Introduction: MDcat 2025 and Result Validity
The video introduces a discussion about the validity of MDcat results for the upcoming 2025 exam, considering the three-year validity rule. It addresses the change in total marks from 200 to 180 and how this affects students who scored high marks in previous years. The discussion also covers the potential difficulty of the upcoming MDcat, as the PMDC will create the question bank and forward it to the provinces.
Converting Previous Scores to the New 180-Mark System
The video explains how to convert previous MDcat scores (out of 200) to the new 180-mark system. To convert the marks, students should multiply their previous year's marks by 0.9. For example, a student who scored 187 out of 200 would have their score converted to approximately 168 out of 180 (187 * 0.9 = 168.3). This conversion ensures that previous scores can be fairly evaluated under the new total marks.
Potential Changes and Fairness Considerations
The video addresses potential changes to the result validity policy based on the difficulty level of the MDcat 2025 exam. If the exam is tougher due to the new question bank design by PMDC, there might be adjustments to the policy to ensure fairness. The PMDC might consider deducting marks from previous years' scores if this year's exam proves significantly more challenging.
