threshold for two of the five sections. For entry to the 2022 MB ChB
programme, the thresholds were set as follows:
o Verbal Reasoning – threshold set at the bottom 20^th percentile
(scores in the top 80% met the threshold)
o Situational Judgement – threshold set above the bottom 10^th
percentile (scores in the top 89% met the threshold)
I trust you will find this information helpful.
