A supplementary exam is an additional exam (or other form of assessment) that may be approved for a student in the following circumstances:
A student who has come close to passing a subject and meets the relevant College guidelines for awarding a supplementary exam.
A student who has applied for special consideration due to unexpected circumstances impacting on their performance during the first exam.
This is a second chance to pass the subject and students must pass the supplementary exam to gain a pass overall. The best possible result from a supplementary exam is SP (supplementary pass) or SS (supplementary pass in an ungraded subject).
Supplementary exams are scheduled after the formal exam period, and may not be available for all subjects, or for all examination types.
The Purpose of this Program
This program assists students by assessing their level of contact lenses knowledge and identifying areas where knowledge may be lacking. Therefore, students are guided to where further study and practice are required.
We believe that higher levels of knowledge in students will give them the confidence to go out into practice and successfully fit contact lenses and manage their patients. This confidence contributes to the reduction of contact lens-related complications, consequently leading to fewer patient dropouts. This will ultimately increase the popularity of, and consumer confidence in, contact lenses as a form of vision correction.
STE Format
The exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions (MCQs). Thirty of these questions require the student to recognize/identify a certain type of lens fit or eye condition in a colour photograph.
