I just got the most recent College Standard, the publication the CMTO uses to keep Massage Therapists up to date on various regulations, bylaws, and other happenings within our regulatory college. In it are the 2006 statistics for new graduate OSCE and MCQ pass rates.
Algonquin College’s grads from last year had a high success rate. We had 38 people eligible to write the exams. Of those, 34 passed the OSCE on the first try, and 3 more passed on the second try, making the pass rate 97%. With the MCQ, we had 37 people attempt it at all. Of those, 28 passed the first time, 5 the second, and 1 the third, with an overall pass rate of 92%.
I’d say that Algonquin can happily continue to claim they really prepare their students for the provincial exams!
