Sooraj, if memory serves me well, u didnt receive the mail…are u a member? Trying to determine if i forgot to write my candidate number…

Not writing the candidate number would be taken care by the test center proctors mate. At the end of the tests, the proctors sit there and arrange the papers. They easily find out who forgot to write the number. I am SURE of this because someone in my test center forgot to write their number and they had to find it with his/her seat#. I heard the proctors discussing this as I had finished the test and was sitting idle. 100% sure, so dont worry mate & Good luck!

I’m sure i wrote the candidate number, Im more worried that I wrote the wrong number. I was late to start the exam so I was in an absolute fluster when I started writing.

I asked a friend of mine who was a proctor couple of years back, she said she/they don’t counter check. My guess is if you didn’t write something it would be so damn obvious, if you wrote the wrong number thats something else. But anyway hope there is always some discretion since I assume even a scatter brain like myself would write my damn name, test center and seat number right. No point being paranoid now I guess. I’ll know in 7 days.

Yeah man I don’t know why i keep getting that sneaking feeling about Band 10. But somebody has to be band 10 right.

[sooraj]

They dont counter check??? Naah, they did check in our test center. They checked the ticket printed out and the numbers we circled once we start writing the exam… Though I dont know if its specific to my center, but this has happened last three years for sure… Anyway, no point worrying too much about it since anyway you cant change it now! Good luck.

[bobice]

yeah good luck all. sweaty palms time.

I’ve been told that each MC question is weighted differently - some questions are weighted more (like 1.5 point) and some are less (0.5 point)…

i don’t know if it’s true though.

But that doesn’t sound fair. In a fair test you should know the “rules of the game” before the event. I would then spend more time on those questions that hold more weightage. Wait…isnt this the “justice theory” or something in the corp governance chapter? Memory slowly fading…maybe another theory but anyway…god I wish I don’t have to study this again

[iamthenight]

think the weightage of the questions is all equal, but due to the angoff thing, some qns will be ranked as easy and such. and from there the MPS citeria, and the subsequent weighting will be set?

what am i talking about…

I think it’s okay if no candidate knows, i don’t think even the “marker” knows since it’s multiple choice it just feeds into a machine, so it’s a double blind situation.

But i’m pretty sure not all MC are weighted teh same.
