The ETHOS exam has a three-hour time limit, and most applicants use the allotted time to complete the exam. A passing score is the class average (or higher), for each individual exam. Those who have passed will be contacted and provided information regarding an upcoming POPAT date. Applicants who fail to pass the ETHOS exam must wait 6 months and then re-register for a second opportunity to write the exam. Each request will be considered on an individual basis. The modules assess the following four areas:
-
-
- Memory and observation skills (20 marks)
- Reading, Comprehension and Critical Thinking Skills (25 marks)
- Summarizing skills (10 marks)
- Writing and editing skills (45 marks)
