⚠️ OSCE pass rate — headline 80% обманчив

NMC публикует headline pass rate 80-82% (Q1-Q2 2025) — но это включает resits. Реальный first-attempt pass rate ~48-54% на test centres. Закладывайте один resit в бюджет (£397 partial или £794 полный).

Pass rate выше у hospital placements vs community (89% vs 68% — Aug 2024). Тщательная prep + mock OSCE через RCN или test centre = критично.
