Just took the first in the series of 3 "progressive evaluation of competence" exams from the ASC. Basically 100 image and text questions that you take throughout a cyto fellowship to assess improvement.

It spits out a score when you're done, but doesn't really give you much context.

Does anyone know what the mean score is supposed to be? Also, are the subsequent tests more difficult or are they supposed to stay the same?
 
They will stay the same but you are supposed to score higher. In other words, you are the one who is supposed to show progression throughout the fellowship. The exam difficulty does not change.
