Had your ACCA exam mark amended?
26 February 2015
Some ACCA December sitters came in for a shock 11 days after they had received their exam marks – their pass marks were increased!
PQ magazine has heard that more than a few sitters have had their original mark upgraded by 1 or 2 percentage points.
For many it meant a better pass percentage, but for others the 2% rise turned a failure into a welcomed pass.
Interestingly PQ magazine has heard the ‘amendment’ happened in lots of papers – F5, F6, F9, P1, P2, and P6.
Sitters in Nottingham wondered if it was a centre issue, but many trainees agreed is was all ‘very strange’.
Student believe sitters deserve a proper explanation of what actually happened.
The ACCA’s Director of Learning, Alan Hatfield confirmed: “This one-off issue was identified through the Administrative Review process, which is part of a series of controls we have in place to ensure the integrity and transparency of both the marking and results release process.”
The notification emails also apologised for the error and promised that the ACCA was taking any measures it can to ensure that this cannot happen again in the future.
