Just had my SAR for the SA exam I passed (thank the Lord) last year. It's happened again, markers more than 10 marks out from each other, in my case on Q2.
Pass mark 62. I got 66.
Q1 no problems, same mark from both markers = 77/120 = 64.5
Q2. Marker 1 = 55/80 = 62.5, marker 2 = 66/80 = 82.5
So although in this case it didn't threaten a fail as all questions by both markers were over the pass mark... the discrepancy is big!
Also marker 3 turned up to give a mark for only question 1(iii) to confirm 8/12 rather than 6/12. Nowhere to be seen on Q2, where there was a large discrepancy between markers?!?! Especially on question 2(iii) where marker 1 gave me 32/42 and marker 2 41/42? Makes no sense to me.
