Hi,
This is a continuation of the following thread:
https://www.acted.co.uk/forums/inde...s-ca3-pass-mark-technical-difficulties.13044/
however the CA3 threads have now closed and therefore we're unable to add any more posts.
When I last posted on this matter I mentioned that I had made an official complaint via Putting Things Right about the marking of my August 2016 CA3 paper. In particular there was a clear disagreement between the marks awarded for my written paper (Marker 1: 38 and Marker 2: 54), with no third marking taking place.
I also complained about the handling of my queries by the education services team.
I am pleased to say that I received a response yesterday from the IFoA, who agreed that the marking procedures, as set out in the student handbook, was not followed and have arranged for my script to be independently third marked. The IFoA also agreed that one of my queries could have been handled better and the Education Services have been informed so lessons can be learned for the future.
I am a little gobsmacked and very pleased that the IFoA have finally admitted fault, apologised, and are now doing something about it.
I am not hopeful that I will receive a pass mark for the exam, but at least whatever mark I do get is more acceptable as my paper will have gone through the proper procedures which it should have gone through in the first place.
If anyone else has had similar problems then it is worth taking the matter further so that justice can be done.
Kind regards
Gavin
