Objectives. To implement an answer-until-correct examination format for a pharmacokinetics course and determine whether this format assessed pharmacy students' mastery of the desired learning outcomes as well as a mixed format examination (eg, one with a combination of open-ended and fill-in-the-blank questions).
Methods. Students in a core pharmacokinetics course were given 3 examinations in answer-until-correct format. The format allowed students multiple attempts at answering each question, with points allocated based on the number of attempts required to correctly answer the question. Examination scores were compared to those of students in the previous year as a control.
