We recruit a panel of over 450 CPA and FCPA designated accounting professionals with specialist subject knowledge to assess exam papers. These professionals also ensure the content of our exams remains relevant to new developments in the profession each year. Your exam results are presented as a scaled score along with a grade and a candidate exam report.

Scaled scoring in practice
In the below example, exam version A and version B are created for the same subject. Exam version A is assessed as containing harder questions, and therefore fewer correct responses are required to achieve a pass mark. Conversely, exam version B is assessed as containing easier questions, and requires more correct responses to achieve a pass.
Mina and Paul have invested a lot of time preparing for the same exam and have acquired a similar amount of knowledge and skills. To ensure the security of their exams and to offer flexibility in their exam date, Mina was issued exam version A and Paul was issued version B.
Upon completion of their exam, Mina answered six answers correctly and Paul answered eight questions correctly. Initially, it seems Mina hasn't performed as well as Paul. However, as the examination committee had already determined Mina’s exam to be of slightly greater difficulty, their initial results are converted and placed on a scale. Mina and Paul have now been issued a scaled score which accurately reflects their performance and they have both passed the exam.
