. Re-marking is often carried out when the results span the pass/fail borderline. The results following re-marking are again compared and any remaining discrepancies are re-discussed. This process continues until the rules are met, which is usually achieved within two reviews.

The final mark on each paper for every candidate sitting the examination is individually discussed and agreed at the Examinations Board meeting. Candidates must pass both Paper I and Paper II separately in order to pass overall. As of March 2023, candidates will also need to pass 5 out of 9 questions across Paper IIA and IIB with at least two passes in each paper. For further details see the Diplomate marking algorithm used by the Board of Examiners.

Alternative marking process

The Faculty Education Committee have approved the use of single marking with moderation, rather than double marking, if candidate numbers exceed a certain threshold. Following a calibration process, two markers share the marking of each question. As in previous exams, the marks are collated and reviewed by the Faculty’s Educational Advisor, who has provided guidance to the examination board on this method. The papers of candidates whose marks are close to the pass mark will be reviewed by a second examiner. This marking method means that about 25% of the scripts will be assessed by two examiners. In all other ways, for example determining the pass mark by standard setting, there is no change in process.

If a candidate falls ill (or experiences another extenuating circumstance) during the time near to the examination (e.g. the evening or morning before the exam) they may absent themselves from the exam and submit the application for extenuating circumstances within three working days.

If a candidate is suffering with an infectious illness they should submit an application to withdraw from the exam and not sit the exam or attend any exam venue.

Candidates who are ‘fit to sit’ on entering the examination but become unwell during the exam (or experience another extenuating circumstance) should speak immediately to the invigilator and a member of the examinations team who will include this in a report for the exam board.

If the candidate leaves/decides to end the exam in these circumstances, their answer script/mark sheet shall become null and void irrespective of whether the extenuating circumstances application is successful.

Please note that if the candidate wishes to continue the examination and subsequently submits an application for extenuating circumstances, a successful application will result in their attempt being discounted whatever the outcome.

Please see more information in the full Extenuating Circumstances Policy here.

Please note that from Friday 3^rd May 2024, candidates will be able to log in to their FPH Membership Portal to access their exam results.

Please see instructions below on how to do this.

Guidance For Candidates On How To Access FPH Examination Results

A pass list and results summary will also be published on the FPH website the week after the results are released. Examination results will not be given over the telephone. Results are not posted in the FPH premises.

The result for all candidates will be sent to Faculty Advisers and Programme Directors.

All candidates who are unsuccessful in the examination will receive feedback on their examination performance in the form of marks as well as examiners' general comments about overall question performance. Candidates will not receive detailed individual feedback.

It is possible to 'bank' papers at the Diplomate examination (DFPH). This means that if the candidate does not pass the examination but has passed an individual paper, this result can be banked so that the candidate need not sit this paper again. This is feasible due to the explicit separation of knowledge and skills between Papers I and II.

Please note the following:

An individual paper (I or II) may be banked only when it has been passed.
As of January 2017, FPH no longer stipulates that candidates who bank a paper at a sitting must then sit the remaining paper at each subsequent examination. The limit on holding a banked paper is now one year (two sittings). For example, if a candidate banks a paper in June 2019, they can miss the following January 2020 sitting and resit their remaining paper in June 2020.
The banked paper will still be valid if the candidate fails the remaining paper again, as long as they keep sitting for the remaining paper either in every subsequent exam or every other subsequent exam. This is limited to six attempts in total.
If the candidate requires longer than a year to resit the remaining paper, (for any reason, including extended leave from work such as carers, parental or sick leave), they should submit a statement from their educational supervisor or training programme director which will be considered by the Chair of Diplomate Examiners. This is because any longer than a year is likely to impact on training progress.
There will be no change in the examination fees for sittings of individual papers.
Candidates must continue to take both parts (papers) of the examination at the same sitting, unless a paper has been banked previously.

Candidates who wish to appeal against their examination results should consult the appeal procedures and guidance document.

Please note that marks/results will not be altered to reflect individual circumstances.

Diplomate Exam Monitoring and Performance

In parallel with the introduction of modified Angoff standard setting of our Diplomate examination in January 2017, the Diplomate exam team also introduced robust exam review by an independent external educationalist at each diet (sit). This has allowed the Chair/deputy Chair and Board to understand at an exam and question level, how the examination is performing at that diet, which is over and above simple monitoring of pass/fail rates.
