No, they don't give marks for answers that are partly correct on the multiple choice questions. There is only one correct answer. For the short answer questions part marks are sometimes given, but there won't be any short-answer questions on the exams in 2009.

All the exams are sent to Ottawa for processing. The provinces don't mark them. There are testing sites that are some distance from the provincial College offices, and all exams must be received by the College before they can be sent to Ottawa. Then the exam papers are scanned, the results printed out and collated by province. The Canadian Nurses' Association handles all of this; they then send out the results to the provinces, which break them down by individual results and send out notification. It takes time.
