About CARB-TCMPA
Founded in 2012, the Canadian Alliance of Regulatory Bodies of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CARB-TCMPA) is a group of five provincial regulatory bodies that govern and monitor professionals practising Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture in Canada to ensure that they provide safe, quality, and ethical health care services. The founding members comprise the regulatory bodies of TCM and/or Acupuncture of Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, and Quebec.
Through collaborative activities, the CARB-TCMPA promotes quality practice and labour mobility of TCM professionals in Canada. They serve as a resource to members, governments, and the public. They work collaboratively and act on the opportunities that could have an impact on the regulation, quality, education and training of TCM professionals. About Pan-Canadian Examinations
The CARB-TCMPA administers the Pan-Canadian Entry-level Examinations in TCM and Acupuncture (the “Pan-Canadian Examinations”). The Pan-Canadian Examinations assess occupational competencies of entry-level TCM professionals that are required for safe, competent, and ethical practice. Successful completion of the Pan-Canadian Examinations is required for registration as a TCM Practitioner, Acupuncturist or TCM Herbalist, along with other requirements imposed in (where the participating Canadian provinces titles are available).
The Pan-Canadian Examinations include the following three examinations: 1. Pan-Canadian Entry-level Examinations for TCM Practitioners (the “TCM Practitioners Examination”), 2. Pan-Canadian Entry-level Examinations for Acupuncturists (the “Acupuncturists Examination”), and 3. Pan-Canadian Entry-level Examinations for TCM Herbalists (the “TCM Herbalists Examination”).
The TCM Practitioners Examination assesses occupational competencies that are common to acupuncture and herbology, as well as competencies that are specific to acupuncture and herbology. The Acupuncturists Examination assesses the common competencies as well as those specific to acupuncture. The TCM Herbalists Examination assesses the common competencies as well as those specific to herbology.
In order to pass a Pan-Canadian Examination, a candidate must demonstrate the minimum level of competence expected of an entry-level TCM professional in the designated role. Unsuccessful candidates on the Pan-Canadian Examinations are the ones that have not yet acquired the required occupational competencies.
The Pan-Canadian Examinations must be written by all candidates who applied for registration as a TCM Practitioner, Acupuncturist or TCM Herbalist (where the titles are available) in Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, and Quebec. This requirement extends to the graduates of Canadian and international programs in TCM and Acupuncture.
7 Purpose of the Handbook
The purpose of this handbook is to walk candidates through the process of registering for and completing the Pan-Canadian Examinations. According to the testing standards, examination candidates should have access to the information regarding examination application and eligibility, examination content and format, examination administration, and scoring and reporting. Reading this handbook will help examination candidates navigate their path to successfully completing the Pan-Canadian Examinations and obtaining their professional designation in TCM in Canada.
Eligibility Requirements
The eligibility requirements for taking the Pan-Canadian Examinations vary from province to province. In general, they include a completion of a post-secondary program of study in TCM or Acupuncture and an acquisition of relevant clinical experience under the supervision of a qualified professional. For eligibility requirements to write a Pan-Canadian Examination in each province, individuals should refer to the website of their provincial regulator regulatory body. Examination Content and Format
This section presents an overview of three Pan-Canadian Examinations, along with their examination blueprints.
General Description
The purpose of the Pan-Canadian Examinations is to evaluate candidates’ ability to practice safely and competently as a TCM Practitioner, Acupuncturist or TCM Herbalist at an entry-level. Examination content is derived from the Pan-Canadian Standard for Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists: Entry-Level Occupational Competency Profile (the “National Competency Profile”) published by the CARB-TCMPA. These competencies refer to the job tasks that individuals seeking registration as a TCM Practitioner, Acupuncturist or TCM Herbalist in their province must be able to carry out with an entry-level proficiency.
All candidates for registration as a TCM Practitioner, Acupuncturist, or TCM Herbalist in one of the five participating provinces must pass the relevant Pan-Canadian Examination to be eligible to earn the credential. Each examination consists of two components:
1. Multiple-choice (MC) question component, and 2. Clinical case (CC) question component.
Each component has equal weight towards your passing mark (i.e., the MC component is worth 50% of your total mark, and the CC component is worth 50% of your total mark).
Depending on the examination, the MC component includes 125 or 175 MC questions with four possible answers and only one correct answer. The CC component includes a mixture of 40 or 55 case-based and independent MC questions, as well as alternative question types, including paired true-and-false, multiple-select, and reorder questions.
8
The examination questions are scored as follows: x All questions are worth a maximum of one mark. x In order to obtain one mark for a multiple-select question, the required number of correct responses must be selected. x Partial marks are awarded for multiple-select and reorder questions. o For example, if a multiple-select question asks for 2 options, each option is worth 0.5 marks. However, if you select more than the required options, you will receive zero (0) marks. For example, if you select 3 options, when only 2 options were required, you will receive zero (0) marks. o For example, if a re-order question asks you to order 4 options, each option moved to the correct location is worth 0.25 marks. If only 2 options are moved to the correct location, you will receive 0.5 marks. x There is no penalty for incorrect responses or missed questions.
* Please note, for multiple-select questions, the computer administered examination platform will not notify you if you select more or less options than required.
Case-based questions on the CC component are linked to a scenario, also termed a case, that features a patient with a common clinical problem. The purpose of the case-based questions is to test candidates’ ability to apply their knowledge and skills to a clinical problem. The candidate is expected to analyse the problem and respond to a number of questions that follow. The case has all the information that is needed to respond to the questions. Below is a list of common categories of information found in the case: x Age, gender (e.g., a 45-year-old man), x Chief complaint and duration (e.g., headache for 2 days), x Patient history, x Physical findings, x +/- Results of diagnostic tests, x +/- Initial treatment, and x Subsequent findings.
Each Pan-Canadian Examination is comprised of operational and experimental (i.e, pre-test) questions. The experimental questions are not included in the candidate’s score. The purpose of experimental questions (i.e., pre-testing) is to evaluate the quality of questions through statistical analyses to determine if they can become operational on future examinations. To ensure that the Pan-Canadian Examinations are up-to-date, secure, and always improving, new questions must be continuously introduced and evaluated. Pre-testing is an accepted testing practice that enhances examination quality and contributes to consistent scoring. The pre-testing questions are spread throughout the examination. Candidates should answer all examination questions to the best of their ability because points are not deducted for wrong answers.
Table 1 provides a general description of the format of the Pan-Canadian Examinations, including time limits, examination length, and question types.

Examination Blueprints
Each Pan-Canadian Examination has an examination blueprint that describes how an examination is to be developed. The Pan-Canadian Examinations blueprints outline: 1. which competencies from the National Competency Profile may be tested on the examination, and 2. how the competencies are to be expressed (i.e., the number of questions and approximate distribution of the questions among the competencies).
10 The link between examination blueprints and the National Competency Profile provides important evidence of validity of examination scores. It gives the regulatory bodies for TCM and/or Acupuncture the assurance that they make accurate credentialing decisions about candidates based on their examination scores.
Tables 2 and 3 provide examination blueprints for the MC and CC components of the Pan-Canadian Examinations.

TCM Practitioners, Practice Environment Acupuncturists and/or TCM Herbalists can practice in a variety of settings and because most of the competencies are not setting dependent, the practice environment is only specified when required. Questions pertaining to the TCM illnesses include, but are not limited to, Internal TCM Illnesses and Medicine (Nei Ke), External Medicine (Wai Ke), Obstetrics and Gynecology (Fu Ke), Formulae Pediatrics (Er Ke), Orthopedics and Traumatology (Gu Shang Ke).

Questions are included that relate to lifespan, from preconception through to advanced Lifespan age, including end of life. The practice environment can be any setting or circumstance within the scope of practice defined by provincial legislation and regulation. TCM Practitioners, Practice Environment Acupuncturists and/or TCM Herbalists can practice in a variety of settings and because most of the competencies are not setting dependent, the practice environment is only specified when required. Questions pertaining to the TCM illnesses include, but are not limited to, Internal TCM Illnesses Medicine (Nei Ke), External Medicine (Wai Ke), Obstetrics and Gynecology (Fu Ke), Pediatrics (Er Ke), Orthopedics and Traumatology (Gu Shang Ke).
As can be seen from the examination blueprints, approximately two-thirds of questions on each examination component pertain to the TCM Foundations and Diagnostics and Treatment practice areas of the National Competency Profile. Each practice area represents a logical grouping of occupational competencies that detail the job-related functions in that area. In addition, the majority of examination
13 questions (70-90%) assess candidate’s ability to apply knowledge to simple or complex clinical situations (i.e., these examination questions are also termed Application and Critical Thinking questions).
The Pan-Canadian Examinations questions feature patients of different age groups and with a variety of illnesses, which include but are not limited to: Internal Medicine (Nei Ke), External Medicine (Wai Ke), Obstetrics and Gynecology (Fu Ke), Pediatrics (Er Ke), Orthopedics and Traumatology (Gu Shang Ke). The practice environment in the questions can be any setting or circumstance within the scope of practice of TCM Practitioners, Acupuncturists or TCM Herbalists, as defined by provincial legislation and regulation.
The MC component of the Pan-Canadian Examinations is comprised of MC questions only, while the CC component additionally utilizes four alternative question types throughout its case-based and independent questions, including:
1. multiple-choice, 1. paired true-and-false, 2. multiple-select, and 3. drag-and-drop reorder.
There are no specifications regarding the percentage of alternative question types on the CC component. All examination questions are designed to assess an entry-level ability of a candidate, and it is not necessary to “balance” the examination with regard to question type. The examinations are content balanced according to their respective examination blueprints.
Multiple-choice, paired true-and-false, multiple-select and drag-and-drop reorder questions are all worth one mark. For drag-and-drop reorder questions, candidates receive partial marks for each option in the correct order, up to a maximum of 1 mark. For multiple-select questions, candidates receive partial marks for each correct response selected, up to a maximum of 1 mark. For example, if a candidate selects two correct responses out of four, the candidate receives 0.5 (2/4) marks for the multiple-select question. Negative marks are not given for selecting an incorrect option. However, if more than the required number of responses are selected the candidate gets zero. For example, if the candidate is asked to select 3 options, and they select 4 options (or 5 options or 6 options etc.), they will receive zero marks.
Table 4 provides a detailed description of question types on the CC component of the Pan-Canadian Examination. Sample questions of each type are included in Appendix A.

15 Examination Development Procedures
All Pan-Canadian Examinations questions are developed by the national and representative panels of subject matter experts (SMEs) who are recognized by the CARB-TCMPA for their expertise in one or more areas of examination content. Examination questions are developed using a five-step process facilitated by a psychometrician from a third-party consulting firm and guided by standards accepted by the American Psychological Association, the American Educational Research Association, and the National Council on Measurement in Education. The examination development process includes:
1. Development of Examination Blueprints A national and representative panel of SMEs, known as the Examination Committee, develops an examination blueprint that specifies examination length and duration, question type and presentation, and a breakdown of examination questions by practice area of the national competency profile and cognitive type.
2. Item Writing and Review Examination questions are developed by geographically and culturally diverse groups of SMEs who received training on the principles of question writing. All examination questions are tied to examination blueprint specifications and referenced to an acceptable text or document. Once completed, examination questions are validated by the Examination Committee.
3. Examination Assembly The examinations are assembled in accordance with examination blueprint specifications and reviewed by the Examination Committee and approved by the Steering Committee. As noted in the blueprint, there can be up to 10% of experimental questions in each component. Questions deemed “experimental” are not scored and do not count towards a candidate’s total score.
4. How the Minimum Passing Score is Established The CARB-TCMPA uses a widely accepted criterion-referenced procedure (the “modified Angoff technique”) to establish minimum passing scores for the Pan-Canadian Examinations. The passing score for the examination is set by the Examination Committee using the modified Angoff technique. This technique is one of the most widely used and accepted ways of establishing a passing score on a credentialing examination.
The modified Angoff technique involves the Examination Committee rating each examination question with respect to the performance of a minimally competent candidate. The minimally competent candidate can be conceptualized as the candidate possessing the minimum level of knowledge and skills necessary to perform at the level required for registration in the profession. To do the rating, the Examination Committee members ask themselves a question “What percentage of minimally competent candidates will answer this question correctly?” The ratings of all Examination Committee members are then collated and tabulated to achieve the average rating per question. These ratings are then averaged to obtain the passing score for the total examination.
As the Pan-Canadian Examinations are modified on a regular basis, the minimum passing score is adjusted for the difficulty of examination questions. The statistical performance of questions is also evaluated regularly to ensure that the Pan-Canadian Examinations adhere to the highest testing standards.
16 Computer-based Administration
The Pan-Canadian Examinations are computer-based assessments, with one question appearing on the screen at a time. In multiple-choice and paired true-false questions, candidates will simply use a mouse to point to the desired answer option and click on it to select it. In multiple-select questions, candidates will select the number of answer options specified in the question. In reorder questions, they will drag and drop answer options to arrange them in the correct order. Candidates can change their answer selections at any time during the examination.
Each question may be viewed as long as a candidate wishes. It is expected that some alternative question types will take less time to answer than traditional MC questions, and some will take more time. The Examination Committee reviews the examination to confirm that it can be completed in the allotted time. Moreover, response-time data for all questions is reviewed, and any question that exhibits an inordinately long response time is removed from the examination.
During the examination, candidates can bookmark a question to return to it later or simply skip it and move to the next one. At the end of the examination, candidates are reminded to go back to any questions that they bookmarked or skipped. The candidates can return to any question simply by clicking on the question number.
All Pan-Canadian Examinations are closed book. Accessing external reference materials during the examination is not permitted. There is a notes field in the testing platform, in which candidates can type notes during the examination. These notes are for personal use, and they will not be reviewed by the CARB-TCMPA.
Language
The Pan-Canadian Examinations are available in English. In Quebec and Ontario, the examinations can be offered in French. In British Columbia, the examinations are also offered in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese in addition to English.
Examination Integrity
A key to an effective credentialing examination is its integrity. Examination integrity is one of the prerequisites of examination score validity. When an examination integrity is compromised, a regulatory body cannot have confidence in examination results.
The CARB-TCMPA takes strict security measures to protect the content of the Pan-Canadian Examinations before, during and after examination administration. These security measures include but are not limited to:
1. Restricting access to the online item banks only to the qualified individuals involved in examination development and administration, 2. Creating password-protected examination administration accounts for candidates, 3. Delivering the examinations in a secure online environment, and 4. Having trained proctors invigilate the examinations.
17 In addition to using the state-of-the-art item banking, examination administration, and proctoring methods, the CARB-TCMPA relies on the ethical behavior of candidates, members, and registrants to maintain the security of the Pan-Canadian Examinations.
All examination materials are protected by copyright. The CARB-TCMPA require that prior to taking an examination, candidates read and accept the terms of the Code of Conduct for the Examination (see Appendix B). When registrants or candidates reveal the information about the content of examinations, they violate the terms of this code, as well as the code of ethics and professional conduct of their provincial regulatory body. Registrants or candidates who violate the Code of Conduct harm those who abide by the Code of Conduct.
The CARB-TCMPA pursues actions against organizations and individuals who reveal information about the content of the Pan-Canadian Examinations, and individuals who fraudulently claim or misrepresent their identity while taking the examinations. Penalties include permanently barring individuals from participating in the Pan-Canadian Examinations and/or revoking the credential.
18 Preparing for the Examination
There are various approaches to prepare for the Pan-Canadian Examinations. Candidates are encouraged to:
1. Develop a study plan; 2. Become familiar with the testing platform; and 3. Developing a test-taking strategy.
1. Develop a Study Plan
To prepare for an examination, candidates are encouraged to design a study plan based on the National Competency Profile and examination blueprints. The examination blueprints show which practice areas from the National Competency Profile will be on the examination, and how they will be weighted. Candidates are encouraged to review their knowledge of all practice areas, not just those they identify as their weakness.
When preparing for the examination, candidates should review sample questions enclosed as Appendix A to this handbook. These questions are intended to help candidates become familiar with various question types used on the Pan-Canadian Examinations.
In addition, there is a list of references which, although not exhaustive, may be helpful to candidates in preparation for the Pan-Canadian Examinations. This list is provided in Appendix C. For convenience, the suggested references have been grouped into the following five categories:
1. Foundations and Diagnosis; 2. Clinical Practice and Treatment; 3. Acupuncture; 4. Herbology and Formulas; and 5. Biomedicine and other related areas (e.g., by-laws, safety).
Finally, examination candidates should familiarize themselves with standard terminology used on the Pan- Canadian Examinations (please see the Appendices).
2. Become Familiar with Examination Delivery Platform
There is a tutorial available to candidates to help familiarize themselves with the testing platform and various question types used on the Pan-Canadian Examinations. The tutorial can be taken at any time between examination registration on the testing platform and examination administration day. There are unlimited attempts and the score of this assessment does not count towards any other assessment.
3. Develop a Test-taking Strategy
Knowing how to take an examination will help candidates improve their score. The goal is to answer as many questions correctly as possible in the time allotted for the examination. There is no penalty for selecting an incorrect answer. However, only correct answers will count toward an examination score.
19 Here are some strategies to consider during the examination:
1. Read each question carefully. Candidates should try to anticipate the answer before looking at the available answer options. The questions are designed in such a way that all the information that is needed to answer the question is in the stem (i.e., the question part).
2. Take each question at face value. There are no questions that are intended to be misleading, and there is only one correct (or the best) answer to multiple-choice and paired true-and-false questions. The number of correct answers to a multiple-select question is specified in the question stem. In a reorder question, only one order of answer options is correct.
3. Use the tools in the testing system to flag questions for review and return to them later if unsure of an answer.
4. Budget the time wisely. Keep an eye on the time. Spending an excessive amount of time on a question is counterproductive because it may impede the candidate’s ability to finish all of the examination questions on time.

The CARB-TCMPA will provide reasonable special accommodations for candidates with special needs, for candidates with a religious reason that prevents them from writing on the scheduled examination date, or for other medical situations deemed appropriate by the organization.
Candidates with disabilities are entitled under the Human Rights legislation of each province to reasonable examination accommodations that provide for fair and valid assessment. A disability is any health-based restriction that may prevent candidates from demonstrating their competence should they be writing an examination under regular examination administration conditions. A disability may include any degree of physical disability, mental health impairment, or a learning disability. Lack of proficiency in English or French is not grounds for requesting any form of special accommodations.
The CARB-TCMPA is accountable for responding to requests for special accommodations while ensuring the integrity of the Pan-Canadian Examinations. The special accommodations provided to a candidate should not interfere with accurate measurement of candidate’s knowledge of TCM and/or Acupuncture. They should not place candidates with special needs at an advantage or disadvantage in comparison to other candidates. Hence, the requests for special accommodations will be considered on a case-by-case basis, keeping in mind the type of accommodation being requested and the functional limitations of the candidate arising from the candidate’s disability.
Common examples of special accommodations provided for the Pan-Canadian Examinations are as follows: x Private Room (Supervised by an Invigilator) x Additional writing time x Paper Assessment (Answers submitted online) x Paper Assessment (Answers submitted using answer sheet) x Kurzweil or other text-to-speech software
For example, a candidate with visual impairment may receive a paper version of exam. Candidates with motor disabilities may receive additional time to complete their examination.
In order to apply for a special accommodation, candidates must complete an application form available on the website of their provincial regulatory body before the accommodation request deadline. The purpose of this form is to collect information on the nature and extent of the candidate’s special needs to determine appropriate accommodations. The form includes a section that is to be completed by a qualified health professional who should briefly describe the nature of the candidate’s disability and suggest one or more alternate special accommodations that are appropriate for the candidate. The
22 provincial regulatory body reserves the right to make a decision on whether or not the candidate will receive a special accommodation and if so, what type of accommodation will be provided. In making this decision, the provincial regulatory body will balance the needs of the candidate with examination integrity.
More detail on special accommodations can be found on the websites of provincial regulatory bodies.
Changes to Contact Information
Candidates must update their name and address in their online profile should there be any changes. To access their online profile, candidates must go to TCMPA Home Page (https://tcmpa.ysasecure.com/), enter their username and password to login. Once logged in, they will need to click on the "Profile" tab and then "Edit Profile" button. They will now be able to edit or update their information. Candidates must make sure to click on "Save Changes" before leaving the page. Candidates must then inform their provincial regulator of the changes.
The name used to register for an examination must match the name on the valid ID presented at the examination center.
Cancelling the Examination
Requests to cancel or reschedule an examination must be made in writing and must be received by the regulatory body before the cancellation deadline to obtain a full or partial refund of the examination fee. Verbal cancellations are not accepted. If cancellation requests are NOT received by the deadline, no portion of the examination registration fee will be refunded. NO deferral is allowed.
Candidates should refer to an examination application package of their regulatory body for specific information on deadlines and refunds.
Late Arrival and No-show
A ccandidate who arrives to the examination centre between 1 and 29 minutes AFTER the scheduled start time of the session is permitted to write, however, no additional time will be granted to compensate for the late arrival. For example, if you have 4 hours to write the examination and the scheduled start time is at 9:00am, all candidates will be required to submit their completed responses at the scheduled end time of 1:00pm. No added time is granted to candidates.
Any candidates who arrive to the examination centre 30 or more minutes late will not be permitted to write the examination. Invigilators at the examination site will contact the examination delivery provider for confirmation prior to the candidate leaving the examination centre.
Candidates who do not arrive on time to take the examination, and who do not cancel or withdraw their registration are considered a ‘no-show’ and will forfeit the examination fee. Should they wish to take the examination at a later date, they would need to register and pay the examination fee again.
23 Extreme Circumstances
A candidate who is absent from the examination due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., illness, death in the family) must submit a signed and dated written notification with any supporting documents, such as doctor’s note, to their provincial regulatory body before the deadline to apply for a refund. The provincial regulatory body will determine whether a refund should be issued to the candidate.
If an examination is disrupted due to the circumstances beyond the control of the examination centre and the CARB-TCMPA, such as power failure, fire alarm, or extreme weather, the invigilator will contact the CARB-TCMPA about adjusting the timing of the examination. If the disruption requires the examination to cancelled then the CARB-TCMPA will use best efforts to find an opportunity at a later date to offer the examination. Since examination writing centres are often booked months in advance, the next availability may not be for six months.
On examination day, if a candidate cannot reach the examination site because of circumstances beyond their control, the candidate must contact their provincial regulatory body before the start of the examination.
24
On Examination Day
The Pan-Canadian Examinations are administered via the secure internet-based examination delivery system at proctored examination centres in Canada. Examination administration conditions are standardized across examination sites to ensure the validity of examination score interpretations. The proctors receive special training on examination administration procedures to create a uniform test- taking experience for all candidates.
Examination Procedures
1. At the beginning of the examination, the examination delivery provider uses visual identification to authenticate a candidate. A valid (non-expired) government-issued photo ID (i.e., passport, driver’s license) is required to verify a candidate. The ID is checked by a proctor and the ID number is recorded. The CARB-TCMPA reserves the right to photograph candidates and their ID at registration. Candidates are advised to arrive to the examination centre well before the examination start time to allow time for the registration process.
2. Candidates are not allowed to bring any blank paper, notes, books or other reference materials into the examination rooms. No electronic devices of any kind, including cell phones, are permitted. No electronic or paper dictionaries are permitted. General translation dictionaries (word-to-word) are only allowed if a Special Accommodations request has been approved by a provincial regulatory body prior to the beginning of the examination. Candidates should refer to the Entry into the Examination Room Policy (Appendix D) for details.
3. No food items or beverages, except bottled water in a transparent container with no label, are allowed in the examination room unless a medical report is submitted at time of application.
4. Only approved examination candidates, examiners, and proctors are allowed into the examination rooms. Candidates must not leave an examination room during the course of the examination without an examiner’s or proctor’s permission.
5. Candidates who have requested a washroom break during the examination will be noted by the proctor for the times they have left the room and the time they return. Only one (1) candidate is permitted to use the washroom at any given time, regardless of gender identify. Additional time to complete the examination will not be afforded to these candidates and the timer is not paused during these breaks.
6. Candidates must not convey information in any manner whatsoever to other candidates during and/or after the examination. Any questions or comments candidates may raise during the examinations must be directed to the examiner or the proctor.
7. Upon completing an examination, the testing platform will request candidates to submit their responses.
8. Candidates are not allowed to write notes on their hands or any part of their body before, during or after the examination.
25 Examination Misconduct
1. If examiners and/or proctors suspect that cheating may have occurred, they may confiscate any materials, as well as other documents or objects or materials that could be used for cheating. The candidates will be asked to leave the examination site. The CARB-TCMPA reserves the right to photograph candidates or groups of candidates for later use as evidence and to use monitoring and surveillance technologies to detect and document cheating.
2. Candidates may be asked to change their seats during the examination if they are suspected of cheating.
3. The examiners and/or proctors shall report any suspected cheating to the CARB-TCMPA or its designate (herein known as the “head proctor”).
4. The head proctor shall conduct appropriate investigations of the alleged cheating and shall make one of the following decisions: x Declare that the occurrence of cheating was not established; x Declare that cheating did occur.
5. If the head proctor declares that the occurrence of cheating was not established, the candidate’s score shall be released, if possible, or the candidate shall be permitted to sit the next available examination without charge.
6. Cheating may be declared at any time after a candidate has registered and includes the time after the examination as well as after results have been released.
7. If the head proctor declares that cheating did occur, one or more of the following may occur. x The candidate will be deemed to have failed the examination. x The head proctor shall report findings to the CARB-TCMPA. x The candidate may be prosecuted. x The CARB-TCMPA may deny further access to the examination.
26 After the Examination
Upon examination completion, candidates receive a message on the testing platform that their scores are under review. Candidates will also have the opportunity to complete a post examination survey.
Examination Scoring and Passing Scores
The Pan-Canadian Examinations are scored according to the procedures accepted by the American Psychological Association, the American Educational Research Association, and the National Council on Measurement in Education. Quality control checks are done during and after scoring to ensure score accuracy. For each examination component, the candidate’s score is derived from the number of questions answered correctly, and/or partial marks received for multiple-select and reorder questions. All questions are worth a maximum of one mark. There is no penalty for incorrect responses or missed questions. In order to obtain one mark for a multiple-select question, the required number of correct responses will need to be selected. In order to obtain one mark for a reorder question, all the responses need to be ordered correctly. Each component is worth 50% of the examination marks.
The Pan-Canadian Examinations are scored by using rigorous methodology that includes matching of examination scores produced by two different statistical packages. Considering the rigour of the scoring process, scoring errors are highly unlikely.
Notification of Results
A candidate must pass the Pan-Canadian Examinations to be considered for registration as a TCM Practitioner, Acupuncturist or TCM Herbalist. To determine candidates’ pass/fail status, candidates’ total score will be compared to the examination passing score. The total score is the total marks obtained from both the MC component and CC component. The passing score was established through a systematic process that involved judgment of experts regarding requirements for minimum competence of entry- level TCM Practitioners, Acupuncturists, and TCM Herbalists. For more information on the passing score determination, candidates should refer to the “Examination Development” section of this document.
The status of “pass” is reported for candidates whose total score meets or exceeds the passing score; the status of “fail” is reported for candidates whose total score is below the passing score. Unsuccessful candidates receive an examination performance report that in addition to their total score, provides a breakdown of their examination sub-scores by practice area. These sub-scores are provided for descriptive purposes only. They are less reliable than the total examination score, and therefore, should not be used as a predictor of future examination performance. Unsuccessful candidates should not assume that strong performance in one practice area will automatically occur on their next attempt. Thus, these candidates are recommended to improve their knowledge of all practice areas listed in the National Competency Profile before the next examination attempt.
For information on how examination results are communicated to candidates, examination candidates should refer to the website of their provincial regulatory body. In most cases, examination results will be sent to candidates by mail or via a secured registrant portal approximately one month after examination administration. Examination results will NOT be given over the telephone or by fax for reasons of confidentiality.
27 Rewriting the Examination
In the event that a candidate fails the first attempt to pass the Pan-Canadian Examination, any opportunity to retake the exam is determined by the policy of their provincial regulator. For each retake, candidates must purchase a new exam. The maximum number of retakes depends on the policy set out by their provincial regulator. If unsuccessful after reaching the maximum number of retakes, their provincial regulator may require a candidate to undertake further education or clinical training required by the regulator. For more detail on examination retakes, candidates should refer to the policies of their provincial regulator.
Appeals
An appeal is a request by an examination candidate for reconsideration of the candidate’s examination result issued by the provincial regulatory body. According to the testing standards, examination candidates have the right to appeal their examination result. Access to an independent appeal of examination scores is an important element of due process, fairness, and accountability. Well supported, transparent, and independent appeal mechanisms enhance public confidence in the overall registration process.
The appeal must be submitted in writing following the procedures outlined in the examination appeals policy of a provincial regulatory body. The candidate’s request for an appeal must be supported by the documentation, preferably contemporaneous, that verifies the circumstance that a candidate believes affected the candidate’s performance on the examination (e.g., doctor’s note, incident filed with the proctor at the time). Failure to provide the required documentation under each circumstance may cause the candidate’s appeal not to be granted.
The Examination Appeals Committee will not consider complaints regarding the content of the examination or possible responses to examination questions. Thus, the content of the examination is NOT subject to appeal.
The candidate’s request for an appeal and the supporting documentation provided will be considered by the Examination Appeals Committee who makes final decision on the case. Should the Examination Appeals Committee grant the appeal, the candidate may be allowed to retake the examination at no cost or at an adjusted cost. Written notice of the Examination Appeals Committee’s determination shall be provided to the candidate.
For more information on examination appeals, candidates should refer to the website of their provincial regulator. Privacy
The CARB-TCMPA is committed to collecting, using and disclosing the personal information of its examination candidates responsibly and only to the extent necessary to provide effective services. The personal information provided by applicants and candidates is kept confidential and is used solely for the purpose it is collected.
28 The CARB-TCMPA implements practices on a daily basis to safeguard candidate’s personal information, including the following: x All parties that use candidate’s personal information, including Board governors, Examination Committee members, service providers and CARB-TCMPA staff have entered in confidentiality agreements with the CARB-TCMPA. x Staff is trained to collect, use, disclose and store information in compliance with the internal privacy policy. x Paper personal information is locked in filing cabinets. x Computers are password protected. x Paper information is forwarded by mail or reputable courier companies.
The CARB-TCMPA discloses required personal information to the examination delivery provider for the purpose of administration, scoring and rescoring of the examination. The CARB-TCMPA also discloses required personal information to the provincial regulatory bodies for TCM and/or Acupuncture that require an examination certificate for processing registration applications.
There is no limit to how long the CARB-TCMPA keeps candidate’s examination results and personal information required to verify their eligibility and application status. The balance of the candidate’s personal information is destroyed by shredding or in case of electronic records, by deleting files on a computer.

Appendix B: Code of Conduct for Examinations
Candidates are subject to the Code of Conduct as described below. Candidates who contravene the Code of Conduct may be denied participation, may have results invalidated, denied admission to, and/or retaking the examination. Each candidate, by the act of participating in a Pan-Canadian Examination, agrees to abide by the following Code of Conduct.
1. Candidates acknowledge that the examination and the questions therein are the exclusive property of the CARB-TCMPA.
2. Candidates acknowledge that they CANNOT remove any part of the examination from the test site, nor can they give or receive assistance from another candidate during the examination.
3. Candidates acknowledge that their behaviour before, during and after the examination must be such that it does not disturb other candidates. This includes unnecessary questioning of examination policies and procedures, disruptive comments about the examination or other behaviour that, in the opinion of the examination invigilators, could cause anxiety for other candidates.
4. Candidates acknowledge that their participation in any act of cheating, as described below, may be sufficient cause for the CARB-TCMPA to terminate their participation, to invalidate the results of their examination or to take any other necessary action (please see the Examination Mis- conduct section above).
5. Cheating refers to any act or omission by a candidate that could affect the result of that candidate, another candidate or a potential future candidate. These acts include: a) non-eligible individuals posing as eligible candidates; b) bringing study or reference materials to the test area; c) giving or receiving assistance to or from another candidate during the examination; d) removing or attempting to remove examination content by any means, electronic or otherwise, from the testing site; and e) receiving or giving information about the written component or the clinical component either before or after 2 the examination. For example, releasing information about questions such as diagnosis or tasks and activities involved in the examination. Note: this includes discussing examination items or other information about the examination with examiners or other candidates after the examinations.
1 Debriefing increases the understanding of examination. Information gained in debriefing could act as an unfair advantage to unsuccessful candidates on future examinations. Confidentiality of information should be considered in the same way as confidentiality of patient information; the duty to maintain confidentiality is continuous.
