Results

Your exam results will be sent to you by email. We will endeavour to release the results to you within 20 working days of the exam.

You will be given a percentage mark out of 100 for Paper 1 and for Paper 2, as well as an overall pass or fail award. As the exam is taken at a computer, the results are calculated as soon as you click 'submit'. This ensures there is no room for error in this marking system and so we do not offer the opportunity of questioning the marks awarded.

It is not possible to provide you with further feedback on your performance in this exam.

Upon passing Part 1, your name will be added to the Part 2 candidate list.
