reliable examination results.

(3) Nationwide dates are to be held for the written examinations. When determining the examination tasks, the
bodies responsible under state law should, in accordance with an agreement between the states, use an institution
that has the task of preparing examination tasks for examinations within the framework of medical training as well

given the same examination tasks. When setting up the examination questions, it must be determined which
answers will be recognized as correct.

Paragraph 2 Clause 1. If this check reveals that individual examination questions are incorrect, these are not to be
taken into account when determining the examination result. The prescribed number of tasks for the individual
examinations (Section 23, Paragraph 2, Clause 1, Section 28, Paragraph 3, Clause 1) is reduced accordingly. The
