Hi, no where! this is just for us so that we can gauge the pass rate given the institute has not released the pass mark or the solutions
I am so vexed! I failed CP3 but I'm not going to accept it. The IFOA must have mixed up my paper or something. No way in the world I failed.
I am trying to understand whether they have been more strict in this session than usual or not - although these two exams have been online always, but I dont think they have been lenient due to covid and these trying times
41! I have never seen such a score since I have been writing IFOA exams!. I wrote it last year and i was one mark shy of the cutoff(scored 56). I was surprised but I let it go cause I believed there was room for improvement on my part. I went back to studying. I STUDIED. I didn't practice writing the essay in my first sitting but this time around I actually practiced essay writing and got someone to review. I was aiming for 80. I was so happy after the exam because I was so sure I wrote the exam very well. So imagine my shock to see 41! Like, did i submit a blank sheet? When i scored 56 the last time, I didn't even answer question 2! I was 8 months pregnant and so ill. This time around, I finished the report, finished question 2, had time to review all I wrote and was very happy and confident in what I did before I clicked submit. To see a score of 41!!!!! Is the IFOA playing a joke on me?! I'm totally confused and in shock!
I failed the last sitting with what I thought was a good attempt. I sat this one and I thought for sure that I failed but passed somehow. Marking is clearly so subjective - I think it's a pointless exam and deserves to be discontinued (along with CT9).
I don't care about them been lenient due to covid. I just need them to be clear in their marking. I don't understand them!
A friend at work had a similar score and he did not think it went that bad either. I think it was the approach as it was hard to call how much detail they wanted - really sorry to hear, hopefully next attempt goes better.
I have sent the IFOA an email. I want to see my script and also have it remarked. I just can't accept this. I'm in tears cos I worked sooooooo hard for this exam. I don't understand.
Do you still have your original script? What level of detail did you go into with the pricing etc? I remember I didn't even mention p-values, just spoke in very general terms, had 4 sections etc. I think exam reports are out tomorrow so should know for sure
yeah you have your script with you right, you can compare it to the solution they post p-values was extra information that they 100% did not want us to include as it was unnecessary given the audience we were addressing in the qn
