only to you and the Examination Secretary.
What do I need for the Technical Exam?
You'll need the ephemeris for the current year.
Forms for Angles Calculation etc will be sent with the exam papers.
Who will mark the exam?
Your paper(s) will be marked by TWO professional
astrologers with experience of examination marking. At no stage
will any of the markers know your identity.
How will I be notified of the results?
You will receive your marks by mail
no later than the end of August. Kindly note that EXAM RESULTS
are final. NO CORRESPONDENCE will be entered into. Papers are NOT
returned to candidates and we advise you to keep copies of your
work, wherever possible, for your own records.
What are the marking grades?
At both Certificate and Diploma level, the grades are as follows:
Pass 60-69%
High Pass 70-79%
Merit 80-89%
Distinction 90-100%
Fail 0-59%
What if I pass one paper and not the other?
If you fail a paper, you will only ever be required to resit that
paper. You will never have to retake papers you have passed.
I have passed a certificate examination from another school, I
don't want to have to go through that subject all over again...
All examination passes from other reputable schools will be credited
fully and candidates will NOT have to retake papers (or even part
papers) in subject areas that they have successfully passed before.
