Getting less than 4 answers out of 10 correct is not deserving of a pass, compensation or not. Sorry to be harsh, but I'd rather have to repeat an exam if it meant that the integrity of my course, and college is maintained.

True that, I can see why they wanted me to sit it again in fairness!
Just having a little rant to be honest!

Yeh when this kind of thing happens the marker cant justify passing you which is why he wont.

In my last set of exams I got a 68 and a 69... really frustrating! Hope you get the first anyway!

My course brought in an external examiner to meet with the students. This means that anyone who is on the brink of a higher classification can be bumped up; if the external thinks they are deserving of it based on a short interview.

Any one find out if he got a first or not.

Hey,

I should have specified that I am studying part time and it was my first year. My partner did a similar course in DIT full time and each year, her results were given a weighting like FCH etc. When I got mine, they didn't provide that. I asked the college and they said if it was my final year that I probably would have been bumped as one of my subjects had a great result in my CA but terrible in the exam (75%, 46% respectively).

The reason it was important to me is that my employer looks for my results and I wanted to be able to say FCH. Happy overall, on to next year. Sorry to have not been clearer - appologies to those who may have looked at this as a final year question.

No problem, best of luck with the rest of college
