Although there are three discipline components to the Generic Surgical Sciences Examination, they are not equally weighted. Anatomy is worth approximately 50 per cent, pathology and physiology approximately 25 per cent each. The relative contributions for each may vary slightly if removing questions from scoring is deemed necessary on final review of the analysis of results. Furthermore it is important that your score in each component is above the minimum required component score. If it is not, then your result will be a 'component fail' and thus you will fail the exam as a whole regardless of your overall score.
