About 1 week before examination week begins, the test administrator will an receive an email with a link to instructions on how to access the SCCM Online Learning Director Portal from his/her MySCCM.org webpage. These instructions will include how to enroll fellows. Please note that all examination information will be sent to the email address provided when ordering the test. How are fellows enrolled in the test? Once the test administrator successfully logs in to MySCCM.org, he/she will be directed to the SCCM Online Learning Director Portal. On this webpage, each fellow’s name and corresponding email address must be entered. From this webpage, the test administrator can send each fellow an email containing the login information for the test. Test dates and times are set at the discretion of administrators and are scheduled outside of the examination link. Fellows within a program do not need to take the test simultaneously. How is the test administered? All examinations should be administered in a proctored environment, a setting that will best prepare participants for the subspecialty board examination. Proctoring will be left to the discretion of the program director. In the event a remote, virtual administration of the examination is desired, proctors will be expected to remind their students that the honor system is in effect. Will there be technical assistance available during exam week? Yes. Technical assistance will be available between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, during the examination timeframe. The phone number and e-mail address of technical support personnel will be sent to test administrators. How will I receive results? Test administrators can track fellows’ progress throughout the examination from the SCCM Online Learning Director Portal accessed through their MySCCM webpage. This webpage will also display the preliminary and final results as they become available. Preliminary reports can be accessed immediately after completion of the test by the fellows. These results may be printed or downloaded by the fellow. Final results will be available approximately 5 weeks after examination week. What information is included in the preliminary reports? Preliminary reports include a comprehensive score, as well as scores by knowledge area or category. These results are considered preliminary until the key is validated by the MCCKAP Committee, which will occur shortly after the examination closes. Validation is an important step, ensuring that items with questionable performance statistics are reviewed before final scores are calculated. Generally, few items are affected by the key validation so the preliminary results should closely approximate the final results. What are the start and end dates and times to take the exam? The 2021 MCCKAP examination will be available beginning at 9:00 a.m. Central Time on March 9, 2021, until 9:00 p.m. Central Time on March 16, 2021.
