State Specialization Exam (PES) 2018-2022

State Specialization Exam (PES) 2018-2022 Dataset

This dataset includes 297 exams from the Medical Examination Center conducted between 2018 and 2022.

The State Specialization Exam (PES) serves as a key assessment for physicians in Poland, marking the culmination of their specialization process. The exam consists of two parts:

* A written multiple-choice test

* An oral examination

Its primary goal is to assess proficiency and knowledge acquired during specialization training. Successfully passing the PES, along with completing required courses and qualifying training periods, is mandatory for physicians in Poland to receive official recognition as specialists in their fields. This certification grants them autonomy in practicing their specialization independently.

The dataset has been published on:

NIL - PES Exam Questions (1)

NIL - PES Exam Questions (2)

The exams and answer keys were provided in PDF files as separate documents. However, not all examples from the links were included in this dataset. Some PDFs contained only images without a text layer, making them unusable due to format limitations.
