It's not an obsession, it's the marking system and the key is not the colours but the underlying C's and RC's. It's silly to imply it means nothing, it's the difference of a pass and a fail.
In a perfect world everyone get's c's in fr,bl and rc's in the rest but unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
Look at the difference for a pass or fail for FR, it's one rc to c. The colours is besides the point, it's a visual rep of pass,marginal pass,fail.

What's the difference between pass and marginal pass?

I suggest you read the document, it's explained really well.
Green is a clear cut pass, yellow is a marginal pass, difference is you can fail with a marginal pass due to sufficiency. See breakdown for c,rcs etc for a yellow (marginal pass).

Its people like you who confuse people every year, and why this conversation comes up every year.

Its Pass or Fail - simple as.

Get 50% of possible points - Pass Sufficiency

Get C in half of the indicators in BL & Fr and RC in half of the rest - Pass Breadth and Depth.

Simple as.

Marginal pass means nothing - you wouldn't see that wrote on your results in November

Still can't understand why people are still obsessed with the 'lighting system' - it means nothing.
Just read pages 1-9 of the above and forget about the rest!

All you need is the required amount of C's / RC's in specific subjects and the required amount of points!

Green / Yellow / Red means nothing!!

It's the only feedback you get and it's incredibly confusing. Especially when they messed it up this year. I failed the elective and passed core (6G). I then had to explain to everyone that although they messed up the results I got in the post, my result still stood and I would be repeating.

I can explain to you in more detail if you like, would you like it in the form of a memo, email or letter? /s
The scenarios given by chartered, not me, demonstrate the minor difference between a pass or fail (yellow vs red). Knowing what constitutes a yellow will let the person focus on this and get over the line. It's fine to say its easy get majority of c's (not half) in bl/fr and rc's in the rest but many people pass with a lot less.

FAE dear lord

I failed first time with 6 yellows and sufficiency 1.
Best advice is to aim for C in every indicator.
I made the mistake of thinking i only needed RC in Audit, Tax etc to pass.

Does anyone have a timetable for the revision course?

And does anyone know when the application form for repeat is due to be posted? It's to be in by 1 Feb but I can't see it on their website.

Just read through the CASSI report regarding the AAFRP exam. Seems about right. Glad they put a good amount of emphasis on the terrible venue in swords which was a disaster. Interesting to see what the other discussion forum regarding the venue is about and what will be the fallout from it.

I'm not allowed post URL links on here as I'm still considered a new member I think but the report can be found under the Education section and FAE sub section of the CASSI website.

Maybe someone else can post the link

I am registered for lectures in Dublin but I will be back in Galway for work reasons for a few weeks. I was wondering could someone who attends Galway for core lectures and tax elective lectures please PM me the two timetables (or just core one if doing a different elective). I searched the website but can only see the core and elective Dublin timetables for Groups I was assigned to. Thanks

Hi

What do we need to bring to the integrated workshops?

We are hardly expected to bring all of our notes? as there is alot of them,

As it is a mandatory lecture, what happens if you miss one?

Thanks

Anyone else having trouble getting into the student portal?

acurry89

Has anyone got a copy of the FAE APM Elective Dublin Timetable 2016?

Thanks

Hi all,
I'm a repeater (again) and I haven't signed up to any revision courses. I'm looking to get a copy of the 2015 mock exam papers and Malvern Pipe case study. If anybody can help me out with this it would be fab and I'd be most appreciative.
The mock papers should be on the student portal but for some reason I can't see them.
Cheers everybody.

Is anyones aafrp results up yet?? It's very unusual for the results not to be up early

superb choice of username

Ah and just like that it's up, they must pay close attention to boards looking forward to read report

Just got my AAFRP result. Only managed a BC.....pretty disappointed with that to be honest as felt good coming out of the exam.

How did everyone else get on?

Bubbaclaus

HC here. Delighted. The exam suited me at the time so was expecting to be happy today.

There's no actual difference between a C and HC in terms of marking though correct?

Garrigai

HC, delighted given the disastrous week in work leading up to it.

ACA2015

A HC here as well- results across the board are excellent it has to be said. The timing of the exam pre Christmas and the extra 20 minutes really helped people clearly.

Not to worry, sure it's only one indicator.

Hi - does anyone know if there is an elective tax lecture this weekend?

ACA2015

Why did the Institute combine the C and HC results for this sitting? Would love to know the split as previously done. Seems to be a lot of HCs out there

There's absolutely no difference between them in terms of grading so there was no point in splitting them out.

Repeat student here. Could someone please put up a timetable for the tax elective for any of the locations. I'm just trying to figure out what sessions are relevant for the interim assessment? Thanks.

Hi. Repeat student here in limerick. Can somebody put to the timetable for classes in limerick please? Thanks
