A.Two consecutive days with 100 written MCQs on day 1 and an oral viva on day 2.

3Under the stated EBDVD scoring rules, what is the minimum number of correct answers needed in each 40-question session?
A.22, because at least 55% is required in each session
B.20, because 50% is sufficient when the overall score exceeds 55%
C.24, because 60% is required in each session
D.28, because 70% is required when there is no negative marking
Explanation: A threshold of 55% in a 40-question session equals 22 correct answers. The rule applies to each of the five sessions, with 1 point per correct answer and no negative marking.
4Which statement about the 2026 EBDVD logistics is correct?

5A trainee from Switzerland and a trainee from a non-EU, non-EEA country both submit applications. Which fee statement matches the stated EBDVD fee structure?
A.Both pay only a 550 EUR exam fee because the submission fee is waived for all candidates.
B.The Swiss candidate pays 750 EUR and the non-EU, non-EEA candidate pays 550 EUR.
C.Both pay a 30 EUR submission fee; the Swiss candidate pays a 550 EUR exam fee and the other candidate pays a 750 EUR exam fee.
D.Both pay 30 EUR only, because the exam fee is charged after results are released.
Explanation: The stated fees are a 30 EUR application submission fee plus an exam fee of 550 EUR for EU/EEA/Switzerland candidates and 750 EUR for candidates from other countries.
6A flat, sharply demarcated, brown area measuring 6 mm on the forearm is best described as which primary lesion?
A.Macule
B.Papule
C.Plaque
D.Nodule
Explanation: A macule is a circumscribed change in skin color without palpable elevation or depression, usually less than 1 cm. A larger flat color change is often termed a patch.
7A 1.5 cm tense, clear fluid-filled elevation arising on erythematous skin is best termed a:
A.Vesicle
B.Pustule
C.Wheal
D.Bulla
Explanation: A bulla is a fluid-filled blister larger than 1 cm. Vesicles are smaller blisters, pustules contain purulent material, and wheals are transient edematous plaques.
8Which description most accurately defines lichenification?
A.Loss of epidermis with exposure of the dermis
B.Thickened skin with accentuated skin markings due to chronic rubbing
C.Linear excoriations produced by scratching
D.A dry collection of serum, blood, or pus on the skin surface
Explanation: Lichenification is thickening of the skin with exaggerated skin lines, typically from chronic rubbing or scratching, as in chronic eczema.
9A plaque has an active raised border with central clearing, forming a ring-like shape. Which morphology term best captures this configuration?
A.Linear
B.Annular
C.Reticulate
D.Grouped
Explanation: Annular lesions are ring-shaped and often have central clearing. This configuration is classic for conditions such as tinea corporis but is not disease-specific.
10A patient with suspected autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease needs direct immunofluorescence. Which biopsy site is most appropriate for DIF?
A.Necrotic crust from the oldest blister
B.The center of an intact tense blister placed in formalin
C.A shave biopsy of scale from a distant uninvolved site
D.Perilesional, clinically normal-appearing skin close to a fresh blister in appropriate transport medium
Explanation: For direct immunofluorescence in suspected autoimmune blistering disease, perilesional non-blistered skin near a fresh lesion is preferred. Formalin destroys immunoreactants needed for DIF.

EBDVD Study Tips from Top Performers

1Map revision to the five official sessions so that no session falls below the required 55 percent threshold.
2Practise lesion morphology and clinicopathologic correlation; dermatopathology and clinical slide interpretation are explicit parts of the exam.
3For venereology, revise STI diagnosis, partner notification, HIV-related disease, pregnancy and neonatal considerations, and anogenital dermatoses rather than treating STIs as a minor topic.
4Use guideline-based management for melanoma, keratinocyte cancer, psoriasis, eczema, urticaria, bullous disease, acne, rosacea, infections, and drug monitoring.
5For remote sittings, prepare the secure room, invigilator, device, camera, phone, internet connection, translations, and mandatory test meeting well before the deadline.
