    RE: Negative Marking, you get 3 marks for every correct answer, for every question skipped it is 0, and for everry wrong answer -1. The pass rate has lowered to 50% - so to pass you need to get 50 questions right assuming you answered 30 incorrectly which is 50%, or 40 right and 40 unanswered.

    if ur registered with the iob, they have online exams, which give you your result as soon as you have submitted form, and there is a pilot paper in the study guide and also a past exam on there too..:)

    qfas are not based on a neg marking system.. never have been..
    if you answer a question incorrectly you just get zero for that question..
    have all bar one of my qfas done and none have operated neg marking.

    Cally0412, No you're wrong, QFA exmas are negatively marked now. -1 for an incorrectly answered question. 3 for a correctly answered question and nothing for not answering it. And pass mark is now 50%

    Actually easier to pass now in my oponion.

    Supposing you know 40%, take a 50/50 of 40% and blind guess of 20% then your scores on average would be

    old system : 120 + 60 + 16 = 196 outta 300 = 65.3% = barely pass!
    new system : 120 + 60 - 20 + 15 - 15 = 160 outta 300 = 53.3% = pass with a bit to spare!

    So its easier to pass now!

    :cool:

    Hi
    I'm doing Regulation exam on 24th March.Does anyone have any tips for me? I have only 1 sample paper to review online.(always had at least 2 to review) would anyone have a few they could send me?? I'm doing it with IOB and the book is so badly laid out. It seems to all roll into one. The online test on each chapter is good but I would prefer to print out to review more often than having to log on etc...

    Would be happy with any information.Thanks
    Ails

    trying to find them myself... still waiting on manuals to arrive and bricking it if they are voluminous... dont know what i signed up for..... if you manage to get them, and could forward them to me i'd be grateful... maybe a study forum would help everyone to exchange ideas and help every one pass.. wonder if you or anyone else is interested in such a forum.

    Im also sitting Regulation in May, sat loans in January and the only thing that helped me was doing the full mcq test on the IOB website over and over and over again! It really is a joke that theres no sample papers anymore and no lectures.
    I listened to the live 'lecture' for loans and it was a disgrace, didnt go through anything that was helpful at all, really just the same as the videos at the end of the chapters.
    Id defo be interested in like a forum for questions people are having difficulty with that others might be able to help it, I think thats a great idea.
    Such a money making scam, €165 to resit :(

    Hi all,

    I don't mind people asking for past exam papers that are no longer available. Given that there are pay services out there for them I think it's reasonable to try to request them on boards.

    However you cannot post personal contact details on thread. Instead please request a PM and sort it out privately.

    Thank you.
