OSCE performance reports: Frequently asked questions

The performance report does not provide my score. Can I request this?

No. Your individual performance report will show whether you ‘met’ or ‘did not meet’ the standard for each clinical scenario.

The Council does not provide numerical scores for individual stations or for the OSCE overall. This is because OSCE results are assessed cumulatively across all the stations and it is possible to fail one or more stations and still achieve an overall pass.

Will the Council provide me with more information about my performance report?

No. The Council is unable to provide additional performance information beyond what is included in the OSCE performance report.

The OSCE is a regulated examination, and maintaining the integrity of the examination process is important.

Do I need to complete a form to request an OSCE performance report?

Whether you need to request a performance report depends on when you sat the OSCE and whether you were unsuccessful.

• If you sat the OSCE from 12 January 2026, and were unsuccessful, a performance report will be sent to you automatically.
• If you sat the OSCE between 1 October and 20 December 2025 and were unsuccessful, you can request a performance report from the Nursing Council. Requests are open from 8 June 2026 to 31 August 2026 only.
• If you sat the OSCE before 1 October 2025, performance reports are not available, as reporting mechanisms for the current system do not extend further back than this date.

If you need to request a report, you must:

• Complete the OSCE performance report request form in full
• Sign the form yourself (applications from third party agents will not be accepted)
• Email the completed form to [email protected]

How long will it take to receive my performance report?

The timeframe for receiving your performance report depends on when you sat the OSCE.

The table below outlines what action (if any) is required and when you can expect to receive your report.

Please do not contact the Council about your request. Reports are issued automatically or in response to valid requests, and additional enquiries may delay processing.

Can I contact the Council about my performance report?

No. The Council is unable to respond to individual requests for additional performance information. OSCE performance reporting is an automated, standardised process.

I passed my OSCE. Can I request a performance report?

No. Performance reports are only issued to nurses who were unsuccessful in the OSCE.

I sat the OSCE before 1 October 2025. Can I request a performance report?

The Council does not provide OSCE performance reports for candidates who were unsuccessful before 1 October 2025, as reporting mechanisms for the current system do not extend further back than this date.

Can I ask Nurse Maude for a performance report?

No. The Nursing Council is the only organisation which is issuing OSCE performance reports.
