Question about marking scheme for ICAI exams??

    Hi all,

    I got my auditing CAP 2 assessment result today. I got 9 out of 15. This means I need 41 out of the remaining 85% available which equates to about 48.25% in the final exam.

    However from looking at the sample papers, mock papers, CAP 1 exams last year, it appears that examiners give marks in whole numbers. So my result could be 48, 49, 50 etc, but not 48.5, 48.6 etc. 100 marks are available, unlike many college exams where there could be 300-400 marks available.

    So if i was to get 48% in my final exam, I'd get 49.8% overall. I'm wondering what happens if this is the case? Do I get rounded up to a pass?

    Sorry if I'm confusing people. And yes I will of course be aiming for a 50% pass, but it would be nice to know what sort of margin of error I have going in. (i.e. whether 48% will be enough, or whether I'd have to get 49%).

    Also am I correct in assuming that half marks arent awarded?

    I'd be highly surprised if you weren't rounded up to a pass.

    Anyway, think positive and aim as high as possible, so that this won't even be an issue!
