SMLE score is one of the factors contributing towards residency matching — your GPA (30 points) and CV score (15 points) also play an important role in determining your final aggregate score.

Using your SMLE score estimate

After calculating, compare the result with your official score report and review the GPA and portfolio contributions in the weighted-score guide. Plan application dates separately from exam appointments using the registration guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

560 is the SMLE passing score on the 200–800 scale. A higher score improves the exam contribution to your matching estimate, but there is no single score that guarantees a specialty or training centre. Review your complete application and current SCFHS nomination information.
