Purpose
'Killer questions' must be answered correctly on an OSCE Station. If the candidate gets a mark of 0 for the question, they fail the exam. They can get a 1 on the question and still pass.
Function
To set a killer question, open an OSCE exam and look for the Set Killer Question link in the sidebar (flagged with ) . Select a question and click the link: this will toggle killer question status.
The OSCE Mark Sheet records fails on killer questions and backgrounds them black.
Warning
The marker can tell whether this is a killer question. This may lead the marker to be more lenient in marking.
