AUSTRIA / EXAM RULES
Format, scoring and rules for university nostrification exams. Each statement has a source and review date. Unconfirmed details stay visibly unconfirmed.
The test covers ten fields: internal medicine, surgery and paediatrics have 30 questions each; neurology, gynaecology, dermatology and emergency medicine have 25 each; ENT, psychiatry and ophthalmology have 20 each. These add up to 250 questions, not exclusively MC items.

A field is positive with at least 60 percent of its questions correct. Where basic comparability is established, six or more positive fields lead to supplementary exams in the negative fields; five or fewer lead to regular-curriculum exams. Scientific work may also be required.

The Innsbruck guide describes MC and Weil items with one best answer from four or five choices: two points when correct, otherwise zero. It also covers matching, gap text, image tasks, free text and key-feature tasks. Partial credit and some deductions depend on the item type. Whether a Pick-N rule applies is not confirmed here.
