How to Access Exam Results

Ontario Clinical Exam candidates will receive an email from the College when their results are available. This email will briefly inform candidates of their exam results, provide directions for accessing a performance summary if they were unsuccessful, and share information about next steps.

Candidate scores are uploaded to the PT Portal and are listed as either Pass or Fail. Unsuccessful candidates will receive feedback related to the exam domain areas from the blueprint that they underperformed in. This performance summary will help candidates with remaining exam attempts to study for their next exam. Successful candidates will have 12 weeks to apply for Independent Practice.

All candidates have a total of three attempts to successfully complete the Ontario Clinical Exam, another approved clinical exam or an alternative pathway to registration in Canada. To learn more about exam attempts, please review the Exam Maximum Number of Attempts Policy.

Reviews and Appeals

The goal of the Ontario Clinical Exam (OCE) is to fairly assess the competency of all candidates. However, during and after the exam, a candidate may identify factors that could have impacted their performance.

Remember: During the exam, candidates should always inform staff of any issues they encounter. Staff will document the issues and troubleshoot as much as possible.

If a candidate believes the issues they experienced could not be mitigated by staff and therefore impacted their exam performance, they may choose to request an exam review and potentially an exam appeal. See the exam policies below for more information.
