I'm still yet to read one example I think is massively suspect. Have you tried googling exam moderation? A lot of examples come up for exam boards, universities etc all across the world, it might help. This entirely feels like people who are not used to failing exams throwing the toys out of the pram when it happens a few times and they're not sure how to fix it. I don't even know what you're fighting to get the institute to do, other than drop moderation altogether? I can see its frustrating when moderation works against you and you just miss out but I'm sorry to say it is a common, necessary and universally used process.
Yes....the UK has a different institute than other countries....so the requirements are different. Still not seeing a conspiracy.
So far no one has produced an example of the third marker coming up with anything above average of marker 1 & 2...
I was trying to bring the conversation back to normality but I don't think its working.
Well, they might be behind the double competence standards which they apply. That is something for which they should be taken to task..I don't understand why everyone is losing their minds over this. Borderline marks are marked a third time/ moderated. If a borderline mark is moderated upwards...they pass. How many people who passed are requesting SARs? There is no mystery around this at all. It is literally only the people with nappy rash because they just missed out/ keep missing out.
I was trying to bring the conversation back to normality but I don't think its working. So, we may as well talk about the real issue here. Did you guys know the IFOA are behind the twin towers?

Of course, to get a full picture, people who pass should also be submitting SARs.

I don't see how any member could be impressed that complaints and appeals for discrepancies such as 50.5/74 are rejected. Furthermore if the IFoA engages in such a dismissive manner, with the FRC doing nothing to take up these matters on students' behalf, this leaves only the external, legal routes left. This means the IFoA are spending serious money defending such cases... I simply ask isn't it better and cheaper to do a proper job in the first place? Why not treat the intelligent people who raise these concerns with the respect we deserve, since it's all about looking to improve the profession and uphold standards that our efforts in preparing for these exams deserve!
I think they do.... I suggest that those on this forum watch the peoples temple and get red pilled. when people realize the cult type controlling that takes place, they might be more inclined to challenge them..Actuarial scientology, lol....Think about it.IFoA do not treat students with dignity we all deserve. They come up with ambiguous replies with dismissive behaviour. They are not even willing to admit their own faults/blunders.
They do not realise how much efforts and sacrifices we have made to take these exams. They just treat us as money making machines. Take money for the appeals and send standard letter without addressing/investigating the concerns.
Just thought I'd provide an update. 2 1/2 months after submitting my issue with the IFoA regarding the lack of third marking I have finally had them admit that this wasn't done and has now been done (apparently).
Let me know which "Brand and make" are you buying......I think we should start wearing foil hats or simply wear a seive on our head to make sure they are not always one step ahead of us.
