Delay in release of April and May SCA results
Although the release date for the April SCA sitting was meant to be today, 25th April, a delay has been announced by the RCGP due to a shortage of examiners.
Instead of the results being released at 17:00 today on 25th April, the new SCA results date and time is now going to be 17:00 on 2nd May.
The reason for the above, as per the RCGP note is the “timing of the Easter holiday which has impacted the short marking period“.
It is a bit unclear how the timing of the Easter holiday has affected the marking as Easter was before the exams took place. However, RCGP claims that they didn’t want to limit the amount of trainees sitting the exam, presumably expecting there to be a shortage in available examiners to do the marking.
The results of the next May SCA sitting will also be delayed by a week. The results are now expected to be released on 6th June instead of end of May.
Following the June SCA sitting, there will be a 2 month break for the summer. The SCA exam will result in September with the first sitting on 10-12th September. Here is the rest of the timetable for 2024 as released by MRCGP.
