Thanks Trephena for that bit of insight. That sure is some encouraging stuff!!! lol 18 more days until…….. 🙂
P33 results start to be released at 00.01 GMT on Wednesday 22 March. We discovered why it sometimes takes hours to be able to access individual results – this is because they are released in batches to stop the whole system from crashing. This process means it can take up 6 hours before some results are available (but on average 3 hours).
We have yet to discover whether it is done on registration number (which would seem most logical) with the earliest registration numbers first. Maybe it might be interesting if students when they report their results on our P33 results forum (which will launched to coincide with the release) include the first three digits of their reg. Number and then we could see if there is a discernable pattern or whether it is completely random and more just like a lottery…..
Those who should be quaking in their boots are the students who didn’t do all of their work themselves (including spreadsheets and presentation slides). OBU is having the biggest crackdown ever on mentors who provide so called ‘samples’ and templates to use as these are in direct contravention of the University’s Academic Conduct rules. They are,also looking at fictitious work as they believe in some countries some mentors are engaging in inventing companies and facts (for topics 6, 13 and 18 for example) and producing bogus questionnaires.
The team to examine suspicious RAPs has been increased including use of a forensic investigator who analyses files for similarities. Even students who were previously passed can be investigated and stripped of the degree. This apparently is partly the result of the UK Government’s Department of Education putting pressure on all UK universities to put greater efforts into investigating and punishing plagiarism and also the belief that mentors in some parts of the world are virtually doing the projects for payment. Anyone caught could find themselves facing the penalty resubmission fee GBP 550 (with proposals to increase this to GBP 600) and notification of the incident to ACCA for further possible investigation. If stripped of the degree at best similar penalties will be imposed.
Even the use of a spreadsheet ‘sample’ can result in an investigation and reduction in grade – someone who was in line for an A for example would have their result deferred, be given a fail and possibly incur the penalty resubmission fee if they then resubmitted. Because of the fail they could only ever then get a C grade pass on resubmission.
However everyone who has done their work themselves need not be concerned. Even if deferred you should be cleared if you have honestly done the work and not used a sample and you will eventually get the grade the markers awarded it.
Not afraid of ACO at all. Just concerned of little stuffs that can cause failure.
Do stop worrying! 🙂 At the very worst you fail and resubmit. (Yeah I know it costs GBP 250 but overall a first fail is not the end of the world!)
Unlike with exams you are told the weaknesses. Some markers will give you some tips on how to approach these areas better so anyone who does fail needs to read the feedback carefully and read my article on How a good Resubmission statement is your key to success

Please note that whilst we do not anticipate any problems with access to the system, we will have approximately 2,000 students all trying to access their results that day so there could be some delay. Please be patient and try again if you are unable to access the site first time.
