In reply to: did you pass? 's message, "I would avoid 1/2 marks as I have been to a few exams and listened to candidates when they come out and they were all told not to use 1/2 marks. I think what you did sounds correct and you really just need to be extremely confident when answering any questions and do not doubt yourself and they are trying to see how you act under pressure, which sometimes judging can be." on 15:46:55 04/10/10 Sat

I thought it made perfect sense to me. LOL They even nodded in agreement. Oh well. One thing I did see people doing was that they had a grid with 1-100 printed on it. As they assigned a mark, they x'd it off their grid so that they didn't overuse a certain mark or number. I think it's just game playing but something I will guess I will do for the exam. Also, one thing I noticed was be careful of comments you do make as they take it as though it was super important to you. It could have just been an identifying mark to help you remember 8 hours later but any comment can be used against you.

The next time they will tell you your marks are too spread out. (NT) -- There is no winning sometimes. :(, 18:10:34 04/10/10 Sat
- Oh gee. Thanks. Do you ever wonder if it's a foregone conclusion on who will pass or not? (more) -- ., 18:36:28 04/10/10 Sat
  - Honestly...I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to their methods. Problem is different examiners if you have to repeat so different opinions. Exam needs to be revamped. (NT) -- extremeley discouraging, 18:55:27 04/10/10 Sat
    - Agreed. I think a one on one dialogue about how your approach to judging would almost be more effective. Or implement a standard scoring system. For the TC, I think they should have an interview as well asking how they would handle various teaching situations. (NT) -- ., 19:01:37 04/10/10 Sat
