Aim
The
aim of the English section of MDCAT is to measure the applicants’ skills in
English language
and to evaluate how prepared they are for
undertaking graduate studies in medicine in English.
The test applies a common standard to everyone to be
able to evaluate the preparation of the
applicants from different sectors, regions and
socio-economic backgrounds.
The benchmarks for the test have been developed in
the light of the Syllabus used in HSSC and
CIE. Since the students who take the MDCAT come from
a wide range of educational contexts,
the test comprises items that may be applied to a
broadband of language competencies that are
not exclusive to one particular type of Syllabus.
Objectives
i. To ensure complete alignment between the English
Syllabus used in various sectors at the HSSC

MDCAT
iii. To make sure that difficult and ambiguous items
beyond the scope of high school education
are not included
iv. To design the test specifications
v. To design, select, and arrange test task items
