All three examiners will mark each candidate independently out of a total score of 50. Once the examination is complete, the marks for the Senior Examiner, the Farriery Examiner, and the Veterinary Examiner will be called over. The marks from each examiner are then added up and divided by three to produce an aggregate out of 50. Since the marks awarded are for individual topics, the marks stand-alone and are not subject to discussion and the need for consensus.
